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.

0:00.0	66-60. Your future lies in 6640.
0:07.0	66-40. 66 books by 40 authors, and yet we now discover it's an integrated message system from outside our time domain.
0:17.0	Welcome to 6640, the ministry outreach of Quogninia House and Coynini Institute.
0:23.6	Today's Bible teacher is Chuck Missler, connecting the Bible to your life and the world around you.
0:29.1	In today's study, Chuck completes his teaching on the Book of Lamentations, chapters one and two. Chapter 1 and 2 Chapter 4 means the ruin and destruction that he's confronted with.
0:49.4	But again, it traces it back to their sins.
0:52.2	And then the final chapter is really in effect of prayer.
0:55.8	It's the one chapter that's not acrostic.
0:59.6	And we've been taken away, the reproach will be taken away, and the people will ultimately
1:04.0	recover.
1:05.1	The first four poems out of the five are acrostic.
1:08.9	Each verse begins with successive letter of Hebrew alphabet.
1:11.4	Just like many of the Psalms. Psalm 24, 34, 37, 111, 111, 111, 112, 145, 1, especially 119
1:18.1	are the same kind of a structure. It's presumed by many scholars that that was organized
1:22.2	to help make it easier to memorize. But that's a conjecture. The first, second, and fourth have 22 verses, same number
1:30.1	of Hebrew letters. Third has 66. In other words, three verses that begin with the successive letters.
1:38.1	The fifth one is not an acrostic. It's really a prayer a little different. There's also something
1:42.1	else, I picked up. There's a thing called
1:44.5	the Kina meter. It's a frequent use of in the chapters 1-2-4. It's a rhythmic pattern in which
1:52.0	the second half of a line of verse has one less beat than the first half of a line. It's very
1:58.7	analogous in the music to a minor chord, if it will.
2:01.9	It creates a dirge.
