    The Imprisonment of Jeremiah in Its Historical Context kevin l. tolley Kevin L. Tolley ([email protected]) is the coordinator of Seminaries and Institutes of Religion in Fullerton, California. he book of Jeremiah describes the turbulent times in Jerusalem prior to Tthe Babylonian conquest of the city. Warring political factions bickered within the city while a looming enemy rapidly approached. Amid this com- . (wikicommons). plex political arena, Jeremiah arose as a divine spokesman. 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • The Egyptian View of Abraham
    chapter 4 The Egyptian View of Abraham When Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem in 587 BC, many Jews fled into Egypt (Jeremiah 43). Other Jews settled in Egypt in the following years. Some assimilated into the surrounding culture, but not all did; a sufficient number retained their faith and established Jewish temples in Elephantine during the Persian Period (525–332 BC) and in Leontopolis during the Ptolemaic Period (332–32 BC). Jewish settlements existed in Elephantine, Edfu, Thebes, Hermop- olis Magna, Oxyrhynchos, Arsinoe (Krokodilopolis), Syron Kome, Alexandrou Nesos, Samaria (Kome), Chanaanain, Trikoma, Teb- tynis, Herakleopolis, Tebetnoi, Memphis, Demerdash, Leontopolis, Shedia, Xenephyris, Nitriai, Tanis, Pelusium, Athribis, and Alexan- dria. The Jews brought some of their texts with them; for example, the earliest manuscript of any of the Psalms is a fifth-century BC text written in demotic script and found at Elephantine. The biblical story of Abraham appears in Egypt by at least the third century BC, when the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek 49 50 introduction to the book of abraham the egyptian view of abraham 51 during the reign of Ptolemy II. This translation is known as the Sep- tuagint. Egyptian manuscripts of the Septuagint telling the biblical story of Abraham date as early as the first century BC. Nonbiblical stories about Abraham circulated in Egypt even ear- lier. During the reign of Ptolemy I, Hecateus of Abdera traveled to Thebes and learned stories about Abraham from Egyptian priests; he wrote these stories in a book called On Abraham and the Egyptians. This work is now unfortunately lost, but Clement of Alexandria, a second-century AD Egyptian Christian, quoted a short passage from it in which the worship of idols is condemned.

  • 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.
