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.

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

  • Josephus's Portrayal of Jeremiah: a Portrait and a Self-Portrait
    Josephus's Portrayal of Jeremiah: A Portrait and a Self-Portrait David Rolph Seely, Jo Ann H. Seely Authors of history leave indelible footprints in their works. Many clues can be found in any historical work of how a historian’s individual worldview shades and colors his or her narrative. Some ancient historians include an account of their own life in their work, selecting and shaping the evidence they choose to present in a carefully contrived self-portrait. A sensitive reader can discover many clues about the author through a careful reading of his work. One of the most fascinating ancient writers is the Jewish historian Josephus, whose works have preserved a wealth of information both about the biblical world that preceded him and his own life and times. Josephus wrote four works that have survived: Antiquities, which is a retelling of biblical history from Adam and Eve to the time of the Jewish war against Rome; Jewish War, an account of the disastrous Jewish revolt against Rome that resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70; Life, an autobiography; and a short tractate called Against Apion, which is a defense of Judaism in light of false propaganda being spread by a certain Apion. At the beginning of his Antiquities, Josephus explains that his narrative will be a complete retelling of the scriptural record: The precise details of our Scripture records will, then, be set forth, each in its place, as my narrative proceeds, that being the procedure that I have promised to follow throughout this work, neither adding nor omitting anything.

  • Jeremiah Dr. R. Wade Paschal
    Jeremiah Dr. R. Wade Paschal Jeremiah, p. 2 Dr. Paschal takes us deep into the book of the prophet Jeremiah. One of the strengths of these lessons is the connections that are made throughout the Bible that both place Jeremiah in the Old Testament context, and also thematically as a whole. In the materials, you will find timelines, backgrounds, and cross-references that provide you the teacher a wealth of knowledge in which to teach from. There are more materials in each lesson, then you could possibly teach in a normal session, so you the teacher will have to make tough decisions on what to cut out in the materials. As with most teaching, one of the hardest decisions that you will make is what not to say or teach. Dr. Paschal also provides some questions that you can use to help people go deeper into the text. If you are looking for an orderly book, Jeremiah is not it, so the thematic based approach that Dr. Paschal uses is very helpful to understand the big concepts. Please familiarize yourself with the Historical overview in lesson one, which I found to be extremely helpful. Here is an overview of the lessons. Lesson 1: The Life and Times of Jeremiah, Part One Lesson 2: The Life and Times of Jeremiah, Part Two Lesson 3: The Life and Times of Jeremiah, Part Three Lesson 4: The Prayers of Jeremiah Lesson 5: The Failure of Leadership Lesson 6: The Problem of Sin Lesson 7: The Return of Israel after 70 Years Lesson 8: Messiah and Future Salvation Jeremiah, p.

  • Lectionary First Reading Jeremiah 26:1-9,12-15
    Feast of St. Stephen January 1st 2017 Lectionary First Reading Jeremiah 26:1-9,12-15 At the beginning of the reign of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah, this word came from the Lord: Thus says the Lord: Stand in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah that come to wor- ship in the house of the Lord; speak to them all the words that I com- mand you; do not hold back a word. It may be that they will listen, all of them, and will turn from their evil way, that I may change my mind about the disaster that I intend to bring on them because of their evil do- ings. You shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law that I have set before you, and to heed the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you urgently—though you have not heeded— then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city a curse for all the nations of the earth. The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord. And when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the peo- ple, then the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold of him, saying, ‘You shall die! Why have you prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, “This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be des- olate, without inhabitant”?’ And all the people gathered around Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

  • 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.

  • Shredding Truth Scripture: Jeremiah 36:1-8, 21-23, 27-28
    Shredding Truth Scripture: Jeremiah 36:1-8, 21-23, 27-28; 31:31-34 Kevin Long Christ Presbyterian Church • November 22, 2020 I read Jeremiah with a sense of urgency. Jeremiah was a prophet in Judah around 600BC. Judah was the Southern Kingdom after its split with Israel, and it had escaped the fate of its northern neighbor, which was brutally conquered by the Assyrians. But all was not well. The Babylonian empire was on the rise, and nearby Egypt was powerful as well. Israel and Judah existed at a crossroad in the Ancient Near East, so when large geopolitical forces decided to expand their borders, their paths would often take them through that region. Jeremiah knew trouble was coming for Judah. God had told him as much. His prophesying had earned the ire of those in power in the past, but God’s message to repent still needed to be delivered. Jeremiah 36:1-8, 21-23, 27-28; 31:31-341 Chapter 36 In the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah and all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until today. 3 It may be that when the house of Judah hears of all the disasters 1 NRSV 1 that I intend to do to them, all of them may turn from their evil ways, so that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
