JEREMIAH
(Part 3 of 3)
Question:
“WHY IS JEREMIAH CALLED THE WEEPING
PROPHET?”
JEREMIAH
“He is called the evening
star in the
of the declining day of prophecy”
They would not
predict the future, as this would imply guesswork on the part of the
prophet.
God simply
used these messengers, to tell what WOULD be happening. No
guessing
needed!
The books of
the prophets, Joel to Malachi, cover about 400 years,
830-430BC
approximately, when the Hebrew nation was in decline.
THEIR MISSION
AND MESSAGE
1. To try and save
the
Hebrew nation from IDOLATRY and wickedness.
2. Failing this,
to announce
to the nation, that they will be destroyed.
3. But not
completely
destroyed, as a remnant (a few left) will be saved.
4. Out
of this remnant will come a Person
who will bring all nations to God.
5. That person
will be a great
man who will one day arise out of the family tree of David.
The
prophets called him THE BRANCH. This family tree of
David, once
the most powerful family in the world, was cut down in the days of the
prophets, and disappeared. But the family would comeback with this man
called THE
BRANCH - THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS (Rev
19:16)
Not
even understanding the full meaning and importance of their words, the
prophets
were obedient.
16 PROPHETS IN
FOUR GROUPS
The
destruction and captivity Northern kingdom went from 734-721BC.
They were taken to Assyria have simply disappeared from the
face of the
earth.
The
destruction and captivity of the Southern kingdom, went from 606-586BC.
Taken to Babylon.
Invading
armies didn’t kill and destroy everything at once, but slowly strangled
their
captive nations, with taxes, slaves and goods. Under their rule, they
then left
the very poorest in the land to struggle on.
