OT SERIES LESSON #201 – The Fall of Jerusalem Jeremiah 41-52 TO HELP US STUDY 1. Jer 42:7 How long after Jeremiah’s prayer did God wait to answer? 2. Where were the remnant of Judah told to go? What destination would lead to destruction? 3. Jer 44:4 What did God do again and again? 4. Who heard the prophesy of destruction in Jer 44? 5. To whom did they burn incense in Jer 44? 6. Who defeated whom in Jer 46? 7. What nations were marked for destruction in Jer 47-51? 8. What “gods” were debunked in 47-51? 9. Jer 50:4-7: The lost sheep wandered and forgot 10. Compare the number of exiles in Jer 52:30 to 2 Ki 24:14 – why might they be different? TO HELP US REMEMBER: Jeremiah 44:4-5a “Again and again I sent my servants the prophets, who said, ‘Do not do this detestable thing that I hate!’ But they did not listen or pay attention…” TEEN THOUGHT: The lost sheep wandered and forgot their own resting place, the Lord, their true pasture. Have you ever felt that way – wandering, alone, lost, restless, anxious? Isaiah 53 says we all have wandered from God like sheep, but Jesus is our Good Shepherd. And like Psalm 23, he can lead you to the still waters and green pastures. Trust in him, and rest in him, and have peace. TIPS FOR TEACHING – Some topics for potential study from the text: 1. Jerusalem plays a special role throughout the Bible – literally and symbolically – take a look. 2. The End of Act 2 – review the flow of Israel from captivity in Egypt to captivity in Babylon. 3. See Teen Thought FOR ADULT STUDY: Is 53:6; Psalm 23:1-6, 62:1-8, 91:1-16; John 10:1-16; Heb 13:20-21; 1 Pet 5:4; Rev 7:17; Is 40:11, 49:8-13; Mt 5:4, 11:28-30; Col 3:15; 2 Cor 1:3-5, 7:5-6; Gen 22:2, 14; 2 Chr 3:1; 1 Chr 21:14-22:1; Gen 14:18-20; Heb 7:2; 2 Sam 6:12-18; Heb 9:7-12; Rev 21:1-27.

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 412
1 graceWORKS ! GOING DEEPER The Papou Study Bible is a daily study provided by me to help folks explore the depth and joy of the “conneXion” life of God. It’s my personal study, and is not intended as a doctrinal statement or statement of any church or denomination or congregation. It’s also my belief that “grace” works, and the servant of God should always want to go deeper. Multi-tasking as usual, I’m also calling this the “Papou Study Bible.” I’m writing it as if I were speaking to my girls Paige, Stephanie, and Ashley, and any descendant they have (particularly Nicole, Joey, Matthew, Dylan, Julianne, and Lizzie, who know me as “Papou”). And to anyone who wants to consider me a spiritual Dad or “Papou.” I want them to be able to study the Bible with Papou (grandpa in Greek) after I’m gone---and if they don’t, I’ll haunt them. The Scriptures say it’s noble to “search the Scriptures daily” to verify truth like the ancient Bereans did (Acts 17:11). My folks came from Berea. My incredible Dad (and your grandfather and great grandfather, guys), Vasil Charles Valekis taught me to do this like he did---every day until I die. He taught me and everyone I know to go to church no matter what and to put God first. While Mama (Maria Pagona Stratakis Valekis) never really did this, she made sure we listened to Daddy on this one. She would have hit us with a spatula or frying pan or worse if we didn’t.

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.

Jeremiah Chapter 44
Jeremiah Chapter 44 Jeremiah 44:1 "The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying," “The word that came”: The unrelenting iniquity of the Jews called for yet another prophecy of judgment on them in Egypt. “Migdol” may be identified with the Magdali mentioned in the Amarna Tablets of ancient Egypt. “Noph” is a variant of Moph, the Hebrew name of Memphis, the foremost city of lower (or northern), “Egypt”. “Pathros” was a general designation of upper (or southern), Egypt. The Jews apparently dispersed throughout Egypt quickly. In the last lessons Jeremiah had warned them not to go to Egypt, or the wrath of God would descend upon them. We see they have defied the warnings and went to Egypt anyhow. The names above are just some of the cities in Egypt where they are living. I want to say one more time, Egypt is a type of the world. The message for Christians in this is to stay in the city of God. Do not go back into the world after you are saved. Verses 2-6: The prophet summarized what had occurred in Judah as a basis for what he predicted coming on the refugees in Egypt. Jeremiah 44:2 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they [are] a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein," In which manner, the prophecies of this book are frequently prefaced (see Jer.

What Did King Josiah Reform?
Chapter 17 What Did King Josiah Reform? Margaret Barker King Josiah changed the religion of Israel in 623 BC. According to the Old Testament account in 2 Kings 23, he removed all manner of idolatrous items from the temple and purified his kingdom of Canaanite practices. Temple vessels made for Baal, Asherah, and the host of heaven were removed, idolatrous priests were deposed, the Asherah itself was taken from the temple and burned, and much more besides. An old law book had been discovered in the temple, and this had prompted the king to bring the religion of his kingdom into line with the requirements of that book (2 Kings 22:8–13; 2 Chronicles 34:14–20).1 There could be only one temple, it stated, and so all other places of sacrificial worship had to be destroyed (Deuteronomy 12:1–5). The law book is easily recognizable as Deuteronomy, and so King Josiah’s purge is usually known as the Deuteronomic reform of the temple. In 598 BC, twenty-five years after the work of Josiah, Jerusalem was attacked by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar (2 Kings 24:10– 16; 25:1–9); eleven years after the first attack, they returned to destroy the city and the temple (586 BC). Refugees fled south to Egypt, and we read in the book of Jeremiah how they would not accept the prophet’s interpretation of the disaster (Jeremiah 44:16–19). Jeremiah insisted that Jerusalem had fallen because of the sins of her people, but the refugees said it had fallen because of Josiah.

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.

ETS: San Diego, 2007 “The Call for the Unfaithful Wife to Return: The Rhetoric of Prophetic Appeal in Jeremiah 2:1-4:4” Gary E. Yates, Ph.D. (Liberty Theological Seminary) Introduction Martin Luther observed that that the prophets “have a queer way of talking, like people who, instead of proceeding in an orderly manner, ramble off from one thing to the next, so that you cannot make head or tail of them or see what they are getting at.” One might be inclined to these sentiments when attempting to make sense of the composition and arrangement of Jeremiah 2:1-4:4, the opening block of prophetic messages in the book following the call narrative of chapter 1. Abma notes concerning this section: Jeremiah 2:1-4:4 is a complex text which switches from poetry to prose, from the past to the present, from one addressee to another and from one eloquent meta- phor to another in order to portray Israel’s conduct.

Jeremiah Back to Egypt Lesson #12 for December 19, 2015 Scriptures: Jeremiah 40:7-16; 41-44; Exodus 16:3; Numbers 16:13
Jeremiah Back to Egypt Lesson #12 for December 19, 2015 Scriptures: Jeremiah 40:7-16; 41-44; Exodus 16:3; Numbers 16:13. 1. With this lesson we come to the end of Jeremiah’s prophecies and his life. What a saga it was. It was not a “happily ever after” kind of a story. Why do you think those people were so determined to rebel against God in virtually everything He said through Jeremiah? One thing seems clear: There was not much left that God could do for them. Only a very tiny faithful remnant who were scorned and rebuffed by the rest of the people of Judah seemed to care about God’s messages. 2. So, what finally happened to Jeremiah? The “weeping prophet” had even more to weep about. It seemed that every time he warned about something, they were determined to do exactly what Jeremiah had warned against. 3. Could any of us be caught in that kind of scenario? God’s grace is incredibly generous; but, it is never forced on anyone. God is incredibly gracious and forgiving; but, that does not give us permission to go on sinning! Those Jews seemed to think that if they had enough lambs to sacrifice, they could just keep on doing what they were doing, and God would keep on forgiving them. Does that sound like indulgences? 4. We pick up our story this week after the final destruction of Jerusalem when Jeremiah was taken along with others to the camp of Nebuchadnezzar for determination of what would happen to each of them.
