She wrote a thesis on Medical Metaphors in the Book of Jeremiah, and ·continues research on that book. We live in a remarkable time. 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.

  • THRU the BIBLE EXPOSITION Jeremiah
    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.

  • Jeremiah “A Dying Nation”
    Jeremiah “A Dying Nation” I. Introduction to Jeremiah the Book Jeremiah is the 24th book of the Old Testament and the second of the Major Prophets. .Jeremiah has 52 chapters, and by word count is the longest of the prophetic books. It chronologically follows the book of Isaiah. Isaiah watched the fall of Israel to Assyria and prophesied of a better day when Messiah would suffer for the sins of man, and ultimately reign supreme. Jeremiah watched as Judah fell to Babylon and prophesied of a remnant returning to Israel after seventy years of captivity. This captivity was both punitive and corrective. During the captivity, Israel would be cured of its idolatry and the way would be paved for the coming Messiah. Jeremiah’s prophesies follow approximately sixty to eighty years after Isaiah and during the reigns of Josiah, Jehoiakim and Zedediah. Jeremiah is best understood when seen in light of 2 Kings 22-25 and 2 Chronicles 34-36. At sixteen years of age, young King Josiah began to seek the Lord and by age twenty, he purged Judah and Jerusalem of altars, images and high places. At twenty-six he began a Temple restoration project to restore worship of YHWH and insight revival in the people. It was during this time Hilkiah found a copy of the law of God. When it was read to King Josiah, he repented of personal sin and called the nation to turn to the Lord. Thousands, in Israel devoted themselves to the Lord. This would be the final revival in Israel’s history.

  • From Karen Meikle Defining Moments Sojourner
    From Karen Meikle Defining Moments Sojourner It would seem that names are important to God! Today we generally name our children a name we simply like, or perhaps after a particularly beloved family member. However, in the Bible people are often named because of something distinct about their character, identity, or mission. Not only that, but God seems to find it important in certain instances to change the person's name to reflect an event that has happened and how that event will shape their future. Abram (exalted father) becomes Abraham because this new name reflects God's covenant with him, as it means “father of many nations.” Even people who would seem insignificant in the Biblical story have their names changed by God. In Jeremiah 20 we met Pashur, a priest who did not like the message of disaster that Jeremiah (meaning, “Yahweh will raise”) was bringing to the people. His response was to beat up Jeremiah and place him in the stocks. Upon his release, Jeremiah said to him: “The LORD's name for you is not Pashur, but Terror on Every Side” (Jeremiah 20:3). Not a name that rolls off the tongue, but perhaps appropriate for a couple of kids that I know! If names are important to God, then how does God refer to himself? There are two main ways that our translations refer to God: God and LORD. God is a translation of the word Elohim. And LORD is the way that the English translators chose to translate the word, Yahweh, originally YHWH in the Hebrew.

  • Jerome's Reading of Jeremiah 20:7-18

Igor Pohl Baumann1 ABSTRACT This essay is a study of how Jerome reads Jeremiah (Jer) 20:7-18. It presents the exegetical practice of Jerome within his Christian theological frame of reference and examines how he approaches a difficult text of the Old Testament (OT) as Christian Scripture. This essay is in five parts. The first briefly introduces the reader to Jer 20:7-18, sets the context for the importance of hearing premodern interpreters in contemporary biblical and theological scholarship, and presents a caveat to the reader with methodological issues. The second part focuses briefly on situating Jerome as a reader of Scripture within the general patristic exegesis, its interfaces between literal and allegorical modes of reading Scripture and how Jerome receives and modifies 1 Igor Pohl Baumann é doutorando em Teologia e Religião pela Universidade de Durham no Reino Unido (bolsista da CAPES).
