Jeremiah 25-26

January 31, 2024 Book by Book Jeremiah 25-26 This week, we read the Lord’s warnings for those who are listening to the #FalseProphets. We also read about Jeremiah’s trial. This trial is most likely a response to Jeremiah’s sermon against the nation and leaders in ch. 7. Jeremiah’s case is simply, “The Lord called me and compelled me to speak.” The elders spare his life. But not every prophet is spared as we learn about the fate of Uriah.  Outline 02:21 - Judah’s Refusal to Listen to the Prophets 25.1–7 05:19 - Seventy Years of Punishment 25.8–14 15:00 - The Cup of God’s Wrath 25.15–29 22:39 - God’s Coming Judgment on All Nations 25.30–38 The Temple Sermon and Its Consequences 26.1–24 28:30 - Summary of the Sermon 26.1–6 31:23 - Arrest and Trial of Jeremiah 26.7–19 37:30 - Arrest and Slaying of Uriah the Prophet 26.20–23 40: 34 - The Release of Jeremiah 26.24 Outline from F.
