And strong wine from what he knew of This group of his people descended from the Kenites of the line Of Moses.. They had foresworn intoxicating drink and ostentation of All types..' Now Jeremiah wondered? Would they be overawed by the Setting and offering from an authority figure? Just then the sound Of people approaching could be discerned till shortly a knot of men Appeared about three tents away once they covered the the distance Between them the group of eight stood quietly, then two of the eldest Approached Jeremiah, they gave their nsmes as Ethan and Jesse Jerimiah wasted no time in offering them the chance to visit the temple Under his oversight, the whole group were most pleased and assured Him they would be there just before next midday, at this Jeremiah turned And made his way slowly back to the temple.'once there he sought out The temple overseer one pashur.' With whom Jeremiah was always Contending with.' However he beleived in this instance, he would get Co operation.? In their meeting Jeremiah requested a room be made Ready in a sumptous manner with six jars of strong temple wine and Food for the midday guests if the morrow to come.' He noted the slightly Confused look upon pashurs face..However it was agreed more to be Done and The meeting was concluded.' The next morning Jeremiah lay In his bed praying to the Lord from well before dawn.' Then as daybreak Came he wen't out to feed and clean the small ammount of sheep and Goats he kept for milk and produce." After ministering to his flock he Returned to wash, snd study the scriotures of life as he thought of them He made his way to a turret on the temple wall where there was often a Cooling breeze to sit and immerse himself in Gods word.' After some time had passed and the sun was ascending one of the boys in service Besought him to announce people wwre at the gate requesting his presence, he hurridly placed his papers in a box at hand and began his Way down. Once at the gate he greeted the group, and was plesantly Surprised by their joyful attitude, then veey soon he and pashur who had Now arrived let them to the room prepared' once there and after they Washed their feet, the meal commenced consisting mainly of dried fruits And bread, after much talk aboout their usual way of life and so forth Jerimiah arose from his seat; at this they all got up also' and watched as He walked a short distance toward a dark red curtain He wasted no time in pulling it aside, to reveal six earthenware jars He turned and motioned to the visitors, the approached reverently here Said Jeremiah are jars of strong red wine, we would like you to taste.' Of it...He scrutinised the faces of Ethan and Jesse as he said these words He was greeted with expressions of shock on both of them, he noticed Them look at each other obviousley completely at a loss on how to respond? Well said Jerimiah?? You seem very quiet from a moment ago.' Yes Jesse was first to answer I..I am honoured by this great opportunity Yet we must decline.' Am i hearing correctly? Responded Jeremiah? Feigening consternation..He put his staff of office in front of him and Leaning on it gazed deeply into their eyes.' You have come here and eaten Of the Lords fare..And drunk the water.. Yet you refuse the wine.? Well Yes replied Jesse this time..My lords do not think us disrespectful yet Our forefather made a promise to 'Him who cannot be named.' Never to Drink strong wine..Its that simple really..At this Jeremiahs heart rejoiced Within..And he embraced all of them saying (good and faithfull) I had Heard such.' And you stayed true.!! At this he noted what looked like a Dissatified look on pashurs face..' He said to the men we are so pleased In fact at your obedience we will load eight donkeys with provisions for Your familiys and send them before the Sabbath isn't that right Pashur.? He got a strangled noise at this from the Temple overseer.' After this All vacated the room to return to their own affairs, and Jeremiah knew He had a message to deliver to the still rebellious people.!
