    MINISTRY The Suffering of the Prophet Jeremiah Drs. H. Lalleman-de Winkel graduated from Utrecht State University, taking Old Testament as her main subject.

In our western world with its Biographical Sections. material prosperity we can get almost everything we want. Even In those parts of the book which tell of Jeremiah' s life, what we if not all are rich, generally speaking we have more than we really read in the story of his call is developed: his message ofjudgment need. Yet even in our modern world money cannot buy freedom is not accepted with enthusiasm; indeed the story has been called from sorrow and suffering. So many books are written on this a 'passion narrative'. Let us consider some of these reports which theme nowadays, (for instance the book by Harold S. Kushner relate to Jeremiah's suffering. When bad things happen to good people•), along with books about: how to be healthy, successful in business, etc. Suffering Jeremiah 20: 1-2 describes how Jeremiah is captured by the chief does not agree with our success, and so it hardly figures in our officer in the temple, Pashhur; he is considered a disturber of the thinking. The book of Jeremiah offers one model of suffering. peace (cf. 29:26, apparently this happened more often). People Even if the suffering of Jeremiah has certain specific meanings take offence at his message of judgment, he is beaten and put in which do not apply to suffering in general, some analogies with a kind of straitjacket.

His preaching became extremely polarizing. These political factions could be categorized along a spectrum of support and hatred toward the prophet. Jeremiah’s imprisonment (Jeremiah 38) illustrates some of the various attitudes toward God’s emissary. This scene also demonstrates the political climate and spiritual atmosphere of Jerusalem at the verge of its collapse into the Babylonian exile and also gives insights into the beginning narrative of the Book of Mormon.

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

This champion developed a followinG because it had never lost a race. In and around the tracks of Europe and ultimately in the United States , one particular fan ran to the paper reGularly to see the speed that this greyhound racinG doG would run. This fan finally saw in the paper that the DoG’s owner was bringing this doG from Europe to the U.S. to race. The race was 4 states over therefore this fan saved his money, packed up his car and decided to drive 4 states over to witness in person this champion greyhound racinG doG.

    THRU THE BIBLE EXPOSITION Jeremiah: Prophet Of Judgment Followed By Blessing Part XLI: The Great Value Of Jeremiah's Personal Struggle With His Persecutions (Jeremiah 20:7-18) I. Introduction A. Though Jeremiah rightly handled being persecuted by the chief officer of the temple, Pashhur, at the time the persecution occurred, later in private, the incident bothered him, creating a struggle of faith in Jeremiah. B. We view that struggle in Jeremiah 20:7-18 in light of its context in the rest of Scripture for edifying insight: II. The Great Value Of Jeremiah's Personal Struggle With His Persecutions, Jeremiah 20:7-18. A. Jeremiah initially privately complained to the Lord about the persecutions he had faced, Jeremiah 20:7-10: 1. After interacting with Pashhur, Jeremiah privately complained to the Lord that God had deceived him in letting him be ridiculed by Pashhur and the people for his message, Jer. 20:7a; Bible Know. Com., O. T., p. 1154. Jeremiah had known from the beginning that all his hearers would oppose him (Jer. 1:18-19a), but he was not aware that they would ridicule him, what was especially horrible for Jeremiah to face! 2. Jeremiah added that whenever he spoke, he cried out, proclaiming violence and destruction, but speaking this message of the Lord had only brought him insult and reproach all day long, Jeremiah 20:7b-8. 3. Discouraged by it all, Jeremiah considered not mentioning the Lord or speaking of His name again. However, trying to do that only created an intolerable tension as the Word of God within was like a fire shut up in Jeremiah's bones to where he would be weary of holding it in, so he would speak it, Jer.
