Jeremiah 46:1-28  -  ‘Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He said, “I will rise, I will cover the earth, I will destroy cities and their inhabitants”’ (8).

Terrible things were happening! Things were going from bad to worse. What next?

Jeremiah 41:1-42:6  -  Terrible things were happening! Things were going from bad to worse. ‘What next?’ - The people were wondering where it would all end.

Is there any Word from the Lord? (Jeremiah 37-40)

Jeremiah 37:1-21  -  ‘Is there any Word from the Lord?’ - ‘Yes! There is a Word from the Lord’. The Word from the Lord wasn’t exactly what the king wanted to hear - ‘You will be handed over to the king of Babylon’ (17). God was going to bless His people - but they would …

Jeremiah 34-36

Jeremiah 34:1-22  -  ‘Freedom for the slaves’ - What a good idea! ‘Everyone agreed’. The slaves were ‘set free’. So far, so good!
