Temporada 1
Jeremiah 24 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 24 the Lord shows Jeremiah a vision of two baskets of figs. One is good and the other is so bad it cannot be eaten. He then goes on to make a distinction between two types of people in the land. The same distinction can often be made today.
Jeremiah 23 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 23 the Lord gives Jeremiah prophecies about the false shepherds (pastors) and the false prophets both of which are profane. They peddle the word of God for money, and take advantage of the people for their own benefit. God is not happy!!
Jeremiah 22 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 22 we have a collection of prophetic words from Jeremiah which cover various aspects of the last 5 kings, four of which were evil. This video goes into the remarkable things said about Jeconiah (Jehoiachin) and how Christ descends from this king.
Jeremiah 21 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 21 the King Zedekiah calls upon Jeremiah for a word regarding the approaching Babylonian army, and the word that God gives is the opposite of what he is expecting.
Jeremiah 20 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 20 immediately following the smashing of pottery incident (Jeremiah 19) Passhur - a public official puts Jeremiah in the stocks at a public location to humiliate him. Jeremiah then complains to the Lord about his treatment. He cannot speak publicly because he is persecuted, but likewise he cannot hold in the Lord's words because they are like a fire inside his bones. Jeremiah is in a catch-22 situation.
Jeremiah 19 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 19 he goes at the Lord's instruction to the Hinnom valley where he calls a gathering of people to observe him smash pottery. Judah is the pot, says the Lord, that is to be smashed. The HInnom valley was the location of where many babies were sacrificed to false gods and buried in a Topheth there. This video considers the horrific location of the Hinnom valley, and the enacted prophecy of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 18 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 18 the Lord sends Jeremiah to observe a potter in action, and he notices how during the shaping of a vessel, if it doesn't turn out properly, the potter starts again. Can I not shape you for my purposes, asks the Lord. We are the clay, and he is the potter.
Jeremiah 17 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 17 the Lord says that the sins of Judah are so permanent they are written with a pen of iron. The Lord goes on to observe how deceitful the human heart was - a thing that remains the same today. What does it mean to have a deceitful heart?
Jeremiah 16 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 16 the Lord forbids Jeremiah to get married or to have children. This seems so harsh at first hearing, but in this video we find out it was the great kindness of the Lord.
Jeremiah 15 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 15 God is so determined to judge that he declares that even if Moses or Samuel were present it would not stop Him. Both of these prophets convinced the Lord to relent at previous times in Israel's history, but nothing will stop the Lord this time. Why - what was so bad - Manasseh was a big part of why.
