This week we’ll be learning about two of the most important of the prophets. Both of them lived in the eighth century BC, after the nation of Israel was split into the northern kingdom (Israel) and the southern kingdom (Judah). Their message from God was to call the kings and the people back to God, and, when that didn’t happen, to warn them about the conquest of Judah by Babylon.
We actually studied Isaiah last year at Christmas, when we looked at his prophecies about Jesus, the Wonderful Savior. Jeremiah was also known as the Weeping Prophet, because he was really sad to see the people turn from God and be taken to Babylon as captives. He wrote not only the book of Jeremiah, but also the next book of the Bible, Lamentations. A Lament is a really sad song or story.
The main thing we will learn from these two prophets is that God’s Word, the Bible, is really special and unique. He promises that His Word will last forever. Although much of it was written more than 2000 years ago, it still speaks to us today in a very special way…it is the book that God wrote. We should be very thankful that God told us about Himself in the Bible, and we should read it regularly to learn as much about God as we can.
This would be a great week to bring a friend!
