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 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: word and your decrees are eternal and indestructible.

Jeremiah proclaimed the word of 34 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: God in the city's streets and in front of the temple. 35 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 3: Much of his words fell on deaf ears, other words 36 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: fell on angry ears, and Jeremiah was forced to feel 37 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: the blunt force of people's clubs and fists. Now we 38 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 3: learn about the word of Jeremiah being recorded into a 39 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: scroll and the word of God spreading for more people 40 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: to hear. However, whenever truth is proclaimed, there are those 41 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 3: in power who desire to repress it inspired by the 42 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: Book of Jeremiah and Second Kings. 43 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 4: Hello, this is the Bible in a Year podcast and 44 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 4: I'm Jack Graham. In our last episode, we heard of 45 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 4: Jeremiah's call to be God's voice to the people of Judah. 46 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 4: Speaking God's truth can be lonely and often dangerous, but 47 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 4: Jeremiah was a man of courage, and even when he 48 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 4: was weary and tired, he still maintained the ministry and 49 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 4: the mission that God had given him. Today we'll hear 50 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: more of Jeremiah's life and ministry as he proclaimed the 51 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 4: word of God. His words will be recorded onto a 52 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 4: scroll preserved for future generations. But as we've already seen, 53 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: Jeremiah would face anger and hatred, and there would be 54 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: those trying to silence his voice and the voice of God. 55 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 4: So let's listen to the reading of God's word. 56 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 3: Now, the righteous king Josiah had passed to be with 57 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: his father David. With him, the hope for repentant Judah 58 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 3: grew dim. Jeremiah wasted no time. Josiah's death would set 59 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 3: the North in motion, and it was only a matter 60 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: of time before Babylon descended upon God's people. Jeremiah proclaimed 61 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: God's call to repentance with urgency. He stood in the 62 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: court of the Lord's house and spoke to all the cities. 63 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: He waved his hands and raised his voice, shouting for 64 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: all to turn from their ways and come back to 65 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 3: God before it was too late. God wanted to give 66 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 3: Judah every possible chance to turn away from evil. Josiah 67 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: did his best to remove all the idols from the nation, 68 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: but he could not change their hearts. Only they could 69 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 3: personally choose to worship and love the Lord. Despite Jeremiah's 70 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 3: best efforts, the Lord's warnings were not received with gladness. 71 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 3: In fact, Jeremiah was often met with incredible disdain, especially 72 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: from the priests. One day, Jeremiah was finishing his sermon 73 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: in front of a large crowd calling for repentance. In 74 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 3: the middle of his proclamation, Jeremiah saw a flurry of 75 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: temple guards come after him. Jeremiah tried to turn away, 76 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 3: but one of them grabbed him by the ankles. You 77 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: shall die, the priests yelled, You speak as God, saying 78 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 3: that we will be destroyed. Who has given you the right? 79 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: The priests were so busy focusing on their damaged egos 80 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: that they could not hear what Jeremiah was trying to 81 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: tell them. They detained him, and a large crowd gathered 82 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: in the courtyard of the temple to watch. When the 83 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: king's judges and officials heard about the commotion near the 84 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: temple and came down to settle the matter. This man 85 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: deserves to die, the priests spat. You have heard it yourself. 86 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 3: He proclaims destruction against Judah. The officials looked at Jijeremiah 87 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 3: and gestured for him to defend himself. The temple guards 88 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: let go of him, and Jeremiah spoke again, saying, I 89 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: say nothing that has not been asked of me by 90 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 3: God himself. Mend your relationship with him, and he will relent. 91 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 3: He is kind and willing to spare us if we 92 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 3: simply turn back to him. Jeremiah paused, looking at their 93 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: blank stairs. He held up his hands and gestured for chains. 94 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 3: But if you truly see me as a threat, go 95 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 3: ahead and detain me. Do what seems good to you, 96 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: but know that you would be shedding the blood of 97 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: an innocent man. The officials mumbled amongst themselves. Jeremiah looked 98 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 3: at them and then back to the priests. It was 99 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: tense and Jeremiah did not know what would happen next. 100 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: It is clear one of the officials began that this 101 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: man does not deserve to die. He clearly speaks for 102 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 3: the Lord, as did our King Josiah before him. Jeremiah 103 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: released to sire of relief. He was more pleased that 104 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: the people were fine beginning to understand him. Time had 105 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: passed and Jeremiah could see a small revival blossoming. However, 106 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: Jeremiah could not shake the feeling that what the Lord 107 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: was telling him was for the future generations as well 108 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 3: as the current. So the Lord prompted his heart and 109 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: told him to write down all that he had told him. 110 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: God's words to Jeremiah would serve as a compass and 111 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 3: comfort to the captive people of Judah in the years 112 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: to come. So Jeremiah summoned Baruk, a trusted friend and scribe. 113 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: Together they wrote down all the Lord had shown Jeremiah. 114 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: All the warnings and calls for repentance were documented for 115 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: future generations to read. I am banned from entering the 116 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 3: temple because of the angered priests. Jeremiah said, you must 117 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: go and take this scroll to the people, read it 118 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 3: to them and pray. They turned to God. So Beruke 119 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: took the scroll into the temple before God and man. 120 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: He declared the warnings of Jeremiah. Revival began to blossom 121 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 3: even more as the people listened. A fast was declared 122 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: for the people, and the priests began to soften towards 123 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: the warnings of God. The word of God began to 124 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 3: heal the broken hearts of Judah. People were beginning to 125 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 3: run back to God. They were hearing the voice of 126 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: their shepherd, as they once did in the wilderness. However, 127 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 3: King Jehoiakim was not like King Josiah. He was a 128 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: prideful man. He was calm and filled with quiet rage. 129 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 3: Word came to him that Baruk was reading the word 130 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 3: of God and people were filling the temple with repentant hearts. 131 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 3: His servants went to retrieve the scroll written by Baruk 132 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: and Jeremiah. The servant brought the scroll back to the king. 133 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 3: He was brooding over the fire, watching the coals pop 134 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 3: in the fireplace. Read it to me, the king said impassively. 135 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: So the servant began to read Jeremiah's words. They spoke 136 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: of coming destruction, past sins, and opportunities for love. The 137 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: words vexed Jehoiakim. He gestured for the servant to hand 138 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 3: him the scroll. Each page, after it was read, was 139 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: tossed into the fire one by one. The word of 140 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 3: God was burnt. Little did Jehoiakim know the word of 141 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: God is eternal and unwavering. There is no stopping truth. 142 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 3: Disaster would befall Jehoiakim. Disaster unlike anything he could imagine. 143 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: Jeremiah and Baruk created another copy of the scroll. It 144 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: was passed around to the people and read in the temple. However, 145 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: the anger of the king was felt, and people were 146 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 3: more reluctant to receive God's warnings. The blossoming evil retreated 147 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 3: for a moment back into its bud. For now, the 148 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: people remained distant from their first love. 149 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 4: As we open God's word today, Israel's righteous king Josiah 150 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 4: has died. God had promised him that the demise of Judah, 151 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 4: their punishment for years of disobey idiots, would not come 152 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 4: about in his lifetime. But now with the king gaunt, 153 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 4: the prophet Jeremiah knew that judgment was sure and that 154 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 4: time was short. There was such an urgency to the 155 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 4: calling of this man. God's hand of judgment would not 156 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 4: be stayed forever, and Babylon was growing stronger from the north. 157 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: And though punishment would come, God desired to see those 158 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 4: in Judah turn from their ways to worship him once again. 159 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 4: Jeremiah understood the importance of his task, but those to 160 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 4: whom he proclaimed God's were unmoved wors yet they were 161 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 4: bothered by the mere mention of judgment or calamity that 162 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 4: would come upon Judah. Some of Jeremiah's staunchious opponents were 163 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 4: the priest men who were to guide God's people and 164 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 4: instruct them in his ways, were content to let the 165 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 4: people do as they wished, telling them only what they 166 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 4: wanted to hear. When those who are supposedly ministers of 167 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 4: God refused to speak truth, disobedience, disorder, and disaster are 168 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 4: not far behind. This is also true in our own generation. 169 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 4: When ministers of the Gospel or ministers of the church 170 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 4: do not speak God's truth, disaster is sure to follow. 171 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 4: The priests were so threatened, their egos so damaged by 172 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 4: Jeremiah that they wanted him killed and brought him before 173 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 4: the officials calling for his death. Jeremiah's experience foreshadowed what 174 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 4: God's own son Jesus would one day experience when he 175 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 4: the way, the Truth, and the life came, they put 176 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 4: him on a cross and took his life. The religious 177 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 4: establishment always resists the true work of God. Facing a 178 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 4: martyr's fate, Jeremiah spoke to defend himself. He hoped some 179 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 4: of the people would hear the truth and turn to God. 180 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 4: So in Jeremiah twenty six, verses twelve through fourteen, here 181 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 4: is what we read. Then, Jeremiah spoke to us, all 182 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 4: the officials and all the people, saying, the Lord sent 183 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: me to prophesy against this house and this city. All 184 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 4: the words you have heard. Now, therefore, mend your ways 185 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 4: and your deeds, and obey the voice of the Lord, 186 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 4: your God. And the Lord will relent of the disaster 187 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 4: that he has pronounced against you. But as for me, behold, 188 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 4: I am in your hands. Do with me as seems 189 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 4: good and right to you. Here was a bold, brave, 190 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 4: courageous man, committed and convicted always to obey God, even 191 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 4: if it meant death. With these courageous words, the officials 192 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 4: were convinced that Jeremiah did not actually deserve to die, 193 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 4: that he truly was speaking for God, and slowly hearts 194 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 4: began to warm to the words that Jeremiah the prophet spoke. 195 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 4: These were just small steps and just the beginning, but 196 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: there were seeds of renewal and revival. Jeremiah knew that 197 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 4: there were many who needed to hear his words, so 198 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 4: he and his script Barut, committed to writing the words 199 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 4: God gave him to speak. These words, the very words 200 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: of God, were not just for his generation, but for 201 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 4: those to come. The scroll with God's warnings was taken 202 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 4: into the temple by Baruk because Jeremiah was not welcomed there. 203 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 4: As more people heard the warnings, more hearts began to change. 204 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 4: Even the priest the religious establishment who had opposed Jeremiah 205 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 4: began to listen. There was hope for the future. But 206 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 4: Judas king Jehoicam, was filled with pride. He didn't want 207 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 4: to hear condemnation or of illumining, disaster or judgment. He 208 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 4: had the scroll brought to him, and as it was read, 209 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 4: he had his servant burned it in hopes that God's 210 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 4: word would be snuffed out. How absolutely foolish of this 211 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 4: king to think that he could restrain or stop the 212 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 4: word of God. God will always find a way for 213 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 4: his word to penetrate every heart, and sometimes all he 214 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 4: needs are a few faithful people. Jeremiah and Baruk recorded 215 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 4: another scroll and it went out to more people as 216 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 4: it was read in the temple. Still, the king's heart 217 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 4: was hard and the people feared this king. So Judah 218 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 4: continued on a path of destruction. We'll hear about that 219 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 4: in our next episode. Dear Lord, may we always be 220 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 4: faithful like Jeremiah and Baruch to deliver your word, that 221 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: we would always believe your word, live your word, and 222 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 4: speak your word because your word is truth. May we 223 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 4: be willing to be courageous and confident that your word 224 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 4: will change lives in Jesus' name.
