What Was Jeremiah's Call?
There were several factors regarding Jeremiah’s call, which he felt differed from other prophets (Tullock, & McEntire, 2012). First, Jeremiah felt that his sole purpose from his very beginning was to be a prophet of God. Also, Jeremiah was a young man when he realized God’s purpose for his life. The next interesting fact about Jeremiah’s call was that he was called by God to prophesy to more than just the Jews. Moreover, God promised Jeremiah that wherever he was, or whatever message he proclaimed that God’s presence and protection were forever with him.

While God promised protection to Jeremiah if he presented God’s message, the responsibility was significant (Wilcox, 2014). Consider that God told Jeremiah that he had set him over countries

    When it comes to the millennial reign of Christ in Revelation chapter 20 the many different perspectives and viewpoints based on the timing of what this event is. “What is the purpose of the millennial kingdom? For one thing, it will be the fulfillment of God 's promises to Israel and to Christ (Ps 2; Luke 1:30-33). Our Lord reaffirmed them to His own Apostles (Luke 22:29-30).

    Jeremiah is the prophet of the old testament that I choose. He lived in the southern Kingdom of Judah and was alive about 600 BC before Jesus was born. He spread the message that all people were equal and that the people of Israel should worship God and never worship strange gods. He tried to explain to them that God loved them and would protect them, but the people of Israel didn’t listen. He continued preaching the word of God and telling people that God was good in all ways.…

    God had a unique message to convey to His people. This message had to be delivered in a manner that maintained the credibility of what He had to say. If we wanted to convey a message of such importance, we would want to give the message ourselves to make sure the information remained truthful so others would believe and have faith in it, right? God too wanted his message to remain reliable. Towns stated, “Therefore, God gives the message and the human messengers tell everyone the message came from God” (p.4).…

    In the novel Peace like a River, Leif Enger creates the character Jeremiah Land as a Christ figure in order to convey the character’s role as a person whose life is spent serving others. Throughout the novel, there are many miracles performed, and some seem to obviously connect with Jeremiah. The intent of making Jeremiah a Christ figure comes to fulfillment by the novel’s end, when Jeremiah sacrifices his life to save his son, Reuben. In the creation of Jeremiah as a Christ figure, Enger reminds the reader of the importance of self-abnegation and apprehension for others, attitudes that make the pains of human experience tolerable.…

    Since the Book of Jonah does not have details about the story background, nor does it have a complete ending, it is like an independent story that even without it would not affect much about the Israel’s history. Instead of a true story of Prophet Jonah, some scholars would regard it as a tale or a work of imagination to teach the Israel about God. The name “Jonah” means “dove” in Hebrew, and it is commonly accepted as the representation the “Jewish people as a whole”. It is possible that the Book of Jonah is a “symbolic writing” which only focuses on delivering the meaning of the story itself. Since the Book of Jonah is one of the twelve prophetic books, by using Jonah as a symbol of the Israel, I think the entire story of Jonah is the real prophecy in disguised in the Book of Jonah. The prophecy about the great city of Nineveh works as an instrument to show how Jonah responses to God’s commands and God’s mercy to gentiles. My thesis is that the Book of Jonah is a reminder of God’s love, patience and salvation towards the Israel and the gentiles through God’s consistent patience and mercy towards Jonah and the Nineveh city in the story of…

    Thus saith the lord is directly quoted from Jeremiah 29. This whole portion alludes back to the prophets of the lord going around and spreading the word of the gospel which shows how King feels about the spreading of the word. He obviously feels that the word he is spreading is ethical in the fact that it brings people together in unison and that it is the way to salvation. He also mentions the apostle Paul proving that he was alluding to the bible and those days.…

    After Bethany delivers the pie, Reuben sits and listens to Jeremiah’s guitar playing and thinks, “Fair is whatever God wants to do”(294). Reuben accepts that God is in control and is faithful that God will be fair to him because it is “whatever God wants to do.” Reuben is like the median example of faith in this story. He tries to figure out his faith and what he believes, and whether if he should use his brain rather than his faithful heart. But in the end, he proceeds to grow in faith throughout the book and comes to realize that God is in control, and his true character along grows along with his faith.…

    “Jeremiah's message was a mixture of judgment on the sinful nation of Judah; and hope, after judgment and exile, of a new covenant relationship. Comparing the parallels between Judah and the spiritually low tide of our nation today, what message and teaching could be drawn from Jeremiah's portrayal of God as the Divine Potter? In a world fractured by religious, social, political, and culture tensions, how might we Christ Followers relate Paul's concept of "When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son..." (Galatians 4:4 ESV) to an upside down 21st century world?”…

    Throughout the history of Israel we can see the hand of God intervening in shaping of a nation which was chosen to carry out God’s will. All the events, whether it was Egypt’s frustration in trying to prevent the Hebrew people from leaving the land to worship their God, or Canaan’s surrender to Joshua are seen in history as divine intervention from God. “In other words, human politics could succeed only to the extent that they accorded with God’s will.”(Old Testament Survey pg.423).…

    The Visions of Ezekiel

    God choses whomever He wants to give His messages to His people. In the Old Testament, God chose very specific people to give His message to Israel. Ezekiel, was a great man of God and very faithful to Him. The messages he received from God were intense and different than other prophets of Israel. The Lord allowed Ezekiel to have visions of which he traveled through, and heard the voice of the Lord. Ezekiel was obedient to the visions and listened to God’s voice and what He instructed him to do, no matter what the consequence was or how strange, terrifying, weird the message may have been for Israel. These visions can even be applied today in the modern day church and show how much God loves His people despite repetitive sin.…
