 This class takes us on a study of a fascinating book and an amazing man. Jeremiah's life as a prophet was an incredibly difficult one. He suffered much for his commitment to God. God raised him up at the most difficult time in Judah's history. The Book of Jeremiah -- Longest book of the Bible (in number of words - not chapters) -- Jeremiah's painful life story - there are difficult days coming to Judah and Jeremiah suffers the cost of following God. God told him to not get married or have children because what is coming is devastating. Jeremiah was beaten, imprisoned, threaten with death, put in a cistern, conspired against, accused of treason, attacked by his own family and more. -- 40+ year ministry - Long ministry that took him through ongoing difficulty. -- Tradition regarding the death of Jeremiah - not mentioned in the Bible - but ancient Jewish tradition says he died in the desert of being stoned. -- Baruch the scribe - Jeremiah's trusted scribe that put his book together. -- Bulla! - a ring for sealing with wax was discovered in an archeological dig in ancient script saying "Baruch son of Norah, the scribe." This reminds us that these are real people and these events really did take place. -- Two versions (Hebrew and LXX) - Pastor talks about several versions of the book of Jeremiah, that there are some differences and gives an idea why there are these different versions based on Baruch's desire to preserve Jeremiah's story and teachings and words from God. Chapter 1 - Jeremiah's Call to be a Prophet Chapters 2-24 - Jeremiah's Faithfulness ongoing account of Jeremiah's faithfulness to follow God Chapters 25-35 - the Opposition Jeremiah Faces from government people, leaders, priests, religious leaders work to put him in prison, accuse him of treason and work to get rid of him. Chapters 36-45 - Judah's collapse - gives a vivid description of the nation falling apart and collapsing. The challenging part of reading this book is that it is not written in chronological order. Pastor takes us through it in chronological order. (The chronological order of the book is available at our website at https://www.awakeusnow.com/bible-in-a-year and then under Week 17 "The Chronological Order of the Book of Jeremiah." The Call of Jeremiah - God tells Jeremiah to do all He commands him. The Lord promises to be with him and protect him. He was given clear instruction from God and commanded to build and to plant. Jeremiah's message - was a message that shows the heart of God - speaking of the peoples' rejection of God, a nation that has only a veneer of religion without heart-felt faith, in reality they live for themselves and not God. A truth for the state of Christianity today. Jeremiah and King Josiah - teamed together to bring repentance and revival to Judah. When Jehoiakim comes to the throne in 605 BC, Babylon begins to emerge as the great world power. Jeremiah brings tough words to Jehoiakim tells the king and the people the consequences for turning away from God. God shows His desire to re-make His people, like a potter shaping the clay. He has Jeremiah tell them if they repent the Lord will relent - God's heart of desiring they come back to Him, but the people rebel against the words and want Jeremiah killed. Jeremiah knows the pain of living in a day when God's people have turned away from Him. Yet he retains the "fire in the belly" to continue to speak what God reveals and tells him. Jeremiah shares several honest laments with God - and God again promises to rescue and save him, that He will be with Him. Jeremiah will go through hard times but God will always be with him. When we go through hard times, we too can be assured that God is always with us. God has Jeremiah share the message that unless they turn back there will be judgment and it will last 70 years and that they would be overtaken by the Babylonians . (These prophetic words did take place) Jehoiakim burns the first writing of Jeremiah. Then Zedekiah comes to the throne and he knew that Jeremiah spoke the truth but he did not have the faith to be faithful. Zedekiah is captured, tortured and put in chains by the Babylonians.The Babylonians conquer Judah, the is city defeated and the Temple destroyed. Pastor closes with Jeremiah 31:31-34, a promise from God, one of hope. God promises a new covenant of forgiveness - the promise of Jesus. And God keeps His promises!
