They depict the destruction of Jerusalem and the hope of Israel. 10:28 – Organizing the book of Jeremiah. 14:34 – Jeremiah 1.5 depicts Jeremiah’s premortal life and foreordination. The Lord knew him before he formed him. 20:35 – The Lord assures Jeremiah that he will be with him in his service. The Lord will be with us in our challenges as well. 23:50 – Jeremiah has a vision of enemies coming from the north around 627 B.C. The Scythian invasion into this region could have been viewed as a prophecy of Jeremiah that did not come to pass. Later, the Babylonians will fulfill this prophecy. 29:48 – Be careful to not put our expectations on blessings. Let the Lord do his work in his timing. Waiting upon the Lord to see how he fulfills his promises can be a trial of our faith. 33:39 – Jeremiah laments that people in his hometown want to kill him and feels like he has been deceived by God. 36:29 – An angel helped Nephi understand the visions that he had, showing that perhaps prophets receive revelation in parts and also need to have patience and faith. 41:11 – Jeremiah is in the stocks and wants to stop prophesying, but God’s word is as a burning fire shut up in his bones. 44:35 – A middle position can be found between the extremes of innocent optimism and disillusioned pessimism. The church can be filled with human error and still be the kingdom of God. 48:10 – Jeremiah curses the day he was born, as nothing fits his expectations. 51:43 – The character of God extending his arms and inviting Israel back. 59:16 – The people of Judah have forsaken the fount of living water. “Your own sword has devoured your prophets.” (Jer. 2.30) 1:03:19 – In Jeremiah’s temple sermon he reminds his listeners to amend their ways. Shiloh was attacked and Jerusalem can be destroyed too. 1:07:23 – Jeremiah’s Symbolic Acts. He takes his girdle near the Euphrates (Jer. 13), visits the house of a potter (Jer. 18), and smashes an earthen bottle (Jer. 19). These acts show God’s power to send the Jews into captivity and to reshape them as a potter reshapes clay. 1:10:54 – Jeremiah’s vision of our day. The tragedy and failure of Judah can inspire us to rise up and be what ancient prophets saw we would be. ➡ Bryce Dunford's Website: brotherdunford.org/ ➡ Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-scripture/id1481923946 ➡ Google Podcasts: podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5sZHNzY3JpcHR1cmV0ZWFjaGluZ3Mub3JnL2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdC8 ➡ Stitcher: www.stitcher.com/podcast/talking-scripture?refid=stpr ➡ Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/29SzZOUi9PHoa3f6Sy4zur?si=NECQi0kLSOuSTN-DOcwhUw ➡ Facebook: www.facebook.com/TalkingScripturePodcast/
