Podcasts about jerusalem jeremiah

Job replies in chapter 21 that the wicked do prosper. You must listen before you mock me, Job says. Are you not repulsed by my appearance and sickness? Consider the evidence around you. Many wicked prosper into an untroubled old age. The families of the wicked live in peace; their farms and livestock thrive. The evil feast joyfully until they go to their grave (Sheol). These people take no notice of the Almighty and scorn the Almighty without consequences. The time for dealing with the evil will come; maybe trouble will come on their descendants. The LORD does not seem to visit the wicked's evil with His chastisement. Evil people are just as likely to prosper as to suffer. Your thoughts, my friends, are clearly known to me and are wrong. Stop being false and refrain from your hypocritical attempts to comfort me. We need to cease from judging others and start treating others with kindness and respect. Zephaniah 3 deals with judgement on Jerusalem and all nations. Verses 1-8 deal with imminent impending calamity for Jerusalem (in the prophet's day); and subsequently soon at Armageddon. Armageddon (WW 3) will involve all nations (Joel 3; Zechariah 14; and Revelation 16). Verses 9-13 describe the conversion of the nations in the aftermath of Armageddon. Verses 14-20 tell of the joy associated with Israel's regathering, restoration and conversion (compare Romans 11verses11-24). The chapter begins with a denouncement of Jerusalem as a rebellious and unheeding city. It was a city that had not responded to Yahweh's chastisement. The rot began with the leaders of the nation - the rot starts with the princes and the priests as the people desired rulers like themselvesverses Hosea 4verses1-9. The Almighty was dwelling in that city and had set before them His righteous ways. They had not heeded His prophetic Word, which had predicted the overthrow of surrounding kingdoms. Israel remained unconcerned despite seeing the fulfilment of the words of the prophets. Verses 8 speaks of God's wrath being poured upon all nations (see Joel 3verses1-16). Verse 9 tells of all nations being turned to a pure tongue (most likely Hebrew - as was probably the language prior to the confusion of tongues that occurred with the Tower of Babel; Genesis 11verses1-9). The nations then serve the LORD with one consent (Hebrew "shoulder"; the bearing of the burden and accepting the message coming from the capital city, Zion (Jerusalem see Isaiah 2verses1-5; 9verses6-7). Worshippers will come from the entire world to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 3verses16-18; Zechariah 14verses26-21). Note that the last phrase, "and none shall make them afraid" is a citation from Micah 4verses4 (which is what Isaiah 2 says). The rejoicing of Zion's daughter is again an echo from the servant prophecies in Isaiah (52verses7; note the context verses 1-12; and the restoration will be the work of the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ 52verses13-53verses12). Verse 17 of Zephaniah 3 speaks of Yahweh dwelling in the midst of His people (Joel 3verses17-21). This will be through His Son and the saints in Christ Jesus - Zechariah 14verses1-9. The oppressors of God's people will be eradicated. Israel will be a "praise and a joy in all the earth" (see Zechariah 8verses20-23). God willing let's strive to please our Father and His glorious Son by the way we live now. Verses 1-10 of 1 John 3 elaborate on God's love. The beloved Apostle invites his readers to behold the extent and greatness of the Father's love. Our Sovereign has chosen to condescend and to adopt us as His children. We have entered His family at the immense cost of the sacrifice of His beloved Son. John tells his hearers that they have barely begun conceiving the depth of that love, which will be further understood when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. An appreciation of that love has a purifying effect on the disciple's life. But a failure to understand the importance of Christ's laying down of his life must impel the believer to turn away from loose living (which leads to a lost life). It is not the sin of weakness due to the frailty of our nature, but rather the of abandonment to sin (i.e. living habitually for sin), that concerns the Apostle. John has addressed the weakness of human nature in his first two chapters. To continue practising sin is to deny the grace of the Father and the great price that was paid for our redemption. Are we the children of the world (i.e. the devil), or are the children of God? The fruit of our life is the evidence.   From verses 11-24 we are shown that how we behave towards our brethren demonstrates our parentage. Do we live a live congruent with our claims? The gospel of John shows how our frequently repeated the words of our Lord Jesus Christ reveal this truth. The motive for the first murder in the Bible was envy progressing into hate. We must always attribute the best motives to our brethren. Slandering, or belittling, others incurs the displeasure of our Father. Cain was banished from God's presence and separated from the hope of a life with the Father. Yahweh sent His Son to lay down his own precious life to bring us into fellowship. Though we may have many a doubt (because we are weak humans) the LORD knows our motives, better than we can understand them ourselves (1 Corinthians 4verses1-5). Our Father is ready, willing and able to lovingly respond to our needs and requests (see Romans 8verses28-39). Chapter 4 commences with the need to test whether the teachings - i.e. this is also a testing of the teachers - are true ("try the spirits"), and from God. John in chapter 2 has already told his readers that the errors of the antichrist were active among the community of the disciples. One of the prime identifying features would be the belief in the Trinity, which originated in catechism 312 AD (having been debated by believers for decades prior to endorsing that view. The acceptance that the Lord Jesus Christ was part of a triune God is completely counter to the entire teaching of the Scriptures (even the Encyclopaedia Britannica admits this in its article on the Trinity). Jesus was completely a man, even though he was the Son of God. John 1verses1-18 tell us his beginnings were when he was born (compare Acts 10verses38-43). Jesus came in the flesh (Hebrews 2verses8-18) and this was the only understanding of the first century community of faithful believers (read "The Apostles' Creed"). Believers need to listen to God and His Word, not human speculations from false teachers. From verses 7-21 we are further told how "God is love". When we love each other with a true heart and fervently it is a witness that we are God's children. The Father's love in redeeming an erring race has been seen from the time of Creation. Its pinnacle was reached in the sending of His Son to provide a ransom for us. Our Lord was able to comply with His Father's will because of their unity of love and purpose in providing a place for our acceptance on the basis of Truth believed and sins forgiven. An understanding of this and a life lived sacrificially in love and service is the only life a disciple can live. Anything else is nothing but a hypocritical lie. Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Jeremiah 31:4-9 Send Kurt a postcard! c/o Faith Baptist Church 4105 Plank Road Fredericksburg, VA 22407

39:1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it. 39:2 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up. 39:3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon. 39:4 And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain. 39:5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him. 39:6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah. 39:7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon. 39:8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.

The substance of Ezekiel 12 is easy to understand.One can imagine the power in Ezekiel's symbol-laden actions. In full view of the exiles, he packs his meager belongings in exactly the same way he would if he were a Jerusalemite preparing for a seven-hundred-mile march into exile. What he could bring would have to be carried on his shoulders. At night he digs through the mud-brick walls of his own house. Probably this symbolizes the futile attempt at breakout made by Zedekiah and those immediately around him (2 Kings 25:4; Jer. 39:4): they fled, but they could not escape. All of this Ezekiel does without saying a word, and then the next morning he delivers his message: “I am a sign to you. As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile as captives” (Ezek. 12:11)—with further explanations following (Ezek. 12:12–16).The second symbol-laden action adds a layer to something already in place. So far as his public eating is concerned, Ezekiel is still restricted to the starvation rations imposed in Ezekiel 4:9–17. Now as he eats them, he shudders and puts on a display of terror and despair (Ezek. 12:17–20).And then the stunning application. The people have heard a lot of prophets, and they have grown so cynical that they are circulating a couple of proverbs: “The days go by and every vision comes to nothing” (Ezek. 12:22); “The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future” (Ezek. 12:27). After all, not only are there false prophets around, but even the true prophets like Ezekiel and (in Jerusalem) Jeremiah keep promising the destruction of the city while years pass with its mighty walls intact. Jeremiah has been at it for decades. Doubtless God sees the long delay as powerful evidence of his forbearance and mercy, providing multiplied opportunities for repentance; the people simply grow cynical. So judgment will certainly fall, Ezekiel says—and the popular proverbs will be destroyed.Peter applies the same point to Christians, drawing from another Old Testament account. After the warnings began, the Flood was decades coming, and no one was ready for it except Noah and his family. So it is not surprising that in the “last days”—the days between the first and second comings of Christ, the days in which we live—new generations of scoffers arise and make a virtue of the same wretched cynicism: “Where is this ‘coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation” (2 Pet. 3:3–4). But the Flood came. And so will the fire. This podcast is designed to be used alongside TGC's Read The Bible initiative (TGC.org/readthebible). The podcast features devotional commentaries from D.A.

When you want to know, where to go, what to do, to be seen, to make a difference, you come here, to iIrish: the Truth & the Pulse of what matters   Hello Everyone! Welcome back to iIrish; Songs, Stories & Shenanigans. We have a great show for you today, including talking about International Women’s Day (March 8th), Purim begins on Feb 25th.   Just for a minute, we’re going to move From the Present to acknowledge the Past, and then roll forward: So, Let’s take a look at On This Day in Irish History: 1 March 1794 – The Statutes of Dublin University are amended to allow Catholics to take degree. 2 March 1979 - Christy Ring, legendary Cork hurler, dies suddenly at age 58. Widely regarded as one of the greatest hurlers in the history of the game. 3 March 1924 - The world premiere of Sean O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock takes place at the Abbey Theatre. 10 March 1920 - The Government of Ireland Bill, offering a six-county ‘Northern Ireland,’ was accepted by a two to one majority by the Ulster Unionist Council.   Moving to the present: What’s the News, What’s the News? What’s the news today? The Feast of Purim began last night at sundown and continues until sundown tonight. The Feast commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from the plots of Prime Minister Haman's conspiracy to destroy them. It is a celebration of God's love and protection in the midst of a hostile world. The story of Purim is recorded in the Book of Esther. It takes place in the ancient Medo-Persian empire at the time when the seventy years of exile had come to an end and the Jewish people were allowed to go back to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 29:10). The story begins with Ahasuerus, the King of the Medo-Persian empire, removing Vashti as queen and choosing Esther (Hadassah), a young Jewish woman, to replace her. Shortly after Esther was crowned queen, her cousin Mordecai, one of the King's servants, heard about a plot to assassinate King Ahasuerus. He reported it to Esther, who informed the King, saving his life. In remembrance of the miraculous events that took place, Queen Esther and Mordecai established the observance of Purim to celebrate all that God had done for His people (Esther 9:20-32). - From: The Seven Ways to Celebrate Purim, by David Wilbur, freedomhillcommunity.com   International Women's Day.com tells us that International Woman’s Day is a worldwide day celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. So, it is a civil awareness day, marked annually on March 8th. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity, and is a part of events like Women and girl’s day, Anti-sexism day, and Anti-Discrimination Day Globally, groups come together to celebrate women's achievements or rally for women's equality. Celebrating those achievements, raising awareness about women's equality, lobbying for accelerated gender parity, and/or fundraising for female-focused charities are just some of the things we can all do, to celebrate and right injustice. Of course, there is urgent work to do - and we can all play a part.   John Myers, our Donnybrook columnist, gives us an update on Brexit and the 40th Anniversary of the Hunger strikers. If you want to know more about the Hunger Strikers, check out my book, The Lyrics of Irish Freedom.   Donnybrook by John Myers FINALLY, Brexit is here, after five years or so of debate, rancor, elections, multiple prime ministers and a whole lot of debate, Brexit took effect on New Year’s Day 2021. While the UK had left the EU in January of 2020, there was a transition period where status quo EU regulations governed through December 31, 2020. It took that entire transition period to formally negotiate the divorce deal, otherwise know as a new Free Trade Agreement. This trade agreement came on Christmas Eve just in time to avoid a “Hard Exit.” The main result is that there will be no tariffs on most goods, significantly minimizing disruption. How the service sector will be impacted is still being finalized. Last year the UK border in Ireland was the major sticking point, but Fishing rights, state support of home industries and enforcement of the new Free Trade Agreement emerged as the major sticking points. The Border Issue in Ireland With the landslide victory by Boris Johnson’s government in the last UK election, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) lost its privileged position. Former UK PM Theresa May’s government had to rely on the dozen or so members of the DUP to hold a majority in the Parliament. This gave outsized influence to the staunch Orange/Loyalists membership of the DUP, limiting the ability to find practical solutions to the “border” issue in Ireland. The Six Counties in the north of Ireland are still legally part of the UK ,and thus no longer part of the EU, thus a way to address customs and trade measures had to be created. The fear was that it would require a hardening of the border between the Six Counties and the Republic of Ireland. Fortunately, with the loss of its privileged position, the DUP could not stop the UK Government from agreeing to making the Irish Sea as the new international customs and trade border. The Six Counties are in a unique position by virtue of having direct access to the UK markets, but still part of the EU single market regulations. Hopefully this will be a great economic opportunity to the Six Counties which have one of the lowest economic ratings in the EU. The UK government was left with little choice, as they are desperate for a new Free Trade Agreement with the US and Speaker Pelosi and President-elect Biden indicated there would be no FTA if border issues put the Good Friday Accord in jeopardy. Loyalists are furious that the Six Counties are being treated differently than Great Britain. Irish nationalists are heartened that this will be the beginning of the end of partition as the 100th anniversary of the division of Ireland is observed this year. The Hunger Strikes: 40 years on 2021 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Hunger Strike in Maze Prison, where prisoners fought for political recognition. Bobby Sands was the first of ten prisoners to die on hunger strike. A previous hunger strike the year before (1980), lay the foundation for the momentous 1981 strike. As part of the Ancient Order of Hibernians commemoration, a live, virtual event was held and recorded. You can view it at https://aoh.com/2020/11/30/hunger-strike-1980/   Our March issue came out Wednesday - tho COVID reduced, March is still coming, and there are many events to choose from to celebrate Irish Heritage Month, whether indoors or out, with family or virtually alone. The issue is full of info, columns, Katie Gagne’s recipe for Bailey’s Irish Chocolate truffles; entertainment lists, highlights and things to do related to the theme, and not. Plus, a great column by Akron Irish Columnist Lisa O’Rourke, on The Big Fella, Michael Collins; our Speak Irish monthly lesson; Safe Home wishes to Maureen Lowry Curtin and Ray Shulte. And of course, there is humor, opinion, Kid’s Craic and Coloring contest, profiles and history, book and music reviews and the monthly Irish Crossword Puzzle. March’s puzzle subject is Cork and Tipperary Towns. Or as Maury Collins always says, Rebel Cork. The crosswords are a great way to learn or refresh your Irish knowledge, history and folklore, and all past issues, with the crossword inside, are available on OhioIANews.com.   A few other highlights in this issue: we have not only our Irish Photography Cover Contest; Kids Coloring Contest; and our podcast Listener Contest, but also the winners of the Nov, Dec and Jan Colours of Ireland Contest, plus we review Andrew McManus’ new CD, Days of Wonder – get it! Our cover shot and our Inner View this month is from and about Columbus’ Irish American Fine Artist Maureen Clark, a gifted glorious Irish woman deeply involved in her art, her heritage and the community that inspires her. Check it out in print, and see even more of her work online. Plus there is News for the GAA; a few Opinion pieces and the Irish movers, shakers and music makers that enrich our days.   Marilyn Madigan has another great column this month as well, centered on the formation and celebration of Irish Heritage Month. Her column is called Madigan Muses, her story this month is titled Irish Heritage Month. Here is a bit of it. Catch the rest on the OhioIANews website anytime. The United States Congress, by Public Law 101-418, designated March as Irish Heritage Month, and authorized the President to issue a Proclamation to observe this occasion. President George Bush issued the first Proclamation on March 12, 1991. In the Proclamation, he recognized the many contributions of Irish Americans throughout the history of the United States. Some of the contributions highlighted on that first Proclamation, which included the nine men of Irish origin that signed the Declaration of Independence, and the many of Irish heritage that fought in the American Revolution. This included John Barry, the first Naval Commander. Irish born James Hoban was the architect of the White House. This was just the beginning of the Irish contributions to the birth of our country. EPIC, the Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin, Ireland, has a display of the twenty-three Presidents of Irish descent. The first President of Irish descent was Andrew Jackson. Our current president, Joseph Biden, is the second Catholic of Irish descent elected. He was inaugurated on the 60th Anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s Inauguration. On this 30th Anniversary of the designation of March as Irish Heritage Month, he will be recognizing the contributions of his own ethic heritage. The highlight of Irish Heritage Month is our St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. In most years, our Irish community is very busy attending the many concerts, dinners, dances, and parades. Ohio is proud to host St. Patrick Day parades in Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dublin and Youngstown. This year, these Parades have been cancelled due to the have Pandemic. Although they have been cancelled, the Feast of St. Patrick will continue with the celebration of faith, family, and heritage by the many Ohioans of Irish descent. Irish Heritage Month Activities The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians will be celebrating Irish Heritage Month with two programs and a Mass to honor the Feast of St. Patrick. On Sunday March 7, National Treasurer Sandi Swift of Missouri will be interviewing Muriel McAuley, granddaughter of 1916 Hero Thomas MacDonagh and the great niece of Grace Gifford, who the song Grace was written about (by Frank and Sean O’Meara).   As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jaill I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed? From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me I had the privilege of meeting Muriel in Dublin in February 2019. We met at the GPO General Post Office, one of the principal sites of Easter 1916) and gave me a walking tour of Moore Street and the route that the women took to Jervis Hospital with the wounded. Meeting Muriel and hearing the personal history of her family was one of the highlights of my trip. We are planning on sharing this interview on the LAOH National YouTube Channel on Sunday, March 7, at 1:00pm. March 8 is International Women’s Day; please remember all the women that have contributed to Irish and Irish American history.   Speaking of the Kid’s Craic Colors of Ireland Contest, here is the info: 2 Age Divisions: Ages 7, 8, 9 Ages 10, 11 & 12 Each Age Group winner receives a Gift Card to Kamm’s Corner Ice Cream, or the OhioIANews Advertiser of their choice!

[06/24]Terror upon Jerusalem (Jeremiah 20:1~6)

There is a long held belief that man has an immortal soul or perhaps better understood as a “ghost being” or a metaphysical form that goes on into perpetual life after the body dies or loses its animation. To properly understand the state of the dead, be it a conscious or unconscious state, we must first develop an understanding on what man is made of. That is, we have to fairly examine the components that make up man and woman, which will lend itself to further exploration on what the Bible has to say about life after death. Thus this topic “The state of the dead – conscious or asleep” has been divided into three sub-headings, 1. The creation of man, 2. Are the dead conscious or asleep?, and 3. Hades/Sheol, is there consciousness? References References 1. The creation of man Genesis 2:7 – Dust + breath (spirit) = Soul Animals also called souls – Genesis 1:20,21,24,30; Genesis 9:4-5,12,15; Revelation 8:9; Revelation 16:3 Leviticus 17:11 – Soul = Blood Death is the cessation of life and return to dust– Genesis 2:16-17; 3:19; Job 34:14-15 Hope of continuous existence in the resurrection and not in an immortal soul – Psalm 17:15; Job 14:11-14 2. Are the dead conscious or asleep? Lazarus asleep – John 11:11-14 David’s desire to be awoken from sleep in death – Psalm 13:3 The messenger spoke to Daniel about the dead awakening from sleep – Daniel 12:2 Paul’s speech about those asleep in death – Acts 13:36; 1 Corinthians 15:20 Peter’s teaching on death and sleep – 2 Peter 3:3-4 Man and animals alike in every way, difference in where their breath goes after death – Ecclesiastes 3:18-21; Luke 23:45-46; Acts 7:59; Death loses its victory in the resurrection – 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 3. Hades/Sheol, is there consciousness?

God doesn't always ask us to do easy things. Sometimes he asks us to do things that threaten our comfort, security, or approval of others. The call of Jeremiah is unique, but it also gives us a pattern of responding to the costly call of following God.

Despite the impending and inevitable destruction of Jerusalem Jeremiah shows the Jews it wasn’t all doom and gloom by giving them a glimpse of their future prosperity in the land (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Today we left week 28 with Zephaniah and we are continuing our journey into week 29 with Jeremiah. So come and join our journey and learn about Jeremiah. The Purpose of Jeremiah is to record the final prophecies to Judah, warning of oncoming destruction if the nation does not repent. Jeremiah calls out for the nation to turn back to God. At the same time, Jeremiah recognizes the inevitability of Judah’s destruction due to its unrepentant idolatry and immorality. The Book of Jeremiah is primarily a message of judgment on Judah for rampant idolatry (Jeremiah 7:30-34; 16:10-13; 22:9; 32:29; 44:2-3). After the death of King Josiah, the last righteous king, the nation of Judah had almost completely abandoned God and His commandments. Jeremiah compares Judah to a prostitute (Jeremiah 2:20; 3:1-3). God had promised that He would judge idolatry most severely (Leviticus 26:31-33; Deuteronomy 28:49-68), and Jeremiah was warning Judah that God’s judgment was at hand. God had delivered Judah from destruction on countless occasions, but His mercy was at its end. Jeremiah records King Nebuchadnezzar conquering Judah and making it subject to him (Jeremiah 24:1). After further rebellion, God brought Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian armies back to destroy and desolate Judah and Jerusalem (Jeremiah chapter 52). Even in this most severe judgment, God promises the restoration of Judah back into the land God has given them (Jeremiah 29:10).
