We have been covering the Bible
by time sequence, phase by phase
OT1: Five Books of Laws incl Job.
OT2: History Up to King David
from Joshua to 1 Chron + Psalms
as well as Reign of King Solomon
in 2nd Chron & Wisdom Poetry.
In Phase 3, we see decline of the
two nations, and Israel dispersed.
OT3A: 1 Kings: United & Divided
Kingdom and Obadiah & Joel
OT3B: 2K1-17: Israel Dispersion
as well as Jonah, Amos, Hosea,
Micah and Prophet Isaiah.
Next, on the time clock of history,
Judah is only seconds away from
destruction as God calls Jeremiah
to the task of preaching repentance
to an affluent, self-satisfied people.
Jeremiah challenges his country
men to recognise their errors and
repent. But Judah’s response
is not repentance but rejection.
For more than 40 years, the sinful
nation remains deaf to Jeremiah’s
warnings until at last it is too late.
The Babylonians army arrives;
vengeance falls and God’s justice
and holiness are vindicated.
We’ll cover book of Jeremiah over
three weekends under six divisions:
Judah condemned for sins (J1-10)
Destruction Prophesied (J11-20)
Judah’s Leaders Accused (J21-29)
Future Restoration of Jeru (J30-33)
Present Fall of Jerusalem (J34-45)
Prophecies to Gentiles (46-52)
