God used the Babylonian empire, under the leadership of King Nebuchadnezzar, to conquer Judah, and lead the Jewish people captive to Babylon during three deportations, 605 B.C., 597 B.C., and 586 B.C. God determined that the Jewish people would remain in captivity for 70 years (cf. Jer. 25:11; 29:10) for failure to adhere to the mandated land Sabbaths that occurred over 490 years (2 Chron. 36:21). When the 70 years were completed, God began His sovereign plan to bring His people back to the Promised Land and commence building the second temple (2 Chron. 36:22-23; Jer. 29:10; Ezra 1).

Unfortunately for Jeremiah he is in one way a representative for the people on the reserve. This meaning that he feared that his people would be penalized if he didn’t go on with these people's ideas and plans. Although Jeremiah is wanted by the Mayor and the Loken Group for their own benefit, Jeremiah repeatedly turns down their extra incentives because he knows that if he was someone

Ronald Youngblood wrote The Heart of the Old Testament. His goal, in this book, was to show the human race that the Old Testament is about the same as the New Testament, and that it shouldn’t be treated differently. There are nine themes that Youngblood names that form the column of the Old Testament. He then talks about these nine themes of the Old Testament and support them with scriptures from the New Testament.
Jason Murray Ms. Manning Scripture January 17th, 2017 Prophecy Project Elisha is the son of Shaphat and Elijah's successor. Elisha is well known throughout most of Israel because he heals and helps many different people, but his major audience is the Israelites. Elisha’s message to the people is to believe in God and those who believe in Him are rewarded. Elisha shares many similarities to Elijah, which would be expected, because Elisha is Elijah’s servant.
Therefore, it is very important to know the world and the background such book in few thousands ago. Author As can be seen in Jonah 1:1, I believe the writer was Jonah himself. The other reference can be found in 2 Kings 14:25.
The book of Jonah is a short narrative packed with big ideas and lessons inside of it. It tells the story of the prophet Jonah, who was called by God to speak prophecy to the people of Nineveh. Instead of answering the call, Jonah ran away. In the midst of his fear, Jonah boarded a ship leaving for Tarshish. The voyage is cut short by a storm in which Jonah told his fellow men to cast him into the sea so the storm will pass.
Jonah was born in a town called Gath-hepher in Zebulun, located a few miles from Nazareth and is the son of Amitta. He held the position of being a Prophet disciple and a servant of God from the Kingdom of Israel. Jonah’s life and ministry was around 793–753 B.C., during the reign of Jeroboam II, the evil king of Northern Israel. He is known as the prophet who was disobedient and selfish because he did not carry out God’s mission that he was appointed to do. Two major events that occurred in his life began with his disobedience that led him to be swallowed by a great fish and then right after he delivered a powerful sermon to the People of Nineveh.
Nahum lived during the time of King Hezekiah and the great prophet Isaiah. God sent Nahum to Nineveh to let the people know He was going the destroy Nineveh. Nineveh was evil, and vile. Jonah was trying to warn them of their rebelliousness. They finally did listen to Jonah and repented but that was short lived.
INTRODUCTION The book of Jonah is categorized as a prophetic narrative but one that is different from the rest. Unlike other prophetic narratives where the emphasis is on “the prophet’s faithfulness to God’s call, and God’s approval and blessing,” we find a rebellious prophet confronting God in the book of Jonah. Nonetheless, the book has a profound message the author intends to convey to its readers which this study will uncover. Thus, the objective of this exposition paper is to understand Jonah 1 in the light of the overarching theological message of the book.
He never lost hope for the people to change within. Jeremiah used his prayers, and his love within to demonstrates the rights for the people. He demonstrates this through his love in prayer, opening and freeing his mind and heart to Yahweh, allowing him to speak through him to reach out to the people. Jeremiah was always willing to reflect what he was feeling and was not afraid to share his thoughts.
Do you think Jeremiah was the most important prophet of all time? Jeremiah lived around 600BC and he lived in Judah in the southern kingdom. In his time people were worshiping false gods, not caring for the poor, and bragging about their money. A lot of bad stuff huh? So when they did this they were breaking their covenant with god.
Jeremiah’s Call Experience Jeremiah was chosen by God, before he was even born. God will always choose the people in which he wants to serve through, before they are even born, or know that God has a grip on their lives. When Jeremiah was just a though in his father’s head, God was forming the idea of him. Hilkiah was the father of Jeremiah. He was a Levitical priest, Jeremiah was from a small village of Anathoth, which is about 3 miles northeast of Jerusalem in the territory of Benjamin.
