23-Jul-2025
The date was about 586 BC. God had destroyed Jerusalem, so there was a time of peace that came for Jeremiah. He had suffered under his own people because he had prophesied many times that the king of Babylon would succeed. Now the king of Babylon had put a man named Gedaliah in place as governor for Jerusalem. Jeremiah was released and stayed in Judah with Gedaliah. Here he was treated differently than by his own people. The enemy, Babylon, treated him well. He was given the choice to live where he wanted to—a choice that no other Israelite had a right to make. In this time of about seven months with Gedaliah as governor, Jeremiah had peace. Then a man named Ishmael, one of the royal family came to Jerusalem and killed Gedaliah in an attempt to takeover. But Jeremiah loved the LORD and the Word of God. He was a prophet who handled what God had told him carefully. And sometimes that is not
always easy to maintain.

Funeral Song; Lamentations 1-3
The city of Jerusalem was one of the proudest places in antiquity. There is no question that its stately status was a result of kings like David and his son Solomon. Now the city was a filthy mess, burned down by the rollicking Babylonians. It is to this change in status that Jeremiah breaks down...
