Jeremiah 38 I can understand the logic of those who wished to put Jeremiah to death. His prophecies would serve to dishearten those who would defend Jerusalem. It is interesting that Zedekiah’s response to them was essentially that he could not control them. He seems to have been a weak leader both in righteousness and…

Jeremiah 37 So Zedekiah would not hearken to the word of the Lord from Jeremiah but he was good enough to send men to Jeremiah and request that he pray unto the Lord for them in times of trouble. It sounds like he was a man without any particular faith casting about for anything that…

Jeremiah 35 – 36 The posterity of Jonadab obeyed his instructions for generations to drink n wine and build no houses but the people of Judah and of Israel will not hearken to the words of the Lord. The Lord gave the people another chance to hearken to His words and I find it interesting…

Jeremiah 34 Why was Zedekiah to die in peace? As far as I understand he was not a righteous king. I can’t tell for sure if Zedekiah was among those who turned back against the decree to set their servants at liberty or if it was just his people who reversed course on that after…

Jeremiah 32 Because of the abominations that Israel performed in the land to many gods the Lord needed to cleanse it as He had when He gave them the land in the days of Joshua. That cleansing came by the hand of the Chaldeans and afterward the land would again be given to those children…

Jeremiah 31 I could use some turning of my mourning into joy right about now.

Jeremiah 30 What a delicate balance the Lord must strike in correcting His chosen people while still showing to all His children that He is the rock upon which they may build.

Jeremiah 28 – 29 After the prophecy of Jeremiah that the Lord had given Nebuchadnezzar to rule over many nations, about 10 years after Nebuchadnezzar had installed a vassal king in Israel and taken much of the treasure of the temple along with the son of the king and other choice people (apparently including Daniel),…

Jeremiah 27 We started the day with a 6 AM sealing assignment at the temple and I never stopped to study my scriptures after we got home so tonight is late but for a good cause I’d say. Wow! Jeremiah gets more fascinating all the time. He prophesied to the king of Judah and the…
