Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture.

The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today.

It is day to say 243. You guys, this is going to be tremendous, like incredible day. It's a, I don't even know. I can't even begin to tell you. Jeremiah 28 and 29, Daniel chapter 10 and 11, as well as Proverbs 16 versus 13 through 16. Ridiculous. You're going to see how ridiculous it says. There are so many gems, nuggets, I don't even know, gold, diamonds in today's readings that it is almost unbelievable and not fair to any of us that this is all happening in one day. But it's also a huge gift because we're reading from the Bible translation of the Revised Standard Version. See how I'll get back into the script. Revised Standard Version's second Catholic edition. I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your

if people subscribe, then the ratings of the podcast was higher. And here we are, you know, deep, deep into day 243.

And kind of nice to get, you know, higher rate. I don't know, whatever. I just want people to be

able to listen to God's word and let their lives be changed because that is what we're here

to do. And so let's not wait. It is day 243. We are reading from Jeremiah chapter 28 and 29, Daniel chapter 10 and 11, and Proverbs

chapter 16 versus 13 through 16.

The book of the prophet Jeremiah, chapter 28, Hananiah's false prophecy.

In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, Hananiah, the son of Azur, the prophet from Givian, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all the people saying, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel. I have broken the yoke of the King of Babylon. Within two years, I will bring back to this place, all the of the Lord's house which Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, took away from this place and carried to Babylon. I will also bring back to this place, Jechaniah, the son of Jeholyakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. Then the prophet

Jeremiah spoke to Hananiah, the prophet, in the presence of the priests and all the people who

were standing in the house of the Lord. And the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen. May the Lord do so. May

the Lord make the words which you have prophesied come true and bring back to this place from Babylon,

the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the exiles. Yet, here now, this word which I speak

in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient

times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. As for the prophet

who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the

Lord has truly sent the prophet. Then the prophet Hananiah took the yokebars from the neck of Jeremiah

the prophet and broke them, and Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people
