Context — Jeremiah’s Message at the Temple Gate
13And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer,
14therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
15And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
16As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you. 17Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?Cross References

Jeremiah 7:15 Summary
Jeremiah 7:15 means that if we disobey God and do not listen to Him, He will remove His presence from us, just like He did with the tribe of Ephraim. This is a serious warning to us to remain faithful to God and to obey His commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-2. If we do not, we risk being cut off from God's blessings and protection, and instead face His judgment, as seen in Romans 11:22. We must stay close to God through prayer, Bible reading, and obedience to His Word, as seen in John 15:1-6.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be cast out of God's presence?
Being cast out of God's presence means to be removed from His blessings, protection, and fellowship, as seen in Jeremiah 7:15, similar to what happened to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:23-24 when they were removed from the Garden of Eden after disobeying God.
Who are the descendants of Ephraim mentioned in this verse?

Is this verse talking about a physical or spiritual removal from God's presence?
This verse is referring to a spiritual removal from God's presence, where the people are no longer in a right relationship with God, as seen in Jeremiah 7:15, which is similar to what Jesus taught in John 15:1-6 about being cut off from the vine if we do not abide in Him.
How does this verse relate to the New Testament teachings on God's presence?
This verse relates to the New Testament teachings on God's presence in that it emphasizes the importance of maintaining a right relationship with God, as seen in Hebrews 13:5-6 and other passages, where it is written that God will never leave or forsake His people, but they must also remain faithful to Him.
Reflection Questions

(15) The whole seed of Ephraim.—The fate of the tribes of the Northern kingdom, among which Ephraim had always held the leading position, was already familiar to the people.
