Summary

Here is one of the bravest, and most tender, yet most pathetic figures in all history: a patriot as well as a prophet. He is known as the "Weeping Prophet": he watched his nation decline and finally fall under God's judgment. During Jeremiah's 40 years of ministry, he never received a hint of gratitude. As one of the most important of the "Major Prophets," Jeremiah is a rich, rewarding study. It is full of surprises, deeply touching episodes, and extremely moving reading. It is also, in many ways, profoundly timely for us today! The book of Lamentations is also included on this commentary. The book of Lamentations is a complete book in itself, a five-chapter book that is sort of an appendix to the book of Jeremiah. The book of Lamentations is his outpouring, where he essentially mourns for Jerusalem. The poor guy on the one hand was faithful in his office as a prophet, he told forth what God had told him to tell forth, and Jerusalem was going to be judged for her iniquity. On the other hand, Jeremiah was a patriot, his roots were there and his emotional commitment to Judah was absolutely uncompromising. This study contains 22 hours of verse by verse teachings.

0:29.1	In today's study, Chuck completes his teaching on the Book of Lamentations, chapters 3 through 5.
0:44.8	Yeah. Chapter 3 through 5 1. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate,
0:47.3	and 38 years later after that declaration, Jerusalem is again destroyed, not by the Babylonians,
0:52.5	by the Romans.
0:53.7	Very similar situation. But the final verse is, this by the Babylonians, by the Romans. Very similar situation.
0:56.4	But the final verse is, this is the triumph of all history, still coming.
1:00.6	For I say unto ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, blessed is he that cometh
1:05.3	in the name of the Lord.
1:07.2	Indeed they will, and indeed he will.
1:12.6	You always want to watch these untills. They're key milestones.
1:14.6	We're getting to chapter 3, which is going to be about the hope of the people of God.
1:18.6	The hope is that their chastisement would be for their own good.
1:21.6	The real theme here is that better day will dawn for them.
1:26.6	This is the heart of Jeremiah's short little book called Lamentations.
1:32.0	This gives a positive framework around which all the other chapters revolve.
1:37.5	The blackness of sin and suffering are in chapters 1 and 2 and 4 and 5, are a backdrop to a sparkling contrast of God's love in chapter three.
1:50.0	And it differs markedly from the first two. Instead of 22 verses 66, three times the others, which I think is in itself significant.
1:59.0	It's organized, it's Jeremiah's response in terms of his afflictions, his hope, and his prayer.
