00:26 – The historical context of Jeremiah.
07:32 – Jeremiah’s words are both haunting and hopeful. 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.

| 0:23.7 | Welcome to Talking Scripture, I'm Mike, and I'm Bryce, and today we're going to be |
| 0:27.1 | in Jeremiah chapters 1 through 20. |
| 0:29.1 | Now that's going to be a little odd because we just finished the latter chapters of Isaiah, |
| 0:34.1 | and the setting of that is really kind of post Babylon. |
| 0:37.9 | It's after the return of the Jews to Jerusalem and their rebuilding their temple, and that's |
| 0:42.7 | kind of what Isaiah was addressing in those final chapters, and now all of a sudden Jeremiah |
| 0:47.6 | is pre Babylon. |
| 0:49.8 | So historically we're kind of jumping all around, and now we're going to talk about what |
| 0:54.5 | was causing Israel to go into captivity. |
| 0:58.1 | Israel is really gone astray, and the Lord is coming and saying, hey, come back. |
| 1:03.0 | I'll still receive you. |
| 1:05.1 | Come back, but you are a rebellious people and they're headed for the destruction. |
| 1:09.9 | So we need to go back in time from where we've been the last week and redo a little bit |
| 1:16.5 | what led to the Babylonian captivity, what were those final kings of Israel doing, what's |
| 1:21.5 | the history here, and kind of the rebellion of the Jews that led to the captivity. |
| 1:27.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:28.3 | So I want to talk briefly about a series of kings that Jeremiah lived with and worked |
