JEREMIAH FOR TODAY
Chapters 34 - 45
These chapters have no relation to the modern world and what
is yet to take place in Bible prophecy. They are chapters and
history of Jeremiah, relative to his time and dealings with the
king/s of Judah.
You may like to read them in a modern translation. Certainly
lessons can be taken from these chapters.

CHAPTER 44

Defiance of the People (verses 15-19)
Jeremiah Prophesies Punishment (verses 20-30)
CHAPTER 45
Consolation for Baruch (verses 1-5)
We note in these chapters that the king of Babylon slew the
sons of Zedekiah. The king had left only DAUGHTERS. Jeremiah,
Baruch, and the king's daughters came into the land of Egypt
(chapter 39:6 and 43:6,7).
We see that the words of God as He spoke against, note ...
Israel and Judah (two separate kingdoms) are to be written in a
roll of a book (chapter 36:2); perhaps the two kingdoms will hear
and REPENT!
We can see here the lesson of REJECTION OF THE PROPHETIC
WORD of the Lord as given by one of His servants. So today,
although the prophetic word is SHOUTED OUT to Israel and Judah,
by the servants of the Most High, the LEADERS of Israel and Judah
will REJECT IT. History does and WILL REPEAT itself! (chapter
36).
