[Jeremiah 43:8-13](../../../kjv/jeremiah/43/8-13)
*Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brick kiln.*
**Jeremiah hides the stones in the brick kiln**
**
I*****.***They preached of the historic past.
**1.**From the soil in which they were found. They were stones of Egypt.
**2.**The place where they were buried--the brick kiln--must have carried their thoughts back to the hard labour of their ancestors under the lash of the taskmasters ([Exodus 9:8](../../../kjv/exodus/9/8)).
**3.**The burial of the stones beneath the ground might have suggested the past condition of Israel in this same land; they were buried under the oppressive tyranny of the heathen monarch and his people, and had been raised, as it were, from a grave of degradation and lifted into a new life as a free people by the mighty hand of God.
**
II.**They prophesied of the future.
**1.**The only refuge from the displeasure of God is to be found in God Himself.
**2.**Unbelief in the Divine Word will not prevent the fulfilment of it.
**3.**The true minister of God will not be deterred by opposition from declaring the judgments, as well as the mercies, of God. (*A London Minister*.)
