Let me first say that this is difficult to write, but it must be written because of the command given to Jeremiah found at Jeremiah 26:1-6
“This is what the Lord says: Stand in the courtyard of the Lord’s house and speak to all the people of the towns of Judah who come to worship in the house of the Lord .
Tell them everything I command you; do not omit a word.
Perhaps they will listen and each will turn from their evil ways. Then I will relent and not inflict on them the disaster I was planning because of the evil they have done.
Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: If you do not listen to me and follow my law, which I have set before you,
and if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you again and again (though you have not listened ), then I will make this house like Shiloh and this city a curse among all the nations of the earth.’” – Jeremiah 26:2-6

I know I need to be careful with this, meaning I need to be in-depth in research and proof, because this is a serious matter.
With this issue, of jealousy, our Heavenly Father was addressing his own people.
So this is for us Christian Believers of the Most High God who sacrificed his only begotten Son to redeem us back to himself because he loved us so much. (John 3:16)
This is no small matter. This is not something that should be taken lightly.
The issue is this: when we know what it is that we do that angers (upsets) someone we claim to care so deeply about, then we could repent of it, and turn from it so as to not do it again. But when we do not know, then the behavior continues and the anger remains and that continued anger causes the two to separate.
Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? – Amos 3:3

This is the same when it comes to our relationship with our Heavenly Father.
He has been specific in telling us what He approves of and disapproves of. But if we continue to do things that angers Him, our Creator, the Sustainer of all life, then that is not good for us.
This is a difficult writing for me that I feel pressed to do because my spirit within me is agitated to the point that I cannot rest.
It is currently 3:38a.m. on December 14th. I awakened at about 2:45a.m. knowing that I was going to be looking at and addressing Shiloh because our Heavenly Father, in addressing his people, said that we were to remember what HE did to Shiloh, the first place of worship that bore his name.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
“Stand at the gate of the Lord’s house and there proclaim this message: “‘Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah who come through these gates to worship the Lord.
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place.
Do not trust in deceptive words and say, “This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord , the temple of the Lord !”
If you really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, if you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave your ancestors for ever and ever.
But look, you are trusting in deceptive words that are worthless.
“‘Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known, and then come and stand before me in this house, which bears my Name, and say, “We are safe”—safe to do all these detestable things?
Has this house, which bears my Name, become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord.
“‘Go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for my Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
While you were doing all these things, declares the Lord, I spoke to you again and again, but you did not listen; I called you, but you did not answer.
Therefore, what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears my Name, the temple you trust in, the place I gave to you and your ancestors. I will thrust you from my presence, just as I did all your fellow Israelites, the people of Ephraim.’ – Jeremiah 7:1-15
