(00:00) The historical context of Jeremiah.

(07:31) Jeremiah’s words are both haunting and hopeful. They depict the destruction of Jerusalem and the hope of Israel.

(10:05) Organizing the book of Jeremiah.

(14:23) Jeremiah 1.5 depicts Jeremiah’s premortal life and foreordination. The Lord knew him before he formed him.

(20:24) The Lord assures Jeremiah that he will be with him in his service. The Lord will be with us in our challenges as well.

(23:37) Jeremiah has a vision of enemies coming from the north around 627 B.C. The Scythian invasion into this region could have been viewed as a prophecy of Jeremiah that did not come to pass. Later, the Babylonians will fulfill this prophecy.

(29:35) Be careful to not put our expectations on blessings. Let the Lord do his work in his timing. Waiting upon the Lord to see how he fulfills his promises can be a trial of our faith.

(33:25) Jeremiah laments that people in his hometown want to kill him and feels like he has been deceived by God.

(35:57) An angel helped Nephi understand the visions that he had, showing that perhaps prophets receive revelation in parts and also need to have patience and faith.
