Ex 3: 11-13yahweh

Ephesians 3:14-21 “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with the power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in

This is predicting the future. It is also a form of calling one out to repent and obey. Many predictions have already come to pass. Some of Ezekiel is apocalyptic.

Jeremiah was inspired by God to tell Jewish exiles to submit to the rulers when in exile in Babylon and even to pray for the peace of that city (29:4, 7) (Pratt, J. 1998). In Jeremiah writing

Through such prophets like Jeremiah, God challenges His servants to be different. Not as men of the Church, cut from the same cloth, who pride themselves in running their self-made enterprise to look like the House of God.

In the beginning, we have the creation of the Earth, man, and all living things. We also have the followers of God and His disciples who govern His words and follow His laws. The bible tells us of how God chose us all to become His children and who chose to help fulfill His promises to not only Jerusalem, but to all nations. We also read about Gods messengers and why He has chosen them and the purposes behind why they serve an important part of saving His children. Jeremiah the prophet is just one of many who God has chosen to help guide and talk to the people, and to give Jeremiah his purpose in life.

In contrast, in Isa 6:5, the prophet’s self-doubt comes first (“I am a man of unclean lips… and my eyes have seen…the Lord Almighty”), second comes the Lord reassuring Isaiah (“your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for”, 6:7) and only subsequently does God officially call upon him, asking him to “Go and tell this people” His words of hope and justice. Whether obvious/literal or symbolic, the Biblical calling stories contain these three patterned

The authors of the textbook intend chapter one to be a baseline or at least a starting point for scholars that are possibly studying the New Testament for the first time. The stated “aim” of the chapter is “to provide enough of a framework to make the rest of this textbook, and a lot of other books on the New Testament, a little easier to understand.” (23) Highlighted in the chapter are some of the more common criticisms used by scholars today (e.g., form criticism, redaction criticism, textual criticism, and historical criticism, just to name a few), along with some of the key figures throughout history that have utilized such criticisms to help shape scholarly study of the New Testament canon.

From the book of Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 9-10 states, “Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant”.” The Lord gave Jeremiah to spread the

This passage comes at a very important time for Jeremiah and the Jews. The covenant had caved in because the people habitually broken it. Because of this, a question had arose, how can a holy God maintain a relationship with a sinful nation that had been deprived of a country and then sent into captivity? There was only one solution: a New

These comforting words from the Lord is geared towards the assurance that He will never leave Israel nor will He forsake them. In this section of Isaiah 40-66 it is vivid to understand that after the release of Israel from captivity and the fall of Babylon the suffering servant/Messiah will bring renewed hope to the people of God. God does not want His people to lose hope; but they must continue to trust and be faithful to Him. Isaiah begins with the word from the Lord in God’s proclamation as He says “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people” (Isa. 40:1, KJV). These comforting words was to instill the confidence of the people in Yahweh who is the King of kings and Lord of Lords. Moreover, is paramount to know and understand that Judah still had 100 years of adversity and more than 70 years in exile. Subsequently, the need for comfort and assurance was essential because they (Judah) could envision an end to their plight in sight. God insists on letting His chosen people know that as His servants they were responsible for carrying out His purpose. Unfortunately they have become blind and deaf towards God; yet He will restore them; but only this time He will utilize a Servant that will not fail Him in the form of Jesus Christ. It is God’s grace that is now being utilized for those who are

Although Jeremiah obeys God to be his messenger, he still complains while doing his mission. Philip Stern thinks that “just as the prophet’s call took him by surprise, Jeremiah was not always prepared for the personal consequences of speaking the word of the Lord, even though Jeremiah’s message went against the grain of Jerusalem’s political and religious establishment.” At the beginning of his prophetic ministry, Jeremiah was complaining of the bad effect of the spring and summer harvest which could not save the Israelite people (Jer 8:20). Jer 8: 20 – 9: 6 use some words which show in man in despair for the painful situation of his people. He cries: “Is Yahweh not in Zion?” (Jer 8: 19). However, God’s response was: “why have they provoked me to anger with their images, with their foreign idols” (Jer 8: 19). He immediately recognizes that this dreadful situation is the consequence of “their desertion to their God.” Commentating Jer 9: 1-3, Habel states that: “two courses of action seem desirable to Jeremiah. Either he can attempt to change God’s heart by a flood of sympathetic tears, or he can try to

In Ecclesiastes 1:4-6 I do not think it has a message pertaining weather. This passage means to me that people are born, and people pass away; the sun will shine the next morning and set in the evening, and this pattern will continue. Just like in Ecclesiastes chapter three; there is a season and a time for everything. Ecclesiastes 1:4 "generations come, and generations go." there is a season where people are born and when they die. The seasons change as the sun rises and sets.

Jeremiah was a prophet in the nation of Judah, specifically he prophesied to the city of Jerusalem about the coming destruction that it faced. He was the son of a priest named Hilkiah. Jeremiah was born in the town of Anathoth which belonged to the tribe of Benjamin. God spoke to him while he was a young man, when good King Josiah was on the throne of Judah. God had called and set Jeremiah apart to be a prophet before he was born. Jeremiah did not believe that he was capable to be a spokesman for the Lord because of his age, but God equipped and strengthened him. Jeremiah’s message was from God and he did not need to fear the people because the Lord gave Jeremiah the authority. Jeremiah’s calling was confirmed by two visions that God gave to him.

In Jeremiah 1, God explains that he has had a plan for Jeremiah before he was brought into existence. Just like Jeremiah, God give everyone the breath in their lungs to speak the words of the Lord. God gives his people his promise that even their troubles, he will be the supporter in his people 's’ calling. In Jeremiah 1, Jeremiah is called on as a young boy to speak through the lord, is given power in the lord’s touch, and has a vision to symbolize the difficulties he will face and the strength he must gain through the Lord’s promise.

Jeremiah was a Levite priest and one of the Major Prophets of the pre exilic time. He lived in Judah, and began his prophetic ministry as a young man in his village of Anathoth near Jerusalem about 627 BC during the reign of King Josiah. His ministry lasted until around 582 BC sometime after the fall of Jerusalem and the beginning of the Babylon captivity. The book of Jeremiah begins with an account of Jeremiah’s call to be a prophet. (Jeremiah 1:4-6) he was destined to be a prophet even before he was born, Yahweh had a plan and purpose for him. The book of Jeremiah is a collection of oracles, and historical narratives. Jeremiah’s messages were aimed at the people of Jerusalem, and Judah, as well as King Jehoiakim who tried to escape Babylon’s control by uniting Judah with Egypt, and King Zedekiah who Jeremiah urged to act boldly and submit to Nebuchadnezzr and spar his people. However Zedekiah did not listen to Jeremiah. The majority of Jeremiah’s message was judgment on Judah for their disobedience to the covenant with Yahweh. Jeremiah’s national crisis was the Babylonian Wars. He urged obedience as the safest course. Jeremiah’s message also was that Yahweh would crush Judah for abandoning his covenant, and Judah’s moral failures necessitated its punishment. Jeremiah believed that the punishment was deserved because the king and people abused the poor and powerless. Jeremiah urged Judah’s Kings- especially King Jehoiakim and King Zedekiah to see that the newly
