JEREMIAH
24-25:
A
stunning prophecy was given in yesterday's reading:
Jer. 23:5 GNT The Lord says, “The time is coming when I will choose as king a righteous descendant of David. That king will rule wisely and do what is right and just throughout the land.
6 When he is king, the people of Judah will be safe, and the...

JEREMIAH 23:

JEREMIAH 17-18:
One
catches so clearly how trapped Jeremiah was in the time of God’s
judgment, and how hot God’s anger was against Judah. Jeremiah’s
audience would not have appreciated him telling them where the Lord
said they could ‘go’! No wonder he so often weeps and cries out in
despair. God’s verdict in...
