Jeremiah 42–52; Lamentations
55-slide PowerPoint by Debra Woods
Introduction
The remnant of the people of Judah, who were not taken captive by the Babylonian army, sought the Lord’s counsel concerning whether they should go to Egypt. Through Jeremiah, the Lord promised that the remnant would be safe if they stayed in the land of Judah, but if the people disobeyed the Lord and went to Egypt, they would be destroyed. Jeremiah lamented the destruction of Jerusalem and the affliction of its people. But even in his grief, Jeremiah testified of the Lord’s compassion. Jeremiah pled with the Lord to forgive the people of Judah and turn them back to Him.
