How are we supposed to act when things go wrong? Especially ifwe had nothing to do to cause the problems that plague us? How can we help others who are going through a hard time?

I have answers to these questions and more in this lesson.

First, the lesson goes into a little bit of history to set the stage. For centuries God has been patient, but now things are fallingapart.

After repeatedly sending prophets to His people to remind themof the covenant He made with them where they accepted His salvation and promised to obey His commands—they didn’t respond.

The time for judgment had come for the Northern Kingdom whenAssyria took them into captivity and now the time is almost up for the Southern Kingdom.

The history gets VERY COMPLEX here and I created an infographic that is freely available to you at www.Bible805.com that will explain the final four kings and how they were related. Even for many of us who have read this section repeatedly, it can be a little complex trying to keep them all straight and I think this infographic will help.

After the history, we’ll look at how Jeremiah preached starting during the reign of the good king Josiah, through the final four kings of Judah, and after the land was conquered Babylon when he wrote the book ofLamentations.

Obediah, may or may not have been written at the same time. Thebook talks about the fall of Edom, the nation south of Israel, populated by the descendants of Jacob’s brother.

Regardless of the exact timing, the theme is the same in all three books—how to act when God is judging His people and their world is falling apart.

 The message is timeless as we face challenges in our world and personal lives.
