Tunbridge Monthly Meeting Index Tunbridge Monthly Meeting First Book of Records June 30th, 1802 to October 7, 1825 Transcribed by Robert M. Murphy Vermont Historical Society April 2018 1 The following pages are a transcription of (principally) lists of members of the Tunbridge Monthly Meeting of Freewill Baptists. The records are from the collections of the Vermont Historical Society Library, 60 Washington St., Barre, Vt., and have the catalog number AC 802380. The book consists primarily of minutes of meetings from the period 30 June 1802 through 7 October 1825. Although there are baptismal records sprinkled throughout these minutes, the writing is faded and difficult to interpret, so no attempt was made to search for and record them. The member lists appear from time to time in the record book, and annotations sometimes appear to indicate a death or other event. The member lists are transcribed as accurately as possible, as written. Uncertain interpretations of the written records are included in square brackets. An all-name index appears at the end of this transcription. p. 3 Spirit of God in his word expecting that he will yet further & more gloriously open his word and misterious of his kingdom [f]lying to the blood of the everlasting covenant for the pardon of our many errors and praying that the Lord would prepare and strengthen us for every good work to do his will working in us that which is well pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ to whome be glory forever.

ETS, Atlanta 2010 “The Prophet Jeremiah as Theological Symbol in the Book of Jeremiah” Gary E. Yates, Ph.D. Introduction Timothy Polk has noted, “Nothing distinguishes the book of Jeremiah from earlier works of prophecy quite so much as the attention it devotes to the person of the prophet and the prominence it accords the prophetic ‘I’, and few things receive more scholarly comment.”1 More than simply providing a biographical or psychological portrait of the prophet, the book presents Jeremiah as a theological symbol who embodies in his person the word of Yahweh and the office of prophet. 2 In fact, the figure of Jeremiah is so central that a theology of the book of Jeremiah “cannot be formulated without taking into account the person of the prophet, as the book presents him.”3 The purpose of this study is to explore how Jeremiah the person functions as a theological symbol and what these motifs contribute to the overall theology of the book of Jeremiah.

  • It Is Difficult to Speak About Jeremiah Without Comparing Him to Isaiah. It
    751 It is diffi cult to speak about Jeremiah without comparing him to Isaiah. It might be wrong to center everything on the differences between their reactions to God’s call, namely, Isaiah’s enthusiasm (Is 6:8) as opposed to Jeremiah’s fear (Jer 1:6). It might have been only a question of their different temperaments. Their respec- tive vocation and mission should be complementary, both in terms of what refers to their lives and writings and to the infl uence that both of them were going to exercise among believers. Isaiah is the prophecy while Jeremiah is the prophet. The two faces of prophet- ism complement each other and they are both equally necessary to reorient history. Isaiah represents the message to which people will always need to refer in order to reaffi rm their faith. Jeremiah is the ever present example of the suffering of human beings when God bursts into their lives. There is no room, therefore, for a sentimental view of a young, peaceful and defenseless Jeremiah who suffered in silence from the wickedness of his persecu- tors. There were hints of violence in the prophet (11:20-23). In spite of the fact that he passed into history because of his own sufferings, Jeremiah was not always the victim of the calamities that he had announced. In his fi rst announcement, Jeremiah said that God had given him authority to uproot and to destroy, to build and to plant, specifying that the mission that had been entrusted to him encompassed not only his small country but “the nations.” The magnitude to such a task assigned to a man without credentials might surprise us; yet it is where the fi nger of God does appear.

INTRODUCTION Many attempting to make sense of prophetic literature in the Hebrew Bible would echo Carroll's assessment that "[t]o the modern reader the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel are virtually incomprehensible as books."1 For Carroll, the problem with reading these books as "books" is that there is a confusing mixture of prose and poetry, a lack of coherent order and arrange­ ment, and a shortage of necessary contextual information needed for accu­ rate interpretation.2 Despite the difficult compositional and historical issues associated with the book of Jeremiah, there is a growing consensus that

  • Year 1, Proper 24, Monday: Morning Prayer
    YEAR 1, PROPER 24, MONDAY: MORNING PRAYER The First Lesson. The Reader begins A Reading from the Book of Jeremiah The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, at Migdol, at Tah'panhes, at Memphis, and in the land of Pathros, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: You have seen all the evil that I brought upon Jerusalem and upon all the cities of Judah. Behold, this day they are a desolation, and no one dwells in them, because of the wickedness which they committed, provoking me to anger, in that they went to burn incense and serve other gods that they knew not, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers. Yet I persistently sent to you all my servants the prophets, saying, ‘Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate!’ But they did not listen or incline their ear, to turn from their wickedness and burn no incense to other gods. Therefore my wrath and my anger were poured forth and kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they became a waste and a desolation, as at this day. And now thus says the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against yourselves, to cut off from you man and woman, YEAR 1, PROPER 24, MONDAY: MORNING PRAYER JEREMIAH 44:1–14; 1 CORINTHIANS 15:30–41 infant and child, from the midst of Judah, leaving you no remnant? Why do you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have come to live, that you may be cut off and become a curse and a taunt among all the nations of the earth? Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, the wickedness of the kings of Judah, the wickedness of their wives, your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? They have not humbled themselves even to this day, nor have they feared, nor walked in my law and my statutes which I set before you and before your fathers.

  • Jeremiah Chapter 44
    Jeremiah Chapter 44 Jeremiah 44:1 "The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying," “The word that came”: The unrelenting iniquity of the Jews called for yet another prophecy of judgment on them in Egypt. “Migdol” may be identified with the Magdali mentioned in the Amarna Tablets of ancient Egypt. “Noph” is a variant of Moph, the Hebrew name of Memphis, the foremost city of lower (or northern), “Egypt”. “Pathros” was a general designation of upper (or southern), Egypt. The Jews apparently dispersed throughout Egypt quickly. In the last lessons Jeremiah had warned them not to go to Egypt, or the wrath of God would descend upon them. We see they have defied the warnings and went to Egypt anyhow. The names above are just some of the cities in Egypt where they are living. I want to say one more time, Egypt is a type of the world. The message for Christians in this is to stay in the city of God. Do not go back into the world after you are saved. Verses 2-6: The prophet summarized what had occurred in Judah as a basis for what he predicted coming on the refugees in Egypt. Jeremiah 44:2 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they [are] a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein," In which manner, the prophecies of this book are frequently prefaced (see Jer.

  • What Did King Josiah Reform?
    Chapter 17 What Did King Josiah Reform? Margaret Barker King Josiah changed the religion of Israel in 623 BC. According to the Old Testament account in 2 Kings 23, he removed all manner of idolatrous items from the temple and purified his kingdom of Canaanite practices. Temple vessels made for Baal, Asherah, and the host of heaven were removed, idolatrous priests were deposed, the Asherah itself was taken from the temple and burned, and much more besides. An old law book had been discovered in the temple, and this had prompted the king to bring the religion of his kingdom into line with the requirements of that book (2 Kings 22:8–13; 2 Chronicles 34:14–20).1 There could be only one temple, it stated, and so all other places of sacrificial worship had to be destroyed (Deuteronomy 12:1–5). The law book is easily recognizable as Deuteronomy, and so King Josiah’s purge is usually known as the Deuteronomic reform of the temple. In 598 BC, twenty-five years after the work of Josiah, Jerusalem was attacked by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar (2 Kings 24:10– 16; 25:1–9); eleven years after the first attack, they returned to destroy the city and the temple (586 BC). Refugees fled south to Egypt, and we read in the book of Jeremiah how they would not accept the prophet’s interpretation of the disaster (Jeremiah 44:16–19). Jeremiah insisted that Jerusalem had fallen because of the sins of her people, but the refugees said it had fallen because of Josiah.

  • A Sermon on Jeremiah 45:5
    — ; SEllMOK UPON JEREMIAH XLV. 6, And seeJcest thou great things for thyself^ seek them not.—Jer. xlv. 5. Jeremiah's former prophecies were concerning whole nations or public persons, but this passage concerneth a private man—Baruch, the ]>rophet's scribe. What was the matter ? Jeremiah had used Baruch's help for writing in a book, or gathering together in one roll or volume, what God had prophesied concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, as you may see, Jer. xxxvi. After he had written it, he was to pronounce it in the hearing of the people in the house of God on the fast-day which he doth boldly. Some of the nobles being affected, carry the roll to the king Jechoniah, who was enraged at it, and burned the roll, and gave order to apprehend Jeremiah and Baruch ; but the Lord hid them. Now because contumacia accumulat posnam, God biddeth Jeremiah and Baruch write another roll, wherein were written the same things, and many more like words. But now he began to be discouraged, by considering what things were likely to befall him by the writing and publishing of this second roll. Seeing the storm arise, his heart faileth; and though before he acted valiantly, and seemed to stand out like an oak, yet now his heart shaketh like a leaf ; his complaint was bitter : ' The Lord hath added grief to my sorrow.' So his lamentation is ex- pressed, ver. 3. Upon this, the Lord telleth him he was about to pluck up all, to make desolate the Jewish state and people—as he himself knew, for he had written the roll—and should he be troubled for his own peace and safety, and desire to live at quiet and ease when all was going to wreck and ruin ? never dream of any such matter ; suffice it thee well that thou escapest with thy life.

  • Jeremiah Dr. R. Wade Paschal
    Jeremiah Dr. R. Wade Paschal Jeremiah, p. 2 Dr. Paschal takes us deep into the book of the prophet Jeremiah. One of the strengths of these lessons is the connections that are made throughout the Bible that both place Jeremiah in the Old Testament context, and also thematically as a whole. In the materials, you will find timelines, backgrounds, and cross-references that provide you the teacher a wealth of knowledge in which to teach from. There are more materials in each lesson, then you could possibly teach in a normal session, so you the teacher will have to make tough decisions on what to cut out in the materials. As with most teaching, one of the hardest decisions that you will make is what not to say or teach. Dr. Paschal also provides some questions that you can use to help people go deeper into the text. If you are looking for an orderly book, Jeremiah is not it, so the thematic based approach that Dr. Paschal uses is very helpful to understand the big concepts. Please familiarize yourself with the Historical overview in lesson one, which I found to be extremely helpful. Here is an overview of the lessons.

ETS: San Diego, 2007 “The Call for the Unfaithful Wife to Return: The Rhetoric of Prophetic Appeal in Jeremiah 2:1-4:4” Gary E. Yates, Ph.D. (Liberty Theological Seminary) Introduction Martin Luther observed that that the prophets “have a queer way of talking, like people who, instead of proceeding in an orderly manner, ramble off from one thing to the next, so that you cannot make head or tail of them or see what they are getting at.” One might be inclined to these sentiments when attempting to make sense of the composition and arrangement of Jeremiah 2:1-4:4, the opening block of prophetic messages in the book following the call narrative of chapter 1. Abma notes concerning this section: Jeremiah 2:1-4:4 is a complex text which switches from poetry to prose, from the past to the present, from one addressee to another and from one eloquent meta- phor to another in order to portray Israel’s conduct.
