Questions:
1. “Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, i will raise up against ________.'" (51:1)

3. “And i will repay _____and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all the ______

It is interesting to compare 2 Kings 24-25 with Jeremiah 39 and 52.
In Chapter 51:6, Jeremiah says, “Flee from Babylon. Run for your life”. If you
had heard these words of Jeremiah, would you have obeyed? What about all the
warnings that have been given the people of New Orleans to get out of the City
before the hurricane arrives and some of them are not responding?
Jeremiah reminds them that “He (God) made the earth by His power. He founded
the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding”.
(51:15) Have we learned from Jeremiah that God’s way is the ONLY way to live?
Disobey Him and Judgment will come!
Why do you think someone decided to add Chapter 52? Do you think it was added
to emphasize what had already been said? Do you repeat instructions to your
children or others? If so, why do you do it?
Read Jeremiah 52:32 again. Does this remind you of the prophecy of another table
where the King of Kings will be present as foretold in Revelations?
In what way should my life change as a result of studying this passage of
Scripture?
Prayer:
Dear Lord, Many times we do not understand what we have read until you enlighten
us with the Holy Spirit’s interpretation to us. Help us to listen for that
special message
you have for us today.
Thank You for the Bible! Help us to do what you want us to dothis day! In Jesus’
name we pray. Amen
