  • The Babylonians Conquer Jerusalem
    Handout: Jeremiah Lesson 18 Chapter 37 takes place in 588 BC when Pharaoh Hophra (ruled from 589 to 569) sent an Egyptian army to come to Zedekiah’s aid against the Babylonians. Nebuchadnezzar temporarily lifted the first siege of Jerusalem to take his army to meet the advancing Egyptian threat. In this chapter, Zedekiah receives two short oracles confirming the return of the Babylonian army and the destruction of Jerusalem: • Oracle #1: The Egyptians marching to Judah’s aid will withdraw back to Egypt, and the Babylonians will return to attack and capture Jerusalem (verse 7). • Oracle #2: The destruction of Jerusalem is inevitable (verses 9-10). Chapter 38 has three oracles: • Oracle #1: Yahweh’s warning that those who stay in Jerusalem will die and His promise that those who surrender to the Babylonians will live (verse 2). • Oracle #2: Yahweh’s assurance that the Babylonians will capture Jerusalem (verse 3). • Oracle #3: Yahweh’s final oracle to King Zedekiah (verses 17-18). The first two oracles are a summary of Yahweh’s oracles to the people during the 35 years of Jeremiah’s ministry. In 38:17-18, Jeremiah repeats the oracles he gave in 38:2-3: • If the king surrenders to the Babylonians, He will save his life and the city. • If he does not, the city will be captured and burned and he will not escape. The Babylonians conquered Jerusalem on the 9th of Ab in 587 BC after an 18 month siege. Nebuchadnezzar ordered his general to send men to find Jeremiah: These dispatched men to take Jeremiah from the Court of the Guard and turned him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan for safe conduct home.

ETS, Atlanta 2010 “The Prophet Jeremiah as Theological Symbol in the Book of Jeremiah” Gary E. Yates, Ph.D. Introduction Timothy Polk has noted, “Nothing distinguishes the book of Jeremiah from earlier works of prophecy quite so much as the attention it devotes to the person of the prophet and the prominence it accords the prophetic ‘I’, and few things receive more scholarly comment.”1 More than simply providing a biographical or psychological portrait of the prophet, the book presents Jeremiah as a theological symbol who embodies in his person the word of Yahweh and the office of prophet. 2 In fact, the figure of Jeremiah is so central that a theology of the book of Jeremiah “cannot be formulated without taking into account the person of the prophet, as the book presents him.”3 The purpose of this study is to explore how Jeremiah the person functions as a theological symbol and what these motifs contribute to the overall theology of the book of Jeremiah.

You tore your clothing in despair and wept before me in repentance. And I have indeed heard you, says the LORD” (2 Kings 22:19, NLT). 2 Huldah: Prophet Of Wisdom Bible Background • 2 KINGS 22 Printed Text • 2 KINGS 22:14-20 | Devotional Reading • PSALM 25:1-10 Aim for Change By the end of this lesson, we will ANALYZE the prophetess Huldah’s message from God for King Josiah, REFLECT on Josiah’s behavior after hearing the words of the book of the law, and SEEK godly advice about their future. In Focus When Marta’s father-in-law moved in with her family, she knew it was going to be a change, but she certainly wasn’t expecting it to take the mental and physical toll on her that it did. She ended up moving her transcribing desk into the living room to keep an eye on him; he got anxious if he were left alone for more than fifteen minutes at a time.

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

Chapter 7 Israelite Inscriptions from the Time of Jeremiah and Lehi Dana M. Pike The greater the number of sources the better when investi- gating the history and culture of people in antiquity. Narrative and prophetic texts in the Bible and 1 Nephi have great value in helping us understand the milieu in which Jeremiah and Lehi received and fulfilled their prophetic missions, but these records are not our only documentary sources. A number of Israelite inscriptions dating to the period of 640–586 b.c., the general time of Jeremiah and Lehi, provide additional glimpses into this pivotal and primarily tragic period in Israelite history. The number of inscriptions discovered from ancient Israel and its immediate neighbors—Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia, and Phoenicia—pales in comparison to the bountiful harvest of texts from ancient Assyria, Babylonia, and Egypt.

  • 2 Kings and Chronicles
    2 Kings and Chronicles INFORMATION FOR SMALL GROUP LEADERS For information on 2 Kings see Small Group Discussion Guide for weeks 16 and 17. 1-2 Chronicles: The Hebrew title of the work, Dibre Hayyamim, is derived from 1 Chronicles 27:24 and may be translated “the events of the years” or “annals.” In the Septuagint (Greek translation), it is known as Paraleipomena or “the things omitted,” indicating that it was considered a supplement to the books of Samuel and Kings. The English title derives from a suggestion by Jerome, the translator of the Vulgate (a Latin translation), that a more suitable title would be “the chronicle of the whole sacred history.” Martin Luther adopted this proposal, titling his translation of the books Die Chronika, and versions ever since the Reformation have followed his practice. Theme The central theme of Chronicles is the significance of the Davidic covenant as the enduring basis of Israel’s life and hope. The Davidic covenant is expressed in the two institutions that derive directly from it: the monarchy and the temple. These institutions are mutually related (1 Chron. 17:10b–14), and together they represent God’s kingdom in Israel (2 Chron. 13:5, 8). The Davidic covenant does not replace the Mosaic covenant but builds on it for the new age of the monarchy and the temple. Further dimensions of the Davidic covenant are discussed below under Key Themes. Purpose, Occasion, and Background The Babylonian campaign against Judah, which began in 605 B.C. under Nebuchadnezzar, climaxed in the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple in 586 and the deportation of many of its leading people to settlements near Babylon.
