00:26 – A brief overview of the historical background of these chapters.
08:42 – Qualities Jeremiah sees in future Israel.
24:53 – “David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne.” This prophecy can be read as being fulfilled in the kingship of Jesus Christ.
26:40 – Zedekiah’s court opposes Jeremiah’s message. Discerning voices of truth from error is a challenge today like it was in Jeremiah’s day.
29:41 – True friends find a proper and affectionate manner with which to reclaim you.
37:05 – Jeremiah 31 contains a message of hope. “I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow…my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.”
40:54 – The people of Zarahemla in the Book of Mormon are descendants of Zedekiah. Jeremiah 32 shows Jeremiah redeeming his family land in Anathoth. This symbolic action could portray a reconciliation with his family and the future hope of the Jewish people reclaiming the land.
48:45 – The Rechabites left Jerusalem after the king purged them out of the temple in Jerusalem. This righteous group of pious believers were told by Jeremiah that their family line will continue. The Rechabites are an example of how the visionaries of Lehi’s day were rejected by the authorities in Jerusalem.
53:14 – Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, lays siege to Jerusalem in 586 B.C. and “puts out the eyes of Zedekiah.” Jehoiakim burns Jeremiah’s prophecy, which Baruch wrote upon a scroll. Jeremiah’s scribe Baruch is seen by some scholars as the person who compiled and edited much of the Old Testament.
1:02:24 – Lamentations depict the great sadness the Jews felt after the destruction of the temple and their captivity in Babylon.
1:05:24 – Jeremiah emphasizes that the Lord loves Ephraim. The Abrahamic covenant is still in force today and remembered by God.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to Talking Scripture, a podcast where we illustrate relevance and |
| 0:07.5 | application to the scriptures and come follow me. |
| 0:10.3 | We also dive into the history and cultures of the text. |

| 0:23.7 | Welcome to Talking Scripture, I'm Mike, and I'm Bryce. |
| 0:26.3 | And today we are going to be in Jeremiah, chapters 20 through 52, and the Book of Lamentations. |
| 0:31.9 | This week's Come Follow Me is focusing on chapters 30 through 33 and 36 of Jeremiah and Lamentations |
| 0:38.5 | chapters 1 and 3. |
| 0:41.1 | Because Come Follow Me is addressing just a handful of chapters in a large setting, Mike and |
| 0:46.3 | I are going to tackle this week kind of topically by theme and not necessarily go sequentially. |
| 0:52.7 | You will of course read it sequentially, but hopefully our discussion of the topics will |
| 0:58.3 | help you weave those topics throughout the sequence of the scriptures. |
| 1:02.5 | But before we jump into those topics, it's always important, especially with Jeremiah, |
| 1:07.1 | that we have a background understanding that we know what's happening in Israel, who |
| 1:11.8 | are the kings that are involved, what's the setting that's involved. |
| 1:15.3 | So Mike, walk us through the history, not just of Jeremiah, but of these particular chapters. |
| 1:20.4 | Okay, so it's important to know that in the Book of Jeremiah, there are basically five |
| 1:26.4 | kings that we're dealing with during this time period. |
| 1:29.9 | And the first king is Josiah. |
| 1:32.4 | Josiah reign from 640 to 609, he's killed at Megito by the Egyptians in 609. |
| 1:40.3 | And so his San Jehovah has takes the throne and is only on the throne for about nine months |
