Thus says the LORD:
“A voice is heard in Ramah,
lamentation and bitter weeping.
Rachel is weeping for her children;
she refuses to be comforted for her children,
because they are no more.”(Jeremiah 31:15 ESV)
In almost all of the prophesies of the coming Messiah we have a mixed bag: our Deliverer is coming, but He will be opposed. Whether it is descriptions of the end of His days on earth, with the Passion, or His entry into the world, like here, Satan does not want the Lord's plan to succeed, and will work to stop it at every point, at any cost. Such evil and opposition still exists in the world today, as does such a low value of life. Yet, our Redeemer has come, and lives, and is coming again to give life eternal.
