anyone know the meaning of Jeremiah 1:4-5?

Question

also does anyone know the meaning of Ephesians 1:4? i'm not really sure

Answer 1

Jeremiah 1:4-5, is telling Jeremiah that God had set him apart. This can still speak to us today telling us how God cares about each one of us.

Ephesians 1:4, this says he chose "us". "Us" refers to all those who would believe in him. God has predestined that all who will believe will recieve spiritual blessings.

Answer 2

Jeremiah 1:4-5: The meaning is this: before your physical body was created in the womb YOU WERE OF SPIRIT. Yah knew you before you came to this earth. The spirit was the first of creation. That is why Yahshua could say 'Before Abraham was, I am.'
Hence, you should now understand Ephesians 1:4. Many are called, but few are chosen. There are some who are CHOSEN, and there are many others who are called, but refuse.

Answer 3

Bobby Jim was about as close as you can get. What most people don't realize is that there was a time period called the first earth age. It was a time dispensation not the age of the earth . It came between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 . People were on earth before Adam and eve. It was at this time that God came to know and favor Jeremiah. It was then that God decided He was going to use Jeremiah as a prophet after he refurbished earth and put us back on earth through woman.
I mean how else could God basically say in the book of Acts that "while He loved Jacob, He hated Esau since BEFORE he was in his mother's womb" . The book of Job chapter 40 will give evidence of life on earth before Adam and eve. Ephesian 1:4. During our first time on earth (the first earth age mentioned above).Satan started to cause many of us to sin. The wages of sin is death. But God decided right then and there(before the foundation/ creation of the world that He would send Christ to pay that penalty so that we could be blameless in his sight. That is to say that we don't have to pay that penalty of death. Another hint at this pre Adam and eve age is when Christ said " I will utter things that have been hidden since the foundation of the world. The thing that has been hidden is that there was a populated earth before adam and Eve and also that during that time satan and one third of us rebelled and God put it down ( look up the word foundation in the strongs and it says "put down" as in rebellion.

Answer 4

The importance of faith is seen in the opening words of Jeremiah’s prophecy. On his part, Jehovah showed both love and faith toward Jeremiah by telling him: “Before you proceeded to come forth from the womb I sanctified you. Prophet to the nations I made you.” But Jeremiah was not ready. He pleaded to be excused: “Alas, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah! Here I actually do not know how to speak, for I am but a boy.” We might be inclined to sympathize with Jeremiah, feeling we would likely have said the same thing. Did Jehovah ignore or allow such a plea? No. His response was straight to the point: “Do not say, ‘I am but a boy.’ But to all those to whom I shall send you, you should go; and everything that I shall command you, you should speak. Do not be afraid because of their faces, for ‘I am with you to deliver you,’ is the utterance of Jehovah.”—Jer. 1:4-8.

Answer 5

I think Jeremiah might be talking about 'eternity'. Eternity is not just time-forever and ever. It means that all times are the same time to God, that God is in all times at once. He can see your whole life in one glance, in fact the entire history of the universe, all at once. That's the idea anyway.

Or it might just be that God chose Jeremiah to be a prophet from before the time he was born, rather than just choose him among men on earth. Prophets are born, not made. Perhaps.

In Ephesians Paul is saying that Jesus was created at the beginning of the universe, meaning obviously that God didn't just decide to send down Jesus, Jesus' mission was part of his plan, decided when he created the universe.

Answer 6

What these verses in Jeremiah are saying is this: even before you were conceived in your mother's womb, God thought of you, and had your life planned out in advance. He had specific purposes for your life, even before you were born.

What Ephesians 4:1 is saying is this: God knows exactly who will or who will not come to salvation in Christ, and He predestined it before we were even born. God knows everything that we will say and do, even before we do it or say it. We still have the free will to choose what we do with our lives, and we may try to run and hide from God's ultimate purpose, but He will eventually place people into our lives to fulfill His own will.

Answer 7

Jer. 1:4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
5) Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

What's to not understand? Jesus (the word) is telling Jeremiah the He knew him before he was born, and that Jeremiah had been chosen before birth to become a prophet to Israel.

Answer 8

God is described as being 'omniscient'.
That word means 'all-knowing'.
From the beginning before He even laid the foundations of the world He knew all that was going to happen. He knew all who would be born and all they would do.

From the beginning He set into motion certain laws that govern how things work, such as the laws of physics, gravity, and motion, etc. He also set into motion spiritual laws one of which is that all who accept His Son as Savior will walk a certain path which directs them to become more like Jesus.

It is not that He wrote a story that we only live out, but that His guidance of events in our lives will take us closer to Him and cause other things to happen that will help us learn the life-lessons we need to be more Christ-like.

Answer 9

He is called the I am, time doesn't matter to Him. He knew us even before He made the whole creation, that's why we can trust Him because He knows the begaining to the end of time & eternity. Praise the Lord!!!!!

Answer 10

I'm going to assume you understand the plainest of English. Is there some problem with what you'd like to believe it means, and what it says?
