Jeremiah 46-Ezekiel 11 Jeremiah 46-Ezekiel 11: August 10: Jeremiah 46-48 1. Chapter 46 begins a section of judgments against the nations. What’s God’s message to Israel in this judgment (46:27-28)? 2. These chapters all predict horrific judgment against the nations. How would you respond to someone who claimed that such violence and judgment is immoral? Can God really be considered good when He unleashes so much death and destruction on innocent people? 3. Why is Moab judged? See 48:7, 26, 29, 42. Who brings the judgment, v. 44? August 11: Jeremiah 49-52 1. These chapters conclude the section on the judgment of the nations. In the midst of it, what promises does God make to His people in 50:20? 2. Against what nation does God announce judgment in chapter 51? Why would this be significant in light of Jeremiah’s overall message? Introduction to Lamentations: Author/Date: The book of Lamentations was written by the prophet Jeremiah, right around the time of Jerusalem’s destruction in 586 B.C. Jeremiah is known as the “weeping prophet,” for good reason, as this book shows. The city fell in July of the year 586, with the temple being destroyed a month later. Jeremiah would have watched as the Babylonians systematically destroyed the city, including the gates, walls, and the temple. Background: The events recorded in the book are quite jarring and graphic. It must be remembered, however, that Jerusalem’s destruction came after centuries of prophetic warning. Indeed, through Moses, God had promised judgment on His people if they broke covenant with Him (Deuteronomy 28-29). For Jeremiah personally, he had been warning of the coming judgment for forty years by the time it arrived. The nation had rejected numerous opportunities to repent. Themes: As the name suggests, the book is a series of laments for Judah’s calamity. The major theological theme is the reality of God’s judgment on sin. Throughout the book, God is seen as the Agent behind Judah’s judgment. He is a holy God who takes sin seriously. Yet, in the midst of this, the prophet finds hope in God’s compassion and covenant mercy (3:22-25). Structure: Each chapter of the book is a lament. The first four chapters are acrostic poems, with each line beginning with the next letter in the Hebrew alphabet. The third chapter devotes three verses to each letter of the alphabet, hence its 66 verses (there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet). This form my indicate completeness, i.e. that the author has exhausted his subject from A to Z. The final lament abandons the acrostic structure, ending the book with an open- ended question, “Will you utterly reject us?” August 12: Lamentations 1-3 1. Who brought about the suffering and why, according to 1:5, 12? What does Jeremiah affirm about God’s character in 1:18? 2. How had Judah’s false prophets performed a massive disservice for the people in 2:14? 3. In the midst of the hopeless devastation of Jerusalem’s ruins, what give Jeremiah hope in 3:21-24? What “good” does he see in 3:25-27? August 13: Lamentation 4-5 1. Chapter 4 is a graphic description of Jerusalem’s suffering during the siege. What do you find the most shocking in this chapter? How do you reconcile the horrific images of this chapter with the benevolence and kindness of God? 2. What is Jeremiah’s prayer in 5:19-22? Does he expect God to restore the people? Why or why not? Introduction to Ezekiel: Author/Date: Ezekiel was a prophet living in Babylon during the final days of Judah’s independence. His name means “strengthened by God,” an appropriate name for him, given the strength he would need to preach his difficult message (3:8,9). He was from the priestly family, perhaps explaining his focus on the temple and its ministry (especially chapters 40-48). His ministry stretched for 593-571 B.C., during the time of Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon. Before the final destruction of the city in 586 B.C., there had been several deportations from the land: one in 605 B.C. and another in 597 B.C. It was during during one of these deportations that Ezekiel (and Daniel and his friends, see 14:14, 20) had been taken to Babylon. While he ministered to the exiles in Babylon, Jeremiah ministered to those still in Jerusalem. Ezekiel received his call to ministry in his thirtieth year, the time at which priests began their ministry (1:1). He dates this call at the fifth year of Jehoiachin’s captivity, making this 592 or 593 B.C. Background: During Ezekiel’s day, Israel was right in the middle of a power struggle between the Egyptian Empire and the Babylonian Empire. The Babylonians had conquered the Assyrians and then defeated the Egyptians in 605 B.C. At this time, the Babylonians exiled many of the Jews, before returning 598-7 to take the city of Jerusalem, sending a second wave of exiles to Babylon. Judah was reduced to being a province at this point, retaining an appointed king and the temple. Jews living in Babylon during this time held out the false hope that they would quickly return home, a hope that false prophets were all too willing to stoke. Ezekiel had the unpleasant task to declaring that Jerusalem would be destroyed and that God’s judgment would come quickly. After the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C., Ezekiel’s ministry focused on the promised restoration. Themes: Ezekiel has a strong focus on God’s glory and majesty. He is granted a vision of God’s glory in chapter 1 prior to his call. Throughout the book, God announces judgment, with the phrase “and they shall know that I am the LORD” being repeated almost 70 times. God’s aim in judging Israel is revelatory: He aims to reveal His glorious holiness and righteous justice against sin. But the phrase is not used only in connection with judgment: it is repeated with the restorations messages as well. In both judgment and salvation, God’s purpose is His glory. Outline: I. Judgment (1-33). A. Judgment on Judah (1-24) 1. Ezekiel’s Call (1-3). 2. Signs of Jerusalem’s Fall (4-5). 3. Sermons of Destruction (6-7). 4. The removal of God’s glory from Jerusalem (8-11). 5. Messages of judgment (12-14). 6. Parables of judgment (15-24). B. Judgment on the Nations (25-32). C. Ezekiel’s Call Renewed (33) II. Restoration (34-48). A. A restored nation (34-39). B. A restored temple (40-48). 1. The temple itself (40-42). 2. The temple worship (43-46) 3. The land (47-48) August 14: Ezekiel 1-3 1. What’s your reaction to Ezekiel’s vision? What is he seeing, according to 1:28? Why do you think he uses so many metaphors (“like” “as”) in describing it? How does he respond? 2. Chapters 2-3 describe Ezekiel’s commissioning as a prophet. He’s sent as a missionary to his own people (3:5-6). What’s his ministry compared to in 3:17-18? August 15: Ezekiel 4-7 1. Ezekiel is ministering to Jewish exiles in Babylon before the city of Jerusalem finally fell (there had been earlier deportations). They held on to the false hope that the city would survive and they would return home. In light of this, what’s the meaning of Ezekiel’s unusual actions in chapter 4? What’s he portraying? 2. Chapters 6-7 form a sermon of judgment. What sin is primarily addressed? What’s the aim and outcome of the judgment (6:7, 10, 13, 14; 7:4, 9, 27)? August 16: Ezekiel 8-11 1. These four chapters describe a vision of Judah’s sin and the subsequent departure of God’s presence. In chapter 8, God reveals the idolatries and abominations occurring within the temple itself. What wrong belief about God underlies secret sin (8:12)? 2. Ch. 9-11 describe the progressive removal of God’s glory from the temple (9:3; 10:4, 18; 11:22-23). Why does God’s presence leave the temple? 3. What promises does God make in 11:19-20? How are these promises fulfilled? .

  • 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.

  • Jeremiah 46-1-28
    Jeremiah’s Prophecies To The Nations Jeremiah 46:1-28 Introduction In the opening chapter the Lord spoke to Jeremiah and said, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; and I ordained you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:6). In these final chapters (46-51) the Lord prophesies about the future of foreign nations. Jeremiah’s ministry has stretched out 40 years. What value is there in examining the prophecies to these ancient nations that surrounded Israel and Judah? God is in charge. God is sovereign. God is the God of the nations. God raises up one nation and lays down the other. Over and over again we read in God’s Word about His plans and His purposes. Over and over we read God says “I will” or “I will not”. Does God order the course of nations? Is God really controlling everything? Egypt’s Two Prophecies A.T. Pierson used to say “history is His story”. God judged Egypt in the past when he delivered the children of Israel from bondage. Now we are given another glimpse of Egypt’s future in the famous battle of Carchemish and the invasion of Egypt. The Lord has a message for Egypt. The Lord has determined to judge Egypt for pride, brutality and idolatry (see The Preacher’s Outline and Sermon Bible p. 159). What can we learn from these ancient prophecies? If God judged the nations in the past for pride, brutality and idolatry--doesn’t it make sense He will do so in the future? Pride and violence invite judgment.

  • Jeremiah 46:1 TRIGGER for the LAST DAYS JUDGMENT of NATIONS
    mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com Jeremiah 46:1 TRIGGER FOR THE LAST DAYS JUDGMENT OF NATIONS 2014, Aug. 13 NEWS Mark this carefully: the Yazedis, who are being rescued from Mount Sinjar in Iraq by Kurds as we speak, are accused by Arabs of worshiping Lucifer. The Yazedis themselves call Lucifer the 'Peacock Angel'. They say they don't worship him, but they also say Adam did well to follow his advice and leave the garden. Everyone agrees the Yazedi belief is very ancient, at least 6,000 years old. Some say they are Zoroastrian, but Yazedis won't comment. BIBLE COMMENTARY Jeremiah chapter 46 is the 791st book in the Bible. 791 = 7 x 113. The number 7 means 'Time' (7) or 'The End' (7) and 113 means 'The Rapture' (113). The contents of this chapter relate to the Time (7) of the Rapture (113). As we will see, the prophetic events happening before our eyes and described in Jeremiah chapter 46 place us in history right before the rapture! Verse 1 of chapter 46 says: 'This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.' (46:1) The gematria, or numerical value of the letters of verse 1, is 1287 = 9 x 143 = 33 x 39. This tells us the core hidden message in verse 1 is: 'Judgement' (9) of 'Factions' (143) and it can also be interpreted 'Holy Mystery' (33) of 'Disease' (39). God is laying down why judgment is coming on this world. The reason may shock you. The factions among Christians - denominations – is the main cause of the disasters to come.

  • 1 the GLORY of GOD REVEALED to CAPTIVES Ezekiel 1:1 Now It
    THE GLORY OF GOD REVEALED TO CAPTIVES Ezekiel 1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. The children of Israel were captives in exile in Babylon. The glory of God had left the Temple in Jerusalem which was destroyed because of the sins of the people. They sat by the rivers of Babylon, remembered the beautiful Temple of God in Zion, and wept. They even sang of this profound loss in the Book of Psalms. Psalm 137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. Psalm 137:2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. Psalm 137:3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. Psalm 137:4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land? Psalm 137:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. But now, suddenly, this majestic glory of God comes to Babylon, to the captives who thought God had abandoned them. The heavens were opened in Babylon and the glory of God was revealed to one of the captives, Ezekiel. You may be a captive of some sin that appears to have taken you hostage in some land far away from the presence and glory of God, but, as Ezekiel discovered, God does not abandon his people; his glory will make its way to his captives wherever they are.

  • Josiah's Bid for Armageddon the Background of the Judean-Egyptian Encounter in 609 B.C
    Josiah's Bid for Armageddon The Background of the Judean-Egyptian Encounter in 609 B.C. ABRAHAM MALAMAT Hebrew University, Jerusalem In attempting to clarify the historical background of the clash between Judah and Egypt at Megiddo in the summer of 609 B. C., we are faced with a double dilemma: historically and militarily, we must ask who held Megiddo at this time. Did Josiah, king of Judah, seek here to block the Egyptian advance to the north? Or did Megiddo already serve as an Egyptian base? And then, there is the archaeological quandary concerning Stratum II at Megiddo, generally ascribed to the second half of the seventh century B. C. Was the massive building discovered in this stratum an Israelite fortress built by Josiah, as often thought, or should it be regarded as Egyptian, whether actually built by Egyptians or merely appropriated? In my recent studies on this period, I have noted the latter possibility, and have assumed that Josiah's move was intended, inter alia, against the center of the former Assyrian province of Magiddu which, in the meantime, had most likely been taken over by the Egyptians, recently acquired allies of Assyria.1 The lack of clear-cut data, however, leaves any prefer­ ence between the above alternatives in the realm of conjecture. I. Megiddo Stratum II-Israelite or Egyptian? Let us first review the archaeological evidence from Megiddo Strata III-II (see plan).2 It is almost unanimously agreed today that Megiddo Stratum III represents the seat of the Assyrian province founded after the annexation of the norther parts of the kingdom of Israel 1 See A.

Nehemiah ben Shlomo ha-Navi’ MOSHE IDEL O WING TO RECENT STUDIES on Haside Ashkenaz, especially by Jo- seph Dan, and the publication of some of the Ashkenazi material from manuscripts, we have a better picture of the literature produced from the early decades of the thirteenth century.1 Of paramount importance to this literature is the distinction Dan drew between different schools emerging out of the Ashkenazi masters. He proposed to distinguish between the main line represented by the writings of the Kalonymite school of R. Yehudah he-Hasid and R. Eleazar of Worms, on the one hand, and the school, which he described as the ‘‘school of the special cherub,’’ on the other.2 In addition, he drew attention to, and eventually printed and ana- lyzed, material that did not belong to either of the two schools and is found in anonymous manuscripts.3 More recently, in an innovative article dealing with the occurrence of the syntagm ‘‘Yeshu‘a Sar ha-panim,’’ Yehudah Liebes has noted dispa- rate anonymous writings found mostly in manuscripts, which belong to an Ashkenazi school, that he called the ‘‘circle of Sefer ha-h. eshek.’’4 He 1.

  • Ezekiel 1 9/7/14 Ezekiel 1
    1 Ted Kirnbauer Ezekiel 1 9/7/14 Ezekiel 1 We are living in times that are declining, but we are not the first to find ourselves in this condition. Almost six hundred years before Christ, Ezekiel lived in times that were remarkable for their declension on just about every level. 2 Chronicles 36:11-16 states the condition of the nation of Israel at the time: 11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. 12 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke the word of the LORD. 13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take an oath in God's name. He became stiff-necked and hardened his heart and would not turn to the LORD, the God of Israel. 14 Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people became more and more unfaithful, following all the detestable practices of the nations and defiling the temple of the LORD, which he had consecrated in Jerusalem. 15 The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to them through his messengers again and again, because he had pity on his people and on his dwelling place. 16 But they mocked God's messengers, despised his words and scoffed at his prophets until the wrath of the LORD was aroused against his people and there was no remedy. Ezekiel and Jeremiah were contemporaries. Ezekiel was of the priestly line of Levi, but before he could serve as a priest, he along with King Jehoiachin, the upper classes, and many of the leading priests and craftsmen was taken into exile into Babylon, seven hundred miles north of Israel.

    Ezekiel Chapter 10 Ezekiel 10:1 "Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne." This is Ezekiel speaking. This chapter is a continuation of the vision that Ezekiel had in the last chapter. It is as if one stage is coming into his view at a time. God shows him one setting, and then another. The sapphire, here, is a blue stone, speaking of the heavenlies. Then, this is a vision of the throne in heaven. The throne is like a sapphire shining forth representing God’s Glory and Holiness. Ezekiel 10:2 "And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went in in my sight." “Fill with coals”: John MacArthur calls this vision with the cherubim and wheels God’s war machine. God specifies that the marking angel reach into the war machine and fill his hands with fiery coals in the presence of the angels (of chapter 1). These coals picture the fires of judgment which God’s angels are to “scatter” on Jerusalem. (In Isaiah 6), coals were used for the purification of the prophet; here they were for the destruction of the wicked. Fire did destroy Jerusalem (in 586 B.C.). Ezekiel 10:3 "Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court." "The cloud filled the inner court" is speaking of the Shekinah glory of God which filled the court.
