3 Jeremiah Before we begin with Jeremiah, I want to give a bit of the background of the Scriptures up to Jeremiah. We have the book of Genesis which is the book of beginnings when the world was created, when man was made, when sin entered the world for the first time, when the first murder occurred, etc. Genesis also includes the stories of Noah, the spread of the Nations (Tower of Babel), Abraham, Esau, Jacob and his twelve sons (which is the beginning of the Israelites), which includes the life of Joseph. Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy describe the life of Moses; how God delivered the Israelites from the Egyptians; and we also find the law. Because of the Israelites disobedience to God they wandered in the dessert for 40 years. The book of Joshua describes in detail, God giving the Promised Land and how the lands were divided into the twelve tribes. After being brought into the Promised Land, we have the book of Judges where the people again and again rejected the Lord as King. We have Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar, Deborah, Gideon, Abimelech, Tola, Jair, Jeppthah, Ibzan, Elon, Abdon, and then Samson as judge. The people were without a king and they did their own thing. The book of Ruth gives us a family situation that occurred during the time of the Judges. It is a story of selfless love and redemption. 1 and 2 Samuel gives us the life of the prophet Samuel, the kingship of Saul, and then the kingship of David. 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles tells us about the Kings until they are taken into exile. The ministries of Elijah and Elisha are mainly in Kings but also referred to in Chronicles. Jeremiah begins his ministry in the 13 th year of King Josiah and continues until they are put into exile. (See sheet that includes the chronology of the Kings.) The book of Jeremiah is not written in chronological order. But I think it is extremely important to understand the times that Jeremiah worked. So I would like you to read 2 Kings 23 to the end and 2 Chronicles 34 to the end. Jeremiah was the writer of the book Jeremiah and he was most likely the writer of Lamentations. The Scriptures do not talk about the death of Jeremiah but from Jewish tradition it was believed that Jeremiah was stoned to death while in Egypt. The book of Jeremiah shows me the heart of God in a clear and beautiful way. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and I pray that you will also.

42 Read Jeremiah 50:1-51:64. This is another prophecy that has not fully happened yet. Babylon will be judged. Heaven and earth will shout for joy because God will have His vengeance on them. Babylon had rejoiced and was glad about hurting God s inheritance. They had opposed God and were arrogant. 9. Throughout this devastating time, there are positive things that happen. Next to each verse write down what those positive things are. 50:4-5 50:19 50:20 50:34 51:5 10. Jeremiah 50:44, God says he is like a lion. What are the two last questions God asks in this verse? What is your answer to them? 11. Jeremiah 51:15-16, says God is who? 12. Who is God to you? Will you receive God s mercy and grace?

43 Lesson 19: Jeremiah 52 Read Jeremiah 52:1-11, this is a summary of the history of the last king of Judah. 1. What happened to Zedekiah? 2. Why did God allow this to happen to Zedekiah? (v. 2) 3. Look back at Jeremiah 38:14-23, did God do what he said he would do? 4. Did this have to happen? Explain. 5. What does this teach you about obeying God? 6. Why was God doing this to Jerusalem and Judah? (v. 3) Read Jeremiah 52: What happened to the city Jerusalem? 8. What happened to those who survived?

44 Read Jeremiah 52:17:23 9. What happened to this beautiful temple? 10. Jeremiah prophesied that this would happen in Jeremiah 27: What was it that Hannaniah prophesied in Jeremiah 28:1-4? 11. Who was right? 12. What can we learn from this? Read Jeremiah 52: What happened to those that were still in the city? Read Jeremiah 52: How many Jews were taken into exile? Read Jeremiah 52: What happened to Jehoiachin? 16. How does this encourage you?

45 Lesson 20: Lamentations It would make sense to go ahead and read Lamentations. It was written by Jeremiah and tells of the many sorrows that happened as a result of their sin. 1. Read Lamentations 1 and jot down your thoughts. What do you find interesting in this passage? What touches your heart? 2. Read Lamentations 2 and jot down your thoughts. What do you find interesting in this passage? What touches your heart? 3. Read Lamentations 3:1-18, what was Jeremiah going through?

46 4. Read Lamentations 3:19-40, why does Jeremiah have hope? 5. Read Lamentations 3:41-66, what did Jeremiah tell the people to do? What did he tell God to do? 6. Read Lamentations 4 and jot down your thoughts. 7. Read Lamentations 5. All of chapter 5 is a prayer. What does Jeremiah pray for? To be remembered, (Jeremiah also confesses sin v. 16), to be restored. To be brought back to God, to no longer be rejected. Psalm 74, 79, 85, 102, 120, and 137 were all written in response to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple.
