Day 267: Jeremiah's Prophecies on Divine Judgement

In today's immerse Bible reading experience, we delve into the book of Jeremiah, where God conveys his divine judgment over various nations. Through the prophet Jeremiah, God describes his wrath likened to a cup of anger which all nations must drink. This episode underscores the extensive desolation faced by Jerusalem, Judah, Edom, Moab, Egypt, and other surrounding nations due to their disobedience and pride. The narrative includes vivid imagery of wars, terror, and divine retribution, while also offering a glimmer of hope with God’s promise to ultimately restore Israel and other nations. The reading concludes with the Lord's assurance to protect and eventually bring back his people from their exiles.

Prophets presents the First Testament prophets in groupings that represent four historical periods, beginning with the prophets who spoke before the fall of Israel’s northern kingdom (Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah), then before the fall of the southern kingdom (Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk), around the time of Jerusalem’s destruction (Jeremiah, Obadiah, Ezekiel), and after the return from exile (Haggai, Zechariah, Joel, Malachi).

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
