B123 - Jeremiah, Lamentations
A detailed study of the prophecies and life of Jeremiah, Judah’s last pre-exilic prophet. The student gains useful tools for his own ministry as he learns how the prophet struggled with a stubborn people, drawing valuable lessons from the large cast of characters who crossed the prophet’s path during his forty-year ministry in Judah. The class features outstanding insights into many details, such as the political machinations of Judah with its neighboring nations; the prediction of God’s New Covenant; the true meaning of “the time of Jacob’s trouble”; the corruption, decline, overthrow, and subsequent mourning over Jerusalem; and the great prophecies of Judah’s captivity by Babylonia and the eventual reuniting and restoration of the divided kingdom.
