Jeremiah: cursed is the man who trusts in man

• What good does it do to pronounce this the end of the world?

A host shares from Jeremiah 16-18, reading that the sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron and engraved on the tablet of their heart, and that God says, 'cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength.' The hosts apply it directly: American Christians' woe is almost entirely misplaced trust in man-sized institutions, and they need to repent of it. They mock end-times paranoia over the election — the beast of Revelation is supposed to be a formidable character, and a 1-percent-victory president is not one — and a host asks what good it does to pronounce the end of the world on Facebook instead of grabbing your neighbor to tell them about Jesus.
