Jeremiah Vs. Ruben's Miracles In Tin L. Enger

Jeremiah 31:30-34 is often referred to as the pinnacle of Old Testament literature. In a sense it is the climax of Jeremiah 's teachings, the fruits of his years of theological work. The passage begins in verse 31 by saying, "The time is coming" words used various times by Jeremiah to announce a prophesy, the verse 's wording assure that fulfillment is certain. The words that follow are very radical because they invoke the coming of a "new" covenant that he will make with the houses of Israel and Judah. It is at this very moment that we have the first indication that the Mosaic covenant is now the Old Covenant, and that we will have a new covenant, "a covenant of the fullness of the time, of the consummation of the ages" (Heb 8:13). One detail that should be noted is that the parties involved in this covenant are already stated which are God and the house of Israel and Judah. This particular verse brings forth the separation found within Israel, He will not redeem just a part of the nation, but he will redeem it in its entirety.

In the book, Peace Like a River, Reuben as the narrator depicts Jeremiah as a divine mortal. The first time Reuben paints this picture is in the first chapter. Reuben states that Jeremiah says, “Reuben Land, in the name of the living God I am telling you to breathe”(Page 2). Jeremiah some how manages to bring back a child who hasn’t been breathing for 12 minutes. Reuben proceeds to assert “the answer, it seems to me now, lies in miracles”(page 2). In the start of the book, Jeremiah is already portrayed as a blessed person. Later on in the book every time a miracle happens, the Reuben will say make of it what you will. In the end, Jeremiah performs one last miracle and sacrifices his life for Reuben, affirming him as a great parent and person

In chapter 3 of Peace Like A River Ruben and Jeremiah came home from a church service to find out that their front door had been completely tarred with one gallon of Gambles Roofing Tar by Israel Finch, and Tommy Basca. When Ruben sees this he describes a sudden change in the air, and with his lungs. He characterized the air as becoming thicker,warmer, and being filled with invisible mites that colluded his lungs. He describes his lungs a sponge, and bellows that are used to rouse a fire.Jeremiah had to sit him down and put a hot towel over his face to loosen his lungs. When this particular conflict arose Ruben immediately went into shock and his asthma flared

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

The root of man's condition is reported in Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

Jeremiah reported he does not have to misbehaved on the bus, have loud outburst, or be influenced to do negative things by his peers and imaginary friends.

4. But how often is our heartbroken for our lost friends and neighbors, our lost world?

First, understand that Jeremiah's prophecy was given to Israelites who, though exiled to Babylon, longed to return home. At that time, a false prophet by the name of Hananiah misled the people into believing they would return to Jerusalem within two years. However, Jeremiah, a true prophet of God, foresaw

The book of Jeremiah contains various modes of composition, ranging from oracles of judgment and salvation to biological narratives and laments. Amongst these, the laments of Jeremiah have a profound literary impact since it uses poetry and prose to illustrate God’s punishment to Judah for disobedience paralleling with Jeremiah’s persecution by close friends and family. However, this type of literary literature is also used in Psalms and even in Job. The comparison of laments within Jeremiah to Psalms exhibits a structure of certain elements, which are invocation, complaint against God, cry for help, vilification of one’s enemies, an affirmation of confidence, recognition of divine response and elements of praise and thanksgiving.

Often times, Bible commentators have said that this section of scripture is the apogee of Jeremiah’s spiritual journey. It is also one of the most moving and profoundest passages in the Bible.

The first reason Jeremiah should be encouraged to take up the ministry is that his very life is rooted in the unshakable, sovereign purposes of God. The same is true for every child of God. Second, God sanctified him. He set him apart for something significant. And that is true for us too. In giving every Christian grace and gifts, God consecrated us to be like Jesus and to use our gifts for his glory. And third, God ordained Jeremiah to be a prophet. "I ordained you to be a prophet to the nations." This is why Jeremiah was born. This is his destiny. And you have one too. No Christian exists merely to make an honest living, raise a family, enjoy retirement, and die. Every one of us is called to a ministry. Then in verse six we hear of Jeremiah’s anxiety and excuse when he is called: “Then said I: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” This is quite similar to the excuse Moses made who said: “O my Lord, I am not eloquent.” But God says who makes man’s mouth – now go. And enabling the call, the Lord encourages Jeremiah by saying (1:7-8): “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you,” says the

Introduction: Jeremiah was a prophet called by God. His name means, “God will exalt”. He has written two books: Jeremiah and the Lamentations of Jeremiah. At the time of this prophesy, Israel was still part of the Assyrian Kingdom: After it was invaded by the Assyrian king Shalmaneser and the people of Israel were under dire suffering. They could not even run to the Southern Kingdom, Judah, for Judah itself was occupied by Nebuchadnezzar and the young men were

Now these words were spoken by the prophet Jeremiah in a day when the nation's desire, its best desire, was perhaps never so evident. The people had begun to see the fulfilment of God's promises and the working of His providence. Their foes were being pushed from their land, the beginnings of recultivation were taking place, and the broken-down altars of God were being rebuilt. But all was being done so slowly that they could not reconcile the slowness of God with the implicit assurances upon which their faith in Him rested.
