SCRIPTURAL VERSES ABOUT DESTINY.

JEREMIAH 29 "I wrote a Letter to the priests, the prophets, the leaders of the people, and to all the others whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken away as prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylonia. I wrote the Letter after King Jehoiachim, his mother, the palace officials, the leaders of Judah and of Jerusalem, the engravers, and the skilled workers had been taken into exile. I gave the Letter to El-Asah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom King Zedekiah of Judah was sending to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia."(1-3)
"The LORD Almighty, the GOD of Israel, says to all those people whom HE ALLOWED Nebuchadnezzar to TAKE AWAY AS PRISONERS from Jerusalem to Babylonia: 'Build Houses and settle down. Plant Gardens and eat what you grow in them. Marry and have children. Then let your children get married, so that they also may have children. You must increase in numbers and not decrease. Work for the good of the cities where I have made you go as PRISONERS. PRAY TO ME on their behalf, because if they are prosperous, you will be prosperous too'."(4-7)
"I, the LORD, the GOD of Israel, WARN you not to let yourselves be deceived by the Prophets who live among you or by any others who claim they can predict the future. Do not pay ant attention to their dreams. They are telling you lies IN MY NAME. I did not send them." (8-9)
"The LORD says, 'WHEN Babylonia's 70 years are over, I will SHOW MY CONCERN for you and KEEP MY PROMISE to BRING you back home. I ALONE KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE for you,
PLANS TO BRING you PROSPERITY and NOT DISASTER, plans TO BRING ABOUT THE FUTURE YOU HOPE FOR."(10-11)

The LORD gave me this answer, "WRITE down CLEARLY ON TABLETS WHAT I REVEAL to you, so that IT CAN BE READ AT A GLANCE. Put it in writing FOR IT IS NOT YET TIME FOR IT TO COME TRUE. But the TIME IS COMING QUICKLY, and WHAT I SHOW you WILL COME TRUE. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; IT WILL CERTAINLY TAKE PLACE, and IT WILL NOT BE DELAYED." (2:2-3)

WEALTH is deceitful. Greedy people are proud and restless -like Death itself they are never satisfy. That is why they conquer nation after nation for themselves.
The conquered people will taunt their conquerors and show their scorn for them.
They will say, "You take what is not yours, but YOU ARE DOOMED! How long will you go on getting rich by forcing your debtors to pay up? But before you know it, you that have conquered others will be in debt yourselves and be forced to pay interest. Enemies will come and make you tremble. They will plunder you! You have plundered the people of many nations, but now those who have survived will plunder you because of the murders you have committed and because of your violence against the people of the world and its cities."
"YOU ARE DOOMED! You have made your family rich with what you took by violence, and have to make your own home safe from harm and danger! But your schemes have brought shame on your family, by destroying many nations you have only brought ruin on yourself. Even the stones of the walls cry out against you, and the rafters echo the cry."
"YOU ARE DOOMED! You founded a city on crime and built it up by murder. The nations you conquered wore themselves out in useless labor, and all they have built goes up in flames. The LORD Almighty has done this. But the earth will be as full of knowledge of the LORD'S GORY as the seas are full of water."
"YOU ARE DOOMED! In your fury you humiliated and disgraced your neighbors; you made them stagger as though they were drank. You in turn will be covered by shame instead of honor. You yourself will drink and stagger. The LORD will make you drink YOUR OWN CUP OF PUNISHMENT, and your honor will be turned in disgrace." (2: 5-16)
