Brooknom's world

Studying and thinking on what is said at times takes further investigation, to avoid coming to a false conclusion.

Why didn't the Chief Priest believe the Lord Jesus? Was it because they wanted power or they didn't pay attention to the old testament prophecies or both?

Are we focusing on what God is doing or what we can do

What does this mean exactly? and is this misunderstood?

Who was Theophilus, this question may or may not be relevant to our understanding. It is often said that the book of Acts could be renamed The Acts Of the Holy Ghost. We see much activity in this book and more context concerning  some doctrines that confuse many.

In this I share my thoughts on the inspiration and canonization of scripture.  Its definitely possible that I am incorrect in some of my assumptions, the one thing I'm 100% solid on is my trust in the scripture.

Intro to my study In the book of Acts 

“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

What Nation Will Escape Judgment Left to Themselves Given to Sin

How did the children of Israel go from being feared by the nations around them to being overthrown ?

Can you blame God when judgment comes after you have sinned against him? Will your judgment  affect only you?

When we sin we have to accept judgment if and when it comes.

Where will I go if I turn from God who has a better way?

After the emotional plea the Author of Lamentations gets to the point of seeing that there is still Hope in the Lord.

Lamentations is a very serious  book, if you pay attention you will catch the emotion surrounding the destruction of the southern kingdom. This Book in many ways  is a  warning to us all.

In his dialogue Jeremiah tries to comfort Judah, Ultimately he comes to the conclusion the God is no respecter of persons and his judgment once initiated will not be avoided.

Jeremiah cries as a result of viewing the destruction of the southern kingdom of Judah, knowing it could have all been avoided had they heeded the warning of God.

God deals a judgment blow to Israel that sees even the tabernacle violently destroyed.

I will admit to you while reading through the book of lamentations I see myself. It's not through the eyes of the author that I see myself but through the actions of the children of Israel.

will your ill advised deeds go unpunished?

We see the reasons for the issues that have befallen to the children of isreal. As God Promised them erlier on in their establishment, they violate God and find themselves low in the presence of their enemies .

I will not proclaim to understand relationships with any degree of mastery, but I will say Hollywood and entertainment has given us a false and unbiblical picture.

Zedekiah goes his own way, and the people defile Gods temple bringing about their judgment and captivity.

It would appear as though the sorrow of the downfall of the southern kingdom of Judah has hit Jeremiah pretty hard. In the first two verses he poses the question how did we get here, and where are the people we confided in.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi1VOR_sOYc&t=124s

How are we to navigate this present world with all of its trappings.
