Week 80 Day 1: Sent and Seized

Forward

We will continue to read the Book of Jeremiah this week. Jeremiah was mocked by everyone, with terror all around, and all his friends were waiting for him to slip.

This is how the enemies of God treat His servants. It is a reality Jeremiah had to face in that those who pronounces God’s word would be persecuted and brushed aside by all. Faith will not divert trouble for us. Instead, it forces us to face the problems of the world. Our emotion goes from anger to revenge and then becomes joyous in worshiping. Remember the promises God gave us and believe that He is with us forever. There’s no wisdom in those who persecute and they will be humiliated.

May you all be renewed in God’s word each day!

2022-2023 Week 80 Day 1: Jealous and Avenging

### Question Why was Nineveh being judged? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + A prophecy concerning Nineveh. + The Lord is a jealous and avenging God. The Lord is slow to anger but great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. + The Lord is good but with an overwhelming flood he will make an end of Nineveh; He will pursue His foes into the realm of darkness. + Nineveh is like a pool whose water is draining away. + Woe to the city of blood. ### Meditation: My Story + **Identity** - Although they have allies and are numerous, they will be destroyed and pass away. Looking at the world surrounding me, how do I see God's plan unfolding?

2022-2023 Week 80 Day 2: Judah king Manasseh

### Question Under what circumstance did Manasseh turn back to the Lord? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + Manasseh reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon. + In his distress Manasseh sought the favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. And when he prayed to Him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God. + Manasseh got rid of the foreign gods and removed the image from the temple of the Lord, as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and he threw them out of the city. Then he restored the altar of the Lord and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings on it, and told Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. + Amon he reigned in Jerusalem two years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. + Josiah reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, purged Judah and Jerusalem of high places, Asherah poles and idols, and restored the temple of the Lord. + Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the Lord that had been given through Moses. Then the king called together all the people from the least to the greatest. He read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the Lord. + Then he had everyone in Jerusalem and Benjamin pledge themselves to the covenant of God. ### Meditation: My Story + **Integrity** - In his distress Manasseh sought the favor of the Lord and humbled before Him and God saved him. How do I view God's discipline? Complain or repent? + **Integrity** - What did Manasseh do after he repented? What did I do? What is true repentance?

2022-2023 Week 80 Day 3: Day of Wrath

### Question To whom did Zephaniah prophesy to? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah during the reign of Josiah king of Judah. + The Lord will stretch out His hand against Judah and against all who live in Jerusalem. He will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place. + The day of the Lord is near, He will punish the officials and the king's sons. + That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress, and a day of battle cry against the fortified cities and against corner towers. ### Meditation: My Story + **Identity** - Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the Lord's wrath. What do I value the most? What do I lean on?

2022-2023 Week 80 Day 4: Deliverance after Judgment

### Question What happens to God's people after His judgment on them? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + Advised those who are humble of the land, who do what He commands, see righteousness, seek humility; perhaps they will be sheltered on the day of the Lord's anger. + Canaan, land of the Philistines, I will destroy you, and none will be left. + Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah-a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. + You Cushites, too, will be slain by my sword. I will stretch out my hand against the north and destroy Assyria, leaving Nineveh utterly desolate and dry as the desert. + Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled! + Israel, wait for me, declares the Lord, for the day I will stand up to testify. + The Lord will purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve Him shoulder to shoulder. + Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem! ### Meditation: My Story + **Integrity** - The Lord points out the four sins of Jerusalem: obeys no one, accepts no correction, does not trust in the Lord, does not draw near to God. Reflect on myself, do I listen to God or myself? Do I accept correction when straying away? Do I lean on Him or on my own ability? Am I close to God and looking up to His glory?

2022-2023 Week 80 Day 5: Judah in Exile

### Question How did Judah go into exile? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + Josiah celebrated the Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem. He provided the sacrifices to the people and the priests and Levites. + Necho king of Egypt went up and Josiah marched out to meet him in battle. Josiah would not listen to what Necho had said at God's command. Archers shot King Josiah and he died. + Jehoahaz son of Josiah and became king in Jerusalem in place of his father. The king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem. + Jehoiakim reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked him and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon. + Jehoiachin reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and brought him to Babylon, together with articles of value from the temple of the Lord, and he made Jehoiachin's uncle, Zedekiah, king over Judah and Jerusalem. + Zedekiah reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke the word of the Lord. God gave them all into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, carried them to Babylon. ### Meditation: My Story + **Identity** - What role did the Babylonians play in the history of Israel? Who was in control of history? How do I view the events in my country and around the world? + **Identity** - The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. Why did He put Judah into exile? How do I understand His compassion and grace?

2022-2023 Week 80 Day 6: Sent by God

### Question How was Jeremiah sent by God? {% include BibleLinks2022.html %} ### Meditation: God's Story + In the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. + Before the Lord formed Jeremiah in the womb He knew him, before he was born He set him apart; He appointed him as a prophet to the nations. + Jeremiah saw the branch of an almond tree and a pot that is boiling, tilting from the north. + From the north disaster will be poured out on all who live in the land. + The Lord commanded Jeremiah: "Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you." ### Meditation: My Story + **Fidelity** - When the Lord sent Jeremiah, He told him not to be terrified, for He had made him a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall. Although people went against Jeremiah, they could not overcome him because God was with him. Appreciate how God protects His servants and be encouraged and be filled with confidence in serving Him.
