Jeremiah 25 explaining the Abomination of Desolation.Any favorites?
It is a book that I would like to study more. It was written during an extremely dark time for the Hebrew people during the last years of the Kings of Judea before it would fall to the Babylonians and King Solomon's temple be destroyed.
Jeremiah 25 explaining the Abomination of Desolation.
Not sure about everyone; yet I'm constantly learning...Here we go again.
Destruction of the first temple (Jeremiah 25:1-14)... A curse to go out throughout the nations (Jeremiah 25:15-28)... The second temple destruction, and the Abomination of Desolation (Jeremiah 25:29-38).70 years, the destruction of the temple, and desolation
Its got prophesies about Elam, Edom and Tyre which people keep trying to apply to modern countries. This book is seriously overused and complicated. Its complex, long and overused by the wrong people. Observe: "The word of the LORD came to me: 'What do you see, Jeremiah?' 'I see the branch of an almond tree,' I replied. The LORD said to me, 'You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.'" (Jeremiah 1:11-12) For many years that verse did not make sense to me. It was a verse that could not be translated, but my mind desired a meaning. We seek meaning, so this passage which cannot be translated conveys misleading information. The Hebrew for Almond sounds a little like the Hebrew for Watching. I cannot use that information for anything unless I start making guesses. Suddenly I feel this allusion to almond wood is a threat to discipline, like a father threatening to spank. Its neither here nor there, just whatever pops into your head.Jeremiah is a complex and long book with many lessons. Any favorites?
