Research Paper On Jeremiah

Jeremiah is 16 y.o. young boy. Most of his life he spent on the streets with his family. Both his parents are homeless. During his childhood he’s seen a lot: poverty, hunger, drugs, fights, and violence. His all family, parents and tree brothers, were living under the bridge. He was deprived of basic things.

Jeremiah did nothing but simply left things in God’s hands. He allowed Holgren to make a fool out of himself and surprisingly, he healed Holgren’s face from those unsightly sores.

The selected chapters of the second half of Jeremiah are drastically different in tone because there is a much bigger presence of hope in them whereas it is all gloom and destruction in the first half of the book. The theme of restoration builds as we move from one prophet to the next, and Jeremiah seems to have the most hope of restoration so far. The image of YHWH being the depressed and righteously angry husband of Israel and Judah continues to appear in Jeremiah, but maybe a stronger depiction of YHWH in these chapters is that of a parent. The author repeatedly describes the steadfast and everlasting love that YHWH has for his people, labeled most often as Ephraim. I find this to be strange since Ephraim represents the strongest tribe

The Prophet Jeremiah, son of Hilkiah, was of the priesthood race, and a native of Anathoth, a village in the tribe of Benjamin, within a few miles of Jerusalem, which had been appointed for the use of the priests, the descendants of Aaron. He was called to the prophetic office when very young; probably when he was fourteen years of age, and in the thirteenth of the reign of Josiah, 629 BC. He continued to prophesy till after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans, and about two years afterwards till he died in Egypt. The name Jeremiah translated from the Hebrew word yirmeyahu, means Jehovah throws. In addition, throughout the times of Jeremiah, Jehovah

Jeremiah lived about 600 years before the time of Jesus, in the southern Kingdom of Judah. In his time, people didn’t treat each other equally and worshipped idols. Instead of helping the poor, the wealthy boasted about their wealth. God chose Jeremiah to be a prophet so he could spread his word and teach them to repent. Jeremiah’s message was to treat others fairly and worship God alone. The people denied his message and continued to worship false gods and looking down on the poor. They beat Jeremiah for spreading God’s word and took him to prison. Jeremiah still spread God’s word after being imprisoned.

From a historical and geographical perspective, the book of Isaiah is an accurate representation. A lot of what has been found through archeology supports the events in the book. The book of Isaiah focuses on the south kingdom of Judah. During the book, the North Kingdom is in the process of its down fall. The book of Isaiah gives us insight into the minds of the southern kings at the time. Thus, we are able to see the historical context of how the south eventually fell.

The verses 2 and 3 give us a short overview of the time in which this book was written. Jeremiah began prophesying in Judah in 626 BC, halfway through the reign of Josiah (640-609 BC). Josiah’s father and grandfather did what was evil in the Lords eyes. They were known for their idolatrous practices (2 Chronicles

1982 "Be as Men Who Are Facing Har-Magedon Unafraid .. In behalf of such right-hearted individuals Jehovah has considerately raised up his 'prophet to the nations.' .. In behalf of such individuals who at heart seek God's rule instead of man's rule, the 'prophet' whom Jehovah has raised up has been, not an individual man as in the case of Jeremiah, but a class. The members of this class are, like the prophet-priest Jeremiah, wholly dedicated to Jehovah God through Christ and, by the begettal of Jehovah's holy spirit, they have been made part of 'a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession' .. At this late date, there is a mere remnant of this 'prophet' class yet on earth." {WT Oct 1 1982 26-7}

Isaiah's commission begins with Isaiah protesting that he is not worthy to see the Lord. He recognizes that he has seen the Lord and worries about the consequences to him because of this sight. "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips,and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty" (Isaiah 6:5). Likewise, Jeremiah protests that he is not worthy after the Lord appoints him as a prophet. Jeremiah says, "Alas, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am too young" (Jeremiah 1:6). These two quotes reveal that both Isaiah and Jeremiah did not believe that they were worthy of seeing the Lord and being His prophet.

Jeremiah was the son of Hilkiah, a Jewish priest from the Benjamite village of Anathoth. Jeremiah's ministry was started in the thirteenth year of Josiah, king of Judah and lasted until after the fall of Jerusalem and the

He never lost his faith in God's power. Jeremiah has showed to be one of the stronger brothers in America, because he wakes up everyday and doesn't let his thoughts ruin his day. He goes to church, prays, and actually tries to LIVE! He realizes that to survive, he must now adapt to a new way of living. People will do anything to survive, and just like Jeremiah, they keep their faith

Jeremiah was inspired by God to tell Jewish exiles to submit to the rulers when in exile in Babylon and even to pray for the peace of that city (29:4, 7) (Pratt, J. 1998). In Jeremiah writing

Jeremiah may be one of the most intriguing and revealing of the Old Testament prophets. With his continual return to god and the constant struggle between his heart and the voice of god. This elevates him as a human being and not just as an instrument of god (Paterson 144). He is one of the most human of prophets mentioned in the Old Testament and at the same time most Christ like in aspects of his sermons and works. His story has intrigued many for it is of human weakness and strength (Paterson 139). Let us now take a look at his life and at his works.
