Jeremiah and Lamentations

About this book

The prophet Jeremiah ministered during the waning decades of Judah. The people had rebelled against the Lord through their constant idolatry and injustice of all kinds--and they were about to experience God's wrath in the form of a conquering army. Yet even as Jeremiah described the short-term consequences of the people's rebellion against the Lord, he also spoke of God's long-term plan to provide salvation.In the twelve studies within, join John MacArthur on an exploration of this "weeping prophet"--so called because of the grief he expressed for his people--and the prophecies he faithfully related to them for more than fifty years.
