Jeremiah and Lamentations: Babylonian Crisis

In this module we’ll have a chance to get acquainted with a person many people call the “weeping prophet.” The book of Jeremiah has a lot of prophetic oracles but it also has a lot of personal stories. It is a book filled with his grief over being opposed and rejected . . . grief over a whole community that does not want to hear the truth. You’ll hear more anguish in the little book of Lamentations in our last lesson.

There’s a lot of agony expressed by Jeremiah but you’ll also find some of the most amazing predictions of restoration. You’ll discover one Hebrew word that captures the full meaning of Israel’s return from captivity.

Get ready for an emotional journey as Judah plunges into its darkest hour . . . while holding onto breathtaking words of a bright future.
