The prophetic books of Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel mark a radical change in the life of God’s people, Israel. Starting with Jeremiah, the Babylonian exile is predicted, and then experienced. Daniel is taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar during Jeremiah’s ministry, and after the 586 BC fall of Jerusalem, Ezekiel is called by God to minister to Israel in exile. Indeed, these prophets were aware of each others’ ministries, and God’s voice in them. Twice Ezekiel refers to Daniel (14:14 and 28:3), and Daniel mentions Jeremiah’s prophecies (Daniel 9) as a source of his own prophetic ministry.
Reading Jeremiah should be a learning experience par excellence, as getting clear on all its details and references - seeking to understand the discoveries of biblical archaeology that relate to it, and all the history of Israel, including the two kingdoms, their kings and their successes and failures, their faithfulness and their apostasy - sets one up to understand both the whole progression of scripture from Genesis to Revelation, and God’s plan of salvation set in place ”before the foundation of the world.”
Listen and read with a mind open to God’s voice. Search the scriptures to answer the questions you encounter, search the archaeology to display the truth of God’s word verified, search the language to understand better the nuances of God’s meaning. Read/listen carefully, reverently and inquisitively, and God will show you amazing things!
You have HIS promise on that!
