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.

Fact Sheet for “Warnings Fulfilled, Exactly” Jeremiah 46-51 Pastor Bob Singer 03/10/2019
Fact Sheet for “Warnings Fulfilled, Exactly” Jeremiah 46-51 Pastor Bob Singer 03/10/2019 We have come to 6 chapters, 231 verses, detailing the destruction of peoples and nations. This has been a long time coming. There have been lifetimes of warning from God that went unheeded. Now, God would soon fulfill His warning, and it would all came down quickly. These chapters are set in the future tense, but these events would take place in their very near future. We have the luxury of seeing these events after the fact. And what we see is that they all came about, every one of them, exactly as God predicted. There are several themes that run through these chapters. Each of them has a poignant message for us and what is happening in our world today. 1 – It is the God of the Bible who is really pulling the strings on nations and peoples. 2 – The various gods that people worship are nothing. 3 – God remains faithful to His people even though He may punish them. 4 – God graciously restored some of those nations, while he made others a permanent desolation, right down to this day. 5 – Only God can tell the future with 100% accuracy. Egypt (Jeremiah 46) Read Jeremiah 46:25-27. Philistines (Jeremiah 47) 47:6 Ah, sword of the LORD! How long till you are quiet? Put yourself into your scabbard; rest and be still! 7 How can it be quiet when the LORD has given it a charge? Against Ashkelon and against the seashore he has appointed it." Moab (Jeremiah 48) 48:6 Flee! Save yourselves! You will be like a juniper in the desert! 7 For, because you trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken; and Chemosh shall go into exile with his priests and his officials.

A Commentary on the Book of Ezekiel by Pastor Galen L
A Commentary on the Book of Ezekiel By Pastor Galen L. Doughty Southside Christian Church December 2014 INTRODUCTION: This commentary is based upon my personal devotional notes and reflections on the Book of Ezekiel. It is intended to help you better understand some of the background and issues in Ezekiel’s prophecy. It is not a technical commentary designed for academic projects. This material is intended for use by members and friends of Southside Christian Church, especially our Life Group leaders to help you lead your group in a verse by verse study of Ezekiel. However, I do not include discussion questions in the commentary. That I leave up to you as a group leader. In the commentary there are occasional references to the original Hebrew words Ezekiel used in a particular passage. Those Hebrew words are always quoted in italics and are transliterated into English from the Hebrew. I go chapter by chapter in the commentary and sometimes individual verses are commented upon, sometimes it is several sentences and sometimes a whole paragraph. This commentary is based on the New International Version and all Scripture quotations are taken from that version of the Bible. Books of the Bible, Scripture references and quotes are also italicized. KEY HISTORICAL DATES IN THE TIMELINE OF EZEKIEL: King Jehoiachim of Judah becomes a Babylonian vassal, 605. Jehoiachim rebels against Nebuchadnezzar; he sends troops to raid and punish Jehoiachim, 602. Nebuchadnezzar deports some Jews to Babylon from Jerusalem including a young man named Daniel, 602. Jehoiachim dies and is replaced by his son Jehoiachin; he reigns three months, 598.

Jeremiah Chapter 49
Jeremiah Chapter 49 Verses 1-6: “Concerning the Ammonites” (compare Ezek. 25:1-7; Amos 1:13-15; Zeph. 2:8-11). These people descended from Lot (compare Gen. 19:38), and lived north of Moab. Though Israel had people who were heirs to Transjordan, i.e., Gad, Reuben, and one half of Manasseh (compare Joshua 22:1-9). The Ammonites, whose god was Milcham or Molech, were chided for having usurped the area (verse 1), when the northern kingdom was taken captive by Shalmaneser. The Ammonites were descendants of Lot, who lived to the east of the Jordan River (Gen. 19:38). They had sent delegates to Jerusalem (in 593 B.C.; 27:3), as part of a coalition against Babylon. Jeremiah’s oracles against the nations would remind Judah that these alliances were doomed to failure. Jeremiah 49:1 "Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why [then] doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?" The history of this people was, to a great extent, parallel with that of the Moabites. They had been conquered by Sihon, the great Amorite king, and when that monarch was, in his turn, conquered by the Israelites (Num. 21:21-31). Their territory was assigned to the tribes of Gad and Reuben (Num. 32:34-38). (In Judges 11:12-33), we have the record of an unsuccessful attempt to recover their lost territory, and like attempts appear to have been made by Nahash (1 Sam. 11:1-11), and Hanun (2 Sam.

Obadiah Jeremiah 49 Obadiah and Jeremiah 49 Compared
OBADIAH AND JEREMIAH 49 COMPARED Notice the similarities between Obadiah and Jeremiah chapter 49. Some have supposed that Obadiah 'borrowed' from Jeremiah, or perhaps Jeremiah 'borrowed' from Obadiah. All Scripture is God-breathed (2Tm.3:16). God inspired every word! None of Scripture is of any private interpretation (2Pe.1:20). The same Holy Spirit that gave Jeremiah the words to write, gave Obadiah the words to write as well. This comparison may be helpful in dating the book of Obadiah. If these two books are referring to the same time period, then Obadiah would be a contemporary of Jeremiah, and so is writing concerning the Babylonian conquest of Judah in 586 BC. Obadiah writes as if the event has already taken place. Jeremiah writes prophesying what will happen in the near future. This is why an early date for Obadiah (848-841BC) is preferred. OBADIAH JEREMIAH 49 “The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning “I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise her, and rise up to the bale.” (Je.49:14) up against her in bale.” (Ob.1:1) “Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art “For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised greatly despised.” (Ob.1:2) among men.” (Je.49:15) “³The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest “Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine

Abram the One from Beyond-The-River, and King Chedorlaomer of Elam (Genesis 14): Persia and the Formation of Judaean Ethnic Identity in a Late Patriarchal Narrative
religions Article Abram the One from Beyond-the-River, and King Chedorlaomer of Elam (Genesis 14): Persia and the Formation of Judaean Ethnic Identity in a Late Patriarchal Narrative Gard Granerød Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Department, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion and Society, P.O. Box 5144 Majorstuen, N-0302 Oslo, Norway; [email protected] Abstract: The perception of Persia in Judaean/Jewish texts from antiquity contributed to the con- struction of a Judaean/Jewish identity. Genesis 14 gives an example of this; in it, Abra(ha)m wages war with a coalition headed by King Chedorlaomer of Elam. The article argues that Genesis 14 is one of the latest additions to the patriarchal narratives (Genesis 12–36), composed in the Persian or early Hellenistic period. It was conceived and used as an ethnic identity-forming story. The characters in the narrative represented groups and nations in the neighbourhood of the province of Judah. Abra(ha)m was perceived as the ancestor of the Judaeans and the inhabitants of the province Beyond-the-River. The King of Elam represented the Persian Empire. The article uses redaction criticism to argue that Genesis 14 is among the latest additions to the patriarchal narrative in the late Persian or Hellenistic period. Moreover, it uses a combination of philological and historical methods to argue that the description of Abra(ha)m as ha¯ ( ibrî (traditionally translated “the Hebrew,” Citation: Granerød, Gard. 2021. Gen 14: 13) characterises him as a person from the region Eber-nari¯ (Beyond-the-River). The arti- Abram the One from Beyond-the-River, cle uses similar methods to argue that the names of people and places in Genesis 14 referred to and King Chedorlaomer of Elam political entities in and around Judah.

Jeremiah 49:1-22 – 14 September 2014 Talked Last Time About the Reasons for Learning About the Nations That Surround Israel
Jeremiah 49:1-22 – 14 September 2014 Talked last time about the reasons for learning about the nations that surround Israel. 1) We learn from their sins how better to honor God. a. We learn personally b. King Hiram helping David 2) Old Testament stories about Israel and the events will fit together & make more sense. a. Old Testament makes more sense b. Shem, Ham and Japheth 3) End times prophecy will be a lot easier to understand. a. Eschatology comes clear b. Moab is told, “Let my outcast dwell with thee”. Today we’re going to be enabled to understand 2 of the nations surrounding Israel in chapter 49. Chapter 49:1-6 – Ammonites Background o Descendants of Lot’s son Ben-ammi. o Israel constantly struggled with them for the fertile region of Gilead within the tribe of Gad. Vs 1 – Now during the time of Judah’s captivity in Babylon, Ammonites are expanding into the tribal area of Gad again. o God says, “so long as Israel exists, they should be the inhabitants here.” o King David was constantly beating back the Ammonites. This is the war that was happening when David committed his sin with Bathsheba in II Sam 10-11 Vs 2 – Now past their Zenith, during this time, and the Greek period to come, the Ammonites are reduced to just a city, not a nation. o Rabbath is modern Amman, Jordan. Vs 3-4 – Here’s a hint at the sin of the Ammonites, their pride in trusting the valleys and treasures for wealth and provision.
