Jeremiah's Sermon On The World Of Judah

He chose his family over wealth but his wife did not agree with his decision. So, she abandoned him and three children for a rich Doctor. But in this, his faith grew stronger and began to perform miracles. In the novel, Jeremiah “heals” the grotesque employer who just fired him. “Then I saw that his deviled complexion-that face always set a rolling boil-had changed.

Early in the reign of Jehoiakim, Jeremiah delivered his famous “Temple sermon,” of which there are two versions, one in Jeremiah, chapter 7, verses 1 to 15, the other in chapter 26, verses 1 to 24. He denounced the people for their dependence on the Temple for security and called on them to effect genuine ethical reform. He predicted that God would destroy the Temple of Jerusalem, as he had earlier destroyed that of Shiloh, if they continued in their present path. Jeremiah was immediately arrested and tried on a capital charge. He was acquitted but may have been forbidden to preach again in the Temple.

Jeremiah was born around 650 B.C. The son of Hilkiah, a priest from the town of Anathoth, in a small village located North of Jerusalem in the territory of Benjamin.The meaning of his name is “Yahweh Exalts” and “Yahweh Throws”. His career is believed to have started when he was around twenty or twenty three years of age. The book begins with an account of Jeremiah was called to be a prophet even before Jeremiah was born Yahweh had a plan or purpose for him to fulfill. There is much information known about Jeremiah’s personal life as a prophet than any other in the Old Testament because he has give glimpses into his thinking, concerns, and frustrations.

The Book of Jeremiah is of prophecy genre. Jeremiah is appointed a prophet to the nations by the Lord. Israel is unfaithful and Jerusalem is attacked.

Jeremiah did nothing but simply left things in God’s hands. He allowed Holgren to make a fool out of himself and surprisingly, he healed Holgren’s face from those unsightly sores.

Not only is he staring toward the light, but also the material goods, and signs of wealth that are next to him are almost cast in a shade of darkness and they seem to degrading. This would show that the material things cannot get your into heaven and that Jeremiah spent so much time on earning these material things, wasted his time because of how they have no meaning in the afterlife and they will not last forever like being in the kingdom of heaven. Him being in purgatory would also tie into his facial expression on how he is extremely bored with his material goods and is just out of reach from heaven, but cannot get there because of how he wasted his time on the material goods of life so he has to wait his time out in

Jeremiah had instituted the help of his friend and secretary, Baruch, to take dictations. Together they created a scroll that warned of Babylonian danger. When the scroll was sent to the Jehoiakim, the king, He ripped the columns off with a knife and had them burned. Shortly after Jeremiah and Baruch started on another scroll, this one they did not send to the king. After warnings from Jeremiah Jerusalem was subdued by Babylon in 598B.C.E. Many were taken into Exile including the newly appointed king Jehoiachin. In 594B.C.E Babylon seemed vulnerable due to a revolt in King Nebuchadnezzer's army.

The foul creature stopped his movement and held him in place, saying to him in a crimson voice “death is too easy for you”. Jeremiah was at the mercy of evil.

He saw his wife and his soon to be son, she knew how important they were to him and cursed

There are many great stories in the Prophetic section of the Hebrew Bible, but one that stood out the most to me was the story of David and his battle with the Philistine warrior named Goliath. In the story of David, Samuel is directed by God to anoint David as king after His disapproval of Saul. David, the youngest of 8 brothers, was chosen by God to be anointed because he had the purest heart in the eyes of the Lord. From that day forward, the spirit of the Lord was always with David.

The ability to interpret a circumstance or a symbol requires some observation skills and attention to detail. God asks Jeremiah to truly look at what he sees. He doesn't just see a branch he sees specifics and his able to interpret what the meaning of this sign could be.

1982 "Be as Men Who Are Facing Har-Magedon Unafraid .. In behalf of such right-hearted individuals Jehovah has considerately raised up his 'prophet to the nations.' .. In behalf of such individuals who at heart seek God's rule instead of man's rule, the 'prophet' whom Jehovah has raised up has been, not an individual man as in the case of Jeremiah, but a class. The members of this class are, like the prophet-priest Jeremiah, wholly dedicated to Jehovah God through Christ and, by the begettal of Jehovah's holy spirit, they have been made part of 'a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession' .. At this late date, there is a mere remnant of this 'prophet' class yet on earth." {WT Oct 1 1982 26-7}

Jeremiah originally introduced the concept of individual responsibility; this was a part of the new covenant. Jeremiah believed the rules of the new covenant would become a part of the normal way of life, unlike the old covenant that had failed to make the transition from written principle to living practice (cite book pg. 248).
