| Jeremiah, the Weeping Prophet |
Thoughts from Fall 2014
I have been studying Jeremiah the past few weeks for my GD
lesson. The following points have stood
out to me.
- Jeremiah was the prophet when Jerusalem, after years and years of warning, finally fell.
- There were multiple prophets (including Lehi) at this time prophesying the destruction of Jerusalem.
- There were false prophets among the true prophets.
- Lehi was called to leave Jerusalem before it was destroyed. His journey was difficult but not as difficult as those who remained in Jerusalem.
- Mulek and his people escaped at the time of destruction. It is interesting that because they left in haste they were less prepared (ie. no scriptures.)
- Jeremiah (the weeping prophet) was apparently called to stay behind and experience the destruction and captivity with the people.
I thought these were significant parallels to our time and worth pondering.
