0:00.0	Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.
0:12.7	I bet you forgot about the Psalms, didn't you? We're still chipping away at those guys bit by bit.
0:18.2	Today we opened with a story in Jeremiah 38 that reminded me a lot of another
0:22.3	story we read before. Did this give you flashbacks to Joseph's story in Genesis 37? We even saw
0:28.5	some similarities in yesterday's reading too. They were both wrongly imprisoned but earned favor with
0:33.6	the king through their humble service. And today Jeremiah was thrown into a cistern, kind of like
0:38.6	the pit Joseph was thrown into. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Jeremiah is still preaching repentance to
0:44.8	Judah, and his warning still lands on people as though it's a pro-B Babylon message. The local officials
0:50.6	think his prophecies are bad for morale, so they want him killed. It seems to be the
0:54.8	only way to silence him. King Zedekiah, who has an amicable relationship with Jeremiah,
1:00.8	claims that he can't stop them from taking action, and he's probably afraid of what they might do
1:05.4	to him if he tries to oppose them. For those of you who are familiar with what happens between
1:10.2	Jesus and Pontius Pilate, does this remind you of that scenario? of you who are familiar with what happens between Jesus and Pontius Pilate,
1:11.9	does this remind you of that scenario? If you're not familiar with it, you can check it out in Luke 23
1:16.9	and see how similar it seems to you. The officials take Jeremiah and throw him into a cistern. If you've
1:22.6	never seen a cistern, imagine a huge milk jug buried in the ground. They're intended for storing water, but since
1:29.0	Jerusalem has been under siege, they're nearing the end of their water supply, and this cistern happens to be
1:34.0	empty. Sisterns can be as deep as 120 feet, but most average around 20 feet. That's a two-story
1:40.7	building. The opening at the top is usually only about two feet wide, and the walls are
1:45.7	often coated with plaster. I'm not telling you all this as some kind of DIY cistern building
1:50.6	tutorial. I'm telling you this because all these details make it clear that this situation was
1:55.7	designed to kill Jeremiah. This isn't prison. There's no way he can climb up smooth plaster walls for two
