Weeping prophets…

We come to the Book written by the Old Testament prophet called the ‘Weeping Prophet’. This book contain the prophesies of a man called by God in his youth, or to be more precise, before He was even born. He was a heartbroken prophet with a heartbreaking message for his generation that was either ignored or often strongly opposed. He served the Lord during a dark time in the history of Israel warning God’s people that catastrophe would fall on the nation because of their idolatry and sin. He did live to see his prophecy fulfilled with the fall of Jerusalem to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and the exile of its citizens to Babylon. He also correctly foretold of the return of God’s people back to Jerusalem from exile and the restoration of the nation but did not live to see it happen. Jeremiah was given a divine purpose for his day and generation as is true for each of us in our day. Here is a man who paid a high price to speak clearly to his generation. May we all be courageous enough to do so for our generation also… Press on…
