Left unchecked it becomes multi-generational &#8211; one generation after another never moving out of poverty.<\/p>\n<p>Something in my reading this morning reminded me of that. I&#8217;m just about done with Jeremiah. The last few chapters contain a lot of doom prophecies against nations around Israel. But one caught my attention this morning.<\/p>\n<p>To the nation of Ammon, Jeremiah wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>You are proud of your fertile valleys, but they will soon be ruined. You trusted in your wealth, you rebellious daughter, and thought no one could ever harm you. <strong>Jeremiah 49:4 (NLT)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Why so interesting? Because of a parallel I see here. Let me see if I can walk through the thought process that made it stand out (none of the commentaries or notes I read mentioned it):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ammon was the nation descended from Ben-Ammi. Ben-Ammi was the son of Lot and his youngest daughter (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=genesis%2019:30-38&amp;version=51\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genesis 19:30-38<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>The reason Lot had that daughter is because he left Abraham and settled in the fertile Jordan Valley near Sodom, and finally ended up married to a woman of Sodom and a politician in the city (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=genesis%2013:10-13;&amp;version=51;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genesis 13:10-13<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=genesis%2014:12;&amp;version=51;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14:12<\/a>; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=genesis%2019:1-2;&amp;version=51;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19:1-2<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>The reason they left Sodom was because of God&#8217;s destruction of the city and the entire valley. <a href='https:\/\/solutionforecommerce.com\/dot\/18o4rqw\/'>gry hazardowe za pieni\u0105dze<\/a>  Lot&#8217;s wife could not leave her wealth and family behind and was caught up in the destruction (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=genesis%2019:15-26;&amp;version=51;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genesis 19:15-26<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you see the parallel? Fifteen hundred years after Ben-Ammi was born into a spiritually impoverished family, the Ammonites were still opposing God. Like in Lot&#8217;s day, their &#8220;fertile valleys&#8221; of which they were so proud would &#8220;soon be ruined&#8221;. Like Lot&#8217;s wife, they &#8220;trusted in [their] wealth,&#8221; but it could not save them. Like Lot&#8217;s daughters, they were still &#8220;rebellious&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>None of us want our families to be impoverished.
