1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Let us pray, take thee again another roll, and write

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: it in all the former words that were in the

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: first role which Jehoakim, the King of Judah hath burned

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: Jeremiah thirty six twenty eight. Give me the boldness to

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: speak and proclaim your truth, even when I face persecution

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: from those who feel they know better. And the same

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: way that Jeremiah had the confidence to stand in the

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: face of opposition, I thank you that I too possess

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: that same confidence to stand for what is right and godly,

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: even though I may be the only one holding fast

11
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: to your words of truth when society seeks to silence

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: my words and actions, when those in power look to

13
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: burn and destroy your truths, I thank you that your

14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: word and your decrees are eternal and indestructible. Whereas others

15
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: fold under the pressure of the mantle of purpose, I

16
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: will endure because You've anointed me to share your goodness

17
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: and to reach the lost. In whatever environment I'm in,

18
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: I declare that revival is on us and change flows

19
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: through us. In Jesus' name, Amen, Listening to these daily

20
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: prayers strengthens your relationship with God. Continue hearing from the

21
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Lord by listening to today's Bible in a Year, brought

22
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: to you by Bible in a Year dot.

23
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: Com burning the Scroll. In our last story, we learned

24
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: about the calling of Jeremiah. He was chosen as a

25
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: prophet to bring the people of Judah back to God.

26
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: Jeremiah proclaimed the word of God in the city's streets

27
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: and in front of the temple. Much of his words

28
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: fell on deaf ears, other words fell on angry ears,

29
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: and Jeremiah was forced to feel the blunt force of

30
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: people's clubs and fists. Now we learn about the word

31
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: of Jeremiah being recorded into a scroll and the word

32
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: of God spreading for more people to hear. However, whenever

33
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: truth is proclaimed, there are those in power who desire

34
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: to repress it. Inspired by the Book of Jeremiah and Second.

35
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: Kings, Hello, this is the Bible in a Year podcast

36
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 3: and I'm Jack Graham. In our last episode, we heard

37
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: of Jeremiah's call to be God's voice to the people

38
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: of Judah. Speaking God's truth can be lonely and often dangerous,

39
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: but Jeremiah was a man of courage, and even when

40
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: he was weary and tired, he still maintained the ministry

41
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: and the mission that God had given him. Today we'll

42
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: hear more of Jeremiah's life and ministry as he proclaimed

43
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: the word of God. His words will be recorded on

44
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: to a scroll preserved for future generations. But as we've

45
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: already seen, Jeremiah would face anger and hatred, and there

46
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: would be those trying to silence his voice and the

47
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: voice of God. So let's listen to the reading of

48
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: God's word.

49
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: Now, the righteous king Josiah had passed to be with

50
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: his father David. With him, the hope for repentant Judah

51
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: grew dim. Jeremiah wasted no time. Josiah's death would set

52
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: the North in motion, and it was only a matter

53
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: of time before Babylon descended upon God's people. Jeremiah proclaimed

54
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: God's call to repentance with urgency. He stood in the

55
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: court of the Lord's house and spoke to all the cities.

56
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: He waved his hands and raised his voice, shouting for

57
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: all to turn from their ways and come back to

58
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: God before it was too late. God wanted to give

59
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: Judah every possible chance to turn away from evil. Josiah

60
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: did his best to remove all the idols from the nation,

61
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: but he could not change their hearts. Only they could

62
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: personally choose to worship and love the Lord. Despite Jeremiah's

63
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: best efforts, the Lord's warnings were not received with gladness.

64
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: In fact, Jeremiah was often met with incredible disdain, especially

65
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: from the priests. One day, Jeremiah was finishing his sermon

66
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: in front of a large crowd calling for repentance. In

67
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: the middle of his proclamation, Jeremiah saw flurry of temple

68
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: guards come after him. Jeremiah tried to turn away, but

69
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: one of them grabbed him by the ankles. You shall die,

70
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: the priests yelled, You speak as God, saying that we

71
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: will be destroyed. Who has given you the right? The

72
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: priests were so busy focusing on them damaged egos that

73
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: they could not hear what Jeremiah was trying to tell them.

74
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: They detained him, and a large crowd gathered in the

75
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: courtyard of the temple to watch. When the king's judges

76
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: and officials heard about the commotion near the temple and

77
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: came down to settle the matter. This man deserves to die,

78
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: the priests spat, you have heard it yourself. He proclaims

79
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: destruction against Judah. The officials looked at Jeremiah and gestured

80
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 2: for him to defend himself. The temple guards let go

81
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: of him, and Jeremiah spoke again, saying, I say nothing

82
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: that has not been asked of me by God himself.

83
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: Mend your relationship with him, and he will relent. He

84
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: is kind and willing to spare us if we simply

85
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: turned back to him. Jeremiah paused, looking at their blank stairs.

86
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: He held up his hands and gestured for chains. But

87
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: if you truly see me as a threat, go ahead

88
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: and detain me. Do what seems good to you, but

89
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: know that you would be shedding the blood of an

90
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: innocent man. The officials mumbled amongst themselves. Jeremiah looked at

91
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: them and then back to the priests. It was tense

92
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: and Jeremiah did not know what would happen next. It

93
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: is clear, one of the officials began, that this man

94
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: does not deserve to die. He clearly speaks for the Lord,

95
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: as did our King Josiah before him. Jeremiah released to

96
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 2: sire of relief. He was more pleased that the people

97
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: were finally beginning to understand him. Time had passed and

98
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: Jeremiah could see a small revival blossoming. However, Jeremiah could

99
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: not shake the feeling that what the Lord was telling

100
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: him was for the future generations as well as the current.

101
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: So the Lord prompted his heart and told him to

102
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: write down all that he had told him. God's words

103
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: to Jeremiah would serve as a compass and comfort to

104
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: the captive people of Judah in the years to come.

105
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: So Jeremiah summoned Baruk, a trusted friend and scribe. Together

106
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: they wrote down all the Lord had shown Jeremiah. All

107
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: the warnings and calls for repentance were documented for future

108
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: generations to read. I am banned from entering the temple

109
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: because of the angered priests. Jeremiah said, you must go

110
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: and take this scroll to the people, read it to

111
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: them and pray. They turned to God. So Baruk took

112
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: the scroll into the temple before God and Man. He

113
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: declared the warnings of Jeremiah. Revival began to blossom even

114
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: more as the people listened. A fast was declared for

115
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: the people, and the priests began to soften towards the

116
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: warnings of God. The word of God began to heal

117
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: the broken hearts of Judah. People were beginning to run

118
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: back to God. They were hearing the voice of their shepherd,

119
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: as they once did in the wilderness. However, King Jehoiakim

120
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: was not like King Josiah. He was a prideful man.

121
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: He was calm and filled with quiet rage. Word came

122
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: to him that Baruk was reading the Word of God

123
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: and people were filling the temple with repentant hearts. His

124
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: servants went to retrieve the scroll written by Baruk and Jeremiah.

125
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: The servant brought the scroll back to the king. He

126
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: was brooding over the fire, watching the coals pop in

127
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: the fireplace. Read it to me, the king said impassively.

128
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: So the servant began to read Jeremiah's words. They spoke

129
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: of coming destruction, passed sins, and opportunities for love. The

130
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: words vexed Jehoiakim. He gestured for the servant to hand

131
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: him the scroll. Each page, after it was read, was

132
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: tossed into the fire one by one. The Word of

133
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: God was burnt. Little did Jehoiakim know the Word of

134
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: God is eternal and unwavering. There is no stopping truth.

135
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 2: Disaster would befall Jehoiakim. Disaster unlike anything he could imagine.

136
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: Jeremiah and Baruk created another copy of the scroll, it

137
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: was passed around to the people and read in the temple. However,

138
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: the anger of the king was felt, and people were

139
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: more reluctant to receive God's warnings. The blossoming evil retreated

140
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: for a moment back into its bud. For now, the

141
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: people remained distant from their first love.

142
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: As we opened God's word. Today, Israel's righteous king Josiah

143
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: has died. God had promised him that the demise of Judah,

144
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: their punishment for years of disobedience, would not come about

145
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: in his lifetime. But now with the king gaunt, the

146
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 3: prophet Jeremiah knew that judgment was sure and that time

147
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: was short. There was such an urgency to the calling

148
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: of this man. God's hand of judgment would not be

149
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 3: stayed forever, and Babylon was growing stronger from the north.

150
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: And though punishment would come, God desired to see those

151
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: in Judah turn from their ways to worship him once again.

152
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 3: Jeremiah understood the importance of his task, but those to

153
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: whom he proclaimed God's word were unmoved wors Yet they

154
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 3: were bothered by the mere mention of judgment or calamity

155
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: that would come upon Judah. Some of Jeremiah's staunchest opponents

156
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: were the priest men who were to guide God's people

157
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: and instruct them in his ways. Were content to let

158
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: the people do as they wished, telling them only what

159
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: they wanted to hear. When those who are supposedly ministers

160
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: of God refused to speak truth, disobedience, disorder, and disaster

161
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: are not far behind. This is also true in our

162
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: own generation. When ministers of the gospel or ministers of

163
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: the church do not speak God's truth, disaster is sure

164
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: to follow. The priests were so threatened, their egos so

165
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: damaged by Jeremiah that they wanted him killed and brought

166
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 3: him before the officials, calling for his death. Jeremiah's experience

167
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: foreshadowed what God's own son Jesus would one day experience

168
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 3: when he the way, the truth and the life came.

169
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: They put him on a cross and took his life.

170
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: The religious establishment always resists the true work of God.

171
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: Facing a martyr's fate, Jeremiah spoke to defend himself. He

172
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: hoped some of the people would hear the truth and

173
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 3: turn to God. So in Jeremiah twenty six, verses twelve

174
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 3: through fourteen, here is what we read. Then Jeremiah spoke

175
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: to all the officials and all the people, saying, the

176
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and this city.

177
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: All the words you have heard now therefore, men's your

178
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: ways and your deeds, and obey the voice of the Lord,

179
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: your God. And the Lord will relent of the disaster

180
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: that he has pronounced against you. But as for me, behold,

181
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 3: I am in your hands. Do with me as seems

182
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: good and right to you. Here was a bold, brave,

183
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: courageous man, committed and convicted always to obey God, even

184
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 3: if it meant death. With them these courageous words, the

185
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: officials were convinced that Jeremiah did not actually deserve to die,

186
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: that he truly was speaking for God. And slowly hearts

187
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: began to warm to the words that Jeremiah the Prophet spoke.

188
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: These were just small steps and just the beginning, but

189
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 3: there were seeds of renewal and revival. Jeremiah knew that

190
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: there were many who needed to hear his words, so

191
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: he and his scribe Barut, committed to writing the words

192
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: God gave him to speak. These words, the very words

193
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: of God, were not just for his generation, but for

194
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 3: those to come. The scroll with God's warnings was taken

195
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: into the temple by Baruk because Jeremiah was not welcomed there.

196
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: As more people heard the warnings, more hearts began to change.

197
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: Even the priests the religious establishment who had opposed Jeremiah

198
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: began to listen. There was hope for the future, but

199
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: Judah's king, Jehoicam, was filled with pride. He didn't want

200
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: to hear condemnation or of illumining disaster or judgment. He

201
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: had the scroll brought to him, and as it was read,

202
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: he had his servant burn it in hopes that God's

203
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: word would be snuffed out. How absolutely foolish of this

204
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: king to think that he could restrain or stop the

205
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: word of God. God will always find a way for

206
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: his word to penetrate every heart, and sometimes all he

207
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: needs are a few faithful people. Jeremiah and Baruk recorded

208
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: another scroll, and he went out to more people as

209
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 3: it was read in the temple. Still, the king's heart

210
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: was hard and the people feared this king. So Judah

211
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 3: continued on a path of destruction. We'll hear about that

212
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: in our next episode. Dear Lord, may we always be

213
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: faithful like Jeremiah and Baruk to deliver your word that

214
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: we would always believe. Leave your word, live your word,

215
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 3: and speak your word because your word is truth. May

216
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: we be willing to be courageous and confident that your

217
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: word will change lives in Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you
