Caption transcript for Jeremiah: “Ruin and Renewal” (7/9)

• 00:01 David Hart: On today's program, we see how Jeremiah faced opposition for his messages of warning to Judah, but we also
• 00:10 see a message of renewal and future salvation, coming up next on "Our Jewish Roots."
• 00:14 ♪♪♪
• 00:19 narrator: In the 6th century BC one man stood alone against
• 00:23 the pervading wickedness of God's people
• 00:26 in the land of Judah.
• 00:28 The prophet Jeremiah was chosen by the Lord to warn of pending
• 00:33 judgment that would come at the hands of the Babylonians.
• 00:37 Visions of an exile left him heartbroken and in tears.
• 00:42 But Jeremiah remained faithful to his calling and recorded a
• 00:46 message that would speak to generations yet to come.
• 00:51 Standing tall, with faith in God,
• 00:54 he understood that the days were coming and there was hope over
• 01:00 the horizon.
• 01:05 David: Thank you so much for joining us today.
• 01:06 I'm David Hart.
• 01:08 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
• 01:09 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: I am Jeffrey Seif.
• 01:11 David: I don't like this theme today.
• 01:12 It's not hope but it's trouble that's going on.
• 01:17 Kirsten: Trouble for the messenger.
• 01:18 David: Yes.
• 01:19 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Yes, trouble for the world.
• 01:21 It's not always easy, is it?
• 01:22 Kirsten: Well, they--he's a priest, right?
• 01:25 He's a--he is a Jewish priest and they didn't like what he was
• 01:29 saying and, I mean, physical beatings?
• 01:32 He went through a lot, didn't he?
• 01:34 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Well, it's great to be a priest.
• 01:35 It's not good to be a priest when no one's involved in the
• 01:37 religion, you know?
• 01:39 It's kind of lonely, if no one's coming to church.
• 01:42 And they're antagonistic toward him,
• 01:45 not just dismissive.
• 01:47 Kirsten: Right, and he was in stocks.
• 01:49 They threw him in a cistern and maybe it was,
• 01:52 like, easier down in that cistern that he didn't
• 01:53 have to deal with everything.
• 01:55 He just kind of had some peace and quiet maybe.
• 01:57 I don't know, I'm trying to look at the positive.
• 01:59 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Today, people get mad at the preacher
• 02:00 and just leave.
• 02:02 There they got mad at the preacher and they really vented
• 02:04 their fury on him.
• 02:05 And that's what happens when you make the king mad.
• 02:07 You know, if I offend a parishioner,
• 02:09 well, "I'm going to another church," but when you offend the
• 02:11 king, there are repercussions,
• 02:14 and he took on the powers that be.
• 02:16 He was not afraid.
• 02:18 David: We're gonna hear more from you in a little bit,
• 02:19 but right now let's hear about that judgment on Judah.
• 02:25 narrator: The warnings had come over many years: a seething
• 02:28 pot poured out upon Judah, the shattering of a nation and its
• 02:33 sinful leaders.
• 02:35 narrator: The Lord had spoken clearly to Jeremiah,
• 02:38 and it was then transcribed by Jeremiah's steadfast scribe,
• 02:42 Baruch.
• 02:44 It was a message that had been faithfully recorded,
• 02:47 but ignored by the faithless.

• 04:29 [speaking in Hebrew]
• 04:39 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: What we call the book of Jeremiah really
• 04:42 is a collection of documents.
• 04:44 It's an anthology, a variety of Jeremiah texts are assembled
• 04:48 together, not always in chronological order,
• 04:51 and this has resulted in some confusion.
• 04:55 The basic storyline, however, is rather simple.
• 04:59 For quite some time, the people of Judah have forsaken truth.
• 05:04 Deceit has run rampant, immorality,
• 05:07 all kinds of social and spiritual problems.
• 05:12 Truth was lacking entirely.
• 05:14 Those that spoke the truth were put to death,
• 05:17 and Jeremiah was gonna join the ranks in reasonably short order.
• 05:23 Jeremiah envisioned that a judgment was going to come in
• 05:26 the form of the Babylonians.
• 05:28 He saw that. He didn't just see that.
• 05:31 He saw after [speaking in Hebrew],
• 05:33 after the destruction, after the death,
• 05:35 he saw Jerusalem coming alive again,
• 05:38 teeming with new energy.
• 05:40 But he's not remembered for that.
• 05:42 He's not remembered for the hope.
• 05:44 He was hated for speaking the truth.
• 05:48 This was so much the case.
• 05:50 If you look in chapter 38, verse 4,
• 05:54 we're told here the princes.
• 05:56 And when I think of the princes, the elite,
• 06:00 those with power and money, a variety of classes of people
• 06:05 took on Jeremiah: the scribes, the writers,
• 06:09 those who controlled the narrative,
• 06:10 the history, the princes, those who controlled government,
• 06:14 perhaps akin to senators today or legislators,
• 06:16 I don't know.
• 06:17 We're told here in chapter 38, verse 4: "[speaking in Hebrew]"
• 06:24 that "the princes," these elites,
• 06:27 "said to the king: [speaking in Hebrew]
• 06:33 'Let this man be put to death.'"
• 06:37 They really just didn't want him,
• 06:40 away with him, because he challenged them.
• 06:45 And to me, that's really striking because he was only
• 06:48 guilty of telling the truth.
• 06:53 Today in so many ways, people that speak truth similarly are
• 06:56 castigated, marginalized, silenced.
• 07:00 My wife, who arguably is the sweetest woman in the world,
• 07:03 will make a comment on Facebook, something about abortion,
• 07:06 something about believing there's men and women and that's
• 07:09 it, you know, in the world today,
• 07:11 how many dozens of genders do we have now,
• 07:13 and that's celebrated, and if someone just stands for,
• 07:17 you know, just two biological genders,
• 07:19 well, that's--needs to be silenced.
• 07:22 I mean, it's just so--how bizarre it is.
• 07:24 You know, "everyone has a right to express themselves."
• 07:27 Of course, everyone but a baby in the womb,
• 07:29 they're not allowed to come out and live their life.
• 07:31 But individuals can change their genders,
• 07:33 their names, and all the rest,
• 07:34 and all that is socially acceptable.
• 07:36 To me, it just seems so upside down, you know?
• 07:39 I'm not trying to point the finger or condemn,
• 07:41 but it's just so upside down.
• 07:43 Anybody that speaks truth sense, all of a sudden invokes the ire
• 07:47 of the powers that be.
• 07:49 It's so much the case today; it was like that yesterday.
• 07:52 Here they wanted to kill Jeremiah.
• 07:53 Eventually, they will.
• 07:55 What's going to happen, however, is they're not gonna have their
• 07:57 way at the first.
• 08:00 Why's that?
• 08:01 Well, our hero, Jeremiah, is gonna be thrown in prison, yes.
• 08:04 But he's gonna be rescued.
• 08:05 You know who's gonna pull him out?
• 08:07 The Babylonians.
• 08:09 Jeremiah said that, you know, they wanted to live that way,
• 08:12 the commonwealth was gonna be destroyed,
• 08:14 and they accused him of being disloyal,
• 08:16 not a good citizen.
• 08:18 "Throw him in a dungeon."
• 08:19 What's gonna happen is what he said was gonna happen.
• 08:22 And when the Babylonians do overrun Judea,
• 08:26 they take the capital city, they fell the temple.
• 08:29 It's the end of the commonwealth.
• 08:31 Jeremiah is freed from prison by the Babylonians,
• 08:35 and he's given the option to go where he wanted to go
• 08:38 and do what he wanted to do.
• 08:40 But, you know what he did?
• 08:41 And it really says something about the heart of the man.
• 08:44 What had happened is, you know, everyone who was anyone was
• 08:48 murdered, you know, or taken off into captivity.
• 08:51 There's people scattered around about and,
• 08:53 after Babylonia overruns Judea, they set up a puppet government.
• 08:58 Gedaliah becomes the governor and people's,
• 09:01 you know, humble people rallies together around him.
• 09:04 Jeremiah wanted to join that lot.
• 09:09 There's a kind of beauty in that.
• 09:10 We're told, in fact, if you look in chapter 40 of Jeremiah:
• 09:17 "[speaking in Hebrew]
• 09:20 He dwelt with them," with the people,
• 09:24 "[speaking in Hebrew]
• 09:26 the people that were left in the land."
• 09:28 And where did he dwell?
• 09:29 In a place called Mizpah.
• 09:33 Striking to me that Jeremiah loved the people,
• 09:36 and his heart was with the people.
• 09:38 And he was so very grieved by the sins in the culture that
• 09:42 eventually brought the culture down.
• 09:44 He called it, he said it, it happened,
• 09:47 but he said more than that.
• 09:49 As we're going to see before we get out of this program,
• 09:52 this man that saw doom, he also saw a new day dawning as he
• 09:57 prophetically gave voice to hope over the horizon.

• 10:52 [speaking in Hebrew]
• 11:02 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: It's one of the saddest books of the Bible.
• 11:06 Probably the saddest book.
• 11:08 Small book.
• 11:10 There are other books that have sad moments in 'em;
• 11:12 to be sure, when I think of the Gospels,
• 11:13 there's Calvary.
• 11:15 That's a sad moment, excruciating,
• 11:18 you know, excrucious from the cross
• 11:20 to see Jesus suffer like that.
• 11:23 But you read through it and before you know it,
• 11:25 he's up out of the grave and preaching good news and bringing
• 11:27 life to people.
• 11:29 When I think of a book in toto that's sad,
• 11:32 certainly that's the book.
• 11:34 Lamentations, it lives up to its name.
• 11:38 Jeremiah wasn't thrilled to write it.
• 11:41 Tragically, however, Jerusalem became an unclean thing.
• 11:46 It had been that way for quite some time,
• 11:48 you know, the Lord sent prophets to try and clean it up,
• 11:51 but people just wouldn't turn.
• 11:54 And so it was that judgment that was predicted came,
• 11:59 and here Jeremiah gives voice to it.
• 12:03 I'm sure you know the story.
• 12:05 Siege was laid to Jerusalem by the Babylonians.
• 12:08 Eventually, the wall was breached.
• 12:11 The armies entered, destroyed, toppled the city,
• 12:15 and the temple, the remains of that,
• 12:18 are still discernible today if you visit the Holy Land.
• 12:22 This has happened on more than one occasion I should say.
• 12:25 Lamentations opens up with a word in poetry.
• 12:30 It's so sad: "How lonely sits the city
• 12:36 that was once full of people!"
• 12:39 Once it was teeming with life and look,
• 12:42 it's come to this.
• 12:45 I've lived long enough where I've known young people,
• 12:48 they were so spirited, so enthusiastic,
• 12:51 so beautiful, but they made all the wrong choices.
• 12:55 They refused to turn, and they made a shipwreck of their life,
• 13:01 and it came to an inglorious end.
• 13:05 That seems so much the case here,
• 13:06 but it's not an end in total, you know.
• 13:08 This prophet envisions a world beyond that,
• 13:11 but that's not the moment here.
• 13:13 Here, he's grieving.
• 13:15 He didn't want this to happen, but it did.
• 13:19 And you know, I should say, by the way,
• 13:21 that in telling this story, the reason why we opted to do it is
• 13:27 because we think Jeremiah's world in very many ways is much
• 13:32 like our own.
• 13:34 Truth was lacking in his world and anyone who spoke it got beat
• 13:38 up for it.
• 13:40 You know, today if you wanna believe there's just two
• 13:43 genders, a man and a woman, well,
• 13:45 you're gonna be punished for that.
• 13:47 Everyone has a right to express themselves, you know.
• 13:50 Of course, if you wanna talk about a baby has a right to come
• 13:52 out of a womb and express themselves,
• 13:54 then you're gonna get in trouble for that.
• 13:56 You know, if you believe that people should work for a living,
• 13:59 then you're gonna get in trouble for that.
• 14:00 I mean, the world's upside down.
• 14:02 I'll probably get bad mail just for what I've said right here.
• 14:05 But it's just a testimony to a strange time and in Jeremiah's
• 14:13 day he spoke truth and, you know,
• 14:16 he paid the price for it.
• 14:18 Those who speak the truth pay the price for it.
• 14:22 We wanted to tell it which is why we did this series and those
• 14:26 that support us financially do so because they want us to keep
• 14:31 talking like this, with an open Bible on the one hand and
• 14:36 willingness to confront the issues of the day on the other.
• 14:40 Now, Jeremiah here sees Jerusalem overrun and I don't
• 14:44 wanna see America collapse, to be sure,
• 14:47 and you don't either.
• 14:49 We did a series not long ago, "Faith of Our Fathers," we
• 14:52 wanted to look at the Judeo-Christian foundations of
• 14:56 our own culture, concerned as we were that people are rewriting
• 15:00 all of that.
• 15:01 You ought to go back and look at that series.
• 15:03 You don't have to order it.
• 15:04 If you wanna send us donation for it,
• 15:05 thank you, but you know, you just go to the website and it's
• 15:08 all there just to see.
• 15:09 We want you to see it.
• 15:10 We want people to know the foundations,
• 15:12 the origins, to be sure, in order to not see happen in our
• 15:18 world what happened in Jeremiah's.
• 15:21 There he is, oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, collapsed.
• 15:27 Once teeming with life, come to nothing.
• 15:31 Sad story.
• 15:33 Happily, that's not the end of the story,
• 15:34 however, because as you'll see in a moment,
• 15:36 he saw through the darkness.
• 15:38 He cut through the clouds.
• 15:40 He saw hope on the horizon,
• 15:44 and we'll take a look at that in a moment.

• 16:03 David: Our resource this week,
• 16:05 the series, "Jeremiah: Hope Over the Horizon," on DVD.
• 16:08 The prophet Jeremiah was called to warn Judah that judgment was
• 16:12 coming at the hands of the Babylonians.
• 16:14 What we find woven through his writings is a message of hope
• 16:18 and deliverance.
• 16:19 These nine programs feature Bible teaching by Dr. Jeffrey
• 16:22 Seif with special guest, Dr. Michael Brown.
• 16:25 Contact us and ask for the Jeremiah series on DVD.
• 16:30 Kirsten: For many, a trip to the Holy Land
• 16:32 is the dream of a lifetime.
• 16:35 Where else can you go see the Scriptures come alive as you
• 16:38 visit the sites where so many biblical events happened?
• 16:44 We invite you to come on a Zola Tour in the spring or the fall
• 16:48 as we explore Israel and Petra.
• 16:50 Reserve your dream of a lifetime.
• 16:53 Contact us for more information.
• 17:01 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: You know, we always like to say,
• 17:03 "Look what I've done, look what I've written."
• 17:06 I think it's good to extol what other
• 17:09 people have done and written.
• 17:10 I mention that because Dr. Michael Brown,
• 17:12 who's with us on the series in Jeremiah,
• 17:15 participated in writing a commentary on "Jeremiah" that's
• 17:20 lauded all over the English-speaking world.
• 17:25 We're so glad to bring him to you.
• 17:28 We're game to put forth other people,
• 17:30 not just me, not just the Harts.
• 17:33 It's a "we" thing, not just a "me" thing.
• 17:36 And I want to invite you into the "we," that is to say,
• 17:41 we couldn't do it if you didn't help us to do it.
• 17:47 We flew Dr. Brown to be with us, paid him a little stipend,
• 17:52 but we can't get away with a little stipend to bring all of
• 17:56 this to you because it's very expensive and I'm not
• 17:59 complaining about the rent on the airwaves,
• 18:02 but I just want you to know that I'm thankful that you help us to
• 18:06 pay the rent to get on the airwaves.
• 18:08 Please, I believe there's a special blessing for those who
• 18:13 are sacrificial.
• 18:14 If you find blessing in what we're doing,
• 18:18 please sow into it, and I know God will bless you for so doing.
• 18:25 Michael Brown: There's a principle you learn from the
• 18:27 prophets of Israel: How real, how literal,
• 18:31 was the smiting?
• 18:32 That's how real the healing is going to be.
• 18:35 How literal, how real, was the scattering?
• 18:38 That's how real the regathering will come.
• 18:41 First there is the pain, then there is the promise.
• 18:45 First there is the death, then there is the resurrection.
• 18:49 So just as Jeremiah graphically describes the destruction of
• 18:54 Jerusalem, as he graphically says the old men will be killed,
• 18:58 laying in the street, as he talks about women being raped,
• 19:03 as he talks about children crying,
• 19:05 it's a horrific picture.
• 19:08 He prophesies it, but also he says the elderly will thrive in
• 19:12 the time of restoration, and children will dance in the
• 19:15 streets and young women will be marrying again.
• 19:19 Just as literal as the destruction,
• 19:21 so literal will be the blessing.
• 19:22 Look, we can go back through much of Israel's history and
• 19:25 there's a lot of pain.
• 19:27 There's a lot of hardship.
• 19:28 There's a lot of difficulty, but it's out of the ashes of the
• 19:31 pain that the glory comes.
• 19:33 It's out of the ashes of the holocaust that the modern
• 19:36 state of Israel comes.
• 19:37 And it's a principle for our own lives.
• 19:39 Yeshua says, "Unless a grain of wheat falls in the ground and
• 19:42 dies, it remains alone, but if it dies,
• 19:45 it bears much fruit."
• 19:47 I hate the process of death, crucifixion,
• 19:51 but we go through it and come out with something glorious:
• 19:53 resurrection.
• 19:54 First the pain, then the promise.

• 20:07 This one, I'm happy to land on it because this is full of such
• 20:13 abundant good news, coming from the same pen,
• 20:16 from the same author.
• 20:19 It's a fascinating story.
• 20:20 If you look in chapter 33, verse 11,
• 20:24 oh, what does he say?
• 20:26 "[speaking in Hebrew]
• 20:27 The voice of joy,
• 20:28 [speaking in Hebrew]
• 20:30 the voice of gladness,
• 20:32 [speaking in Hebrew]
• 20:33 the voice of the groom,
• 20:35 [speaking in Hebrew]
• 20:38 the voice of the bride."
• 20:40 He sees new life coming to Jerusalem.
• 20:46 He who called it in advance and gave voice to the judgment that
• 20:52 was coming, similarly saw a restoration.
• 20:57 Let's take a look at it in the book again,
• 20:59 in chapter 33, verse 7.
• 21:03 Herein, the prophet says, "I will cause the captivity of
• 21:05 Judah and of Israel to return, and will build them,
• 21:10 as at the first," to build back up again.
• 21:14 "I will cleanse them," he says in verse 8,
• 21:16 "of their iniquity, and I will pardon them of their iniquity,
• 21:22 whereby they've transgressed."
• 21:24 It's here in the literature.
• 21:25 Good news from ancient Jews.
• 21:28 A whole nation can come to ruin, but it can come back to life.
• 21:34 Who can do such a thing?
• 21:36 God.
• 21:37 And the God that could do it for them,
• 21:40 is the same God that can do it for you.
• 21:46 You might hear a series like this that looks at sin and
• 21:48 judgment for it and say, "I know I had it coming."
• 21:52 There you sit.
• 21:53 Maybe it's a literal prison cell,
• 21:55 you're watching this program.
• 21:56 Maybe you're living in a jail cell of your own making;
• 21:59 it's not an actual prison, but your held captive.
• 22:03 You feel the pang of conscience, guilt,
• 22:08 the weight of judgment.
• 22:10 It could very well be.
• 22:12 The gospel story, however, is good news.
• 22:16 You preach the bad news first and that's what Jeremiah does.
• 22:20 Yes, there's bad news.
• 22:22 There's a judgment for sin, but there's good news.
• 22:25 You open up the book, you keep on reading,
• 22:26 and you learn that there's a restoration.
• 22:30 And how does that get accomplished?
• 22:34 In chapter 33, verse 15, he says,
• 22:37 "I will cause a shoot of righteousness
• 22:40 to grow up unto David."
• 22:42 You know, from David will come this branch of righteousness.
• 22:49 "And he shall execute righteousness
• 22:52 and justice in the land.
• 22:54 In those days Judah shall be saved," hm.
• 23:00 When I open up the newer Testament,

• 23:08 Says the book of the genealogy of Jesus,
• 23:11 the Messiah, Son of Abraham, Son of David.
• 23:14 Well, Son of David first, Son of Abraham.
• 23:16 Here, this author gives voice to this Davidic personality.
• 23:21 He's going to emerge and effect a great salvation.
• 23:25 Fascinating story, so amply fulfilled in Jesus.

• 24:06 tapestry of darkness, yes?
• 24:09 Kirsten: It is, and the love.
• 24:12 I keep saying, Jeremiah's this book of opposites.
• 24:15 We have judgment; we have hope.
• 24:18 We have exile; we have Aliyah, we have a return.
• 24:21 It's opposites.
• 24:22 We have old covenant; we have new covenant.
• 24:25 It's all in this Old Testament book.
• 24:27 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: You know, as a parent,
• 24:28 you know, I raised kids.
• 24:30 They've grown up.
• 24:31 When I scolded them, it's not because I was disdainful;
• 24:33 it's 'cause I'm looking to improve the end result.
• 24:37 It doesn't feel that way.
• 24:38 I remember once my father said, "Jeff," before he spanked me,
• 24:41 "this is gonna hurt me more than it does you."
• 24:43 I said, "Yeah, but not in the same place."
• 24:45 But the point is you do it.
• 24:47 It's painful, but you're looking for it to produce something good
• 24:51 and Jeremiah, to your point,
• 24:53 sees the pain and he sees the gain.
• 24:56 Kirsten: And he sees--he sees the future.
• 24:59 He sees Messiah, and he gives us that picture,
• 25:04 and I just love it 'cause I think so many people that don't
• 25:09 embrace the Jewish roots of their faith,
• 25:12 look to the New Testament.
• 25:13 It has red letter.
• 25:14 Well, if it's red letter edition,
• 25:16 that's what Jesus said, he's so in every book,
• 25:20 in every prophet's mouth in the Old Testament,
• 25:23 especially Jeremiah.
• 25:25 David: I think this whole series is that someone who
• 25:28 doesn't have that hope, that our prayer would be that today they
• 25:32 would have that hope just like back in the day.
• 25:34 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: And a lot of people don't,
• 25:36 and never mind the people, let's talk about a person.
• 25:39 A person like you.
• 25:42 If you're at a place in life where you're wondering about
• 25:45 your place in life, you can feel abandoned by people and
• 25:49 circumstance, you can feel abandoned by your own body,
• 25:52 that's not performing according to plan.
• 25:55 And with all that, you can feel abandoned by God.
• 25:59 Jeremiah felt that way.
• 26:01 Jesus felt that way too.
• 26:02 "My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?"
• 26:05 It isn't easy, but Jesus is talking to God about it,
• 26:09 and the Lord raised Jesus from the grave and he can raise you
• 26:12 from your circumstances as well.
• 26:15 Jeremiah saw that he could, didn't he?
• 26:17 Kirsten: And he mentioned to the people,
• 26:19 the nation of Israel, he wanted that God said,
• 26:21 "I wanna give you hope and a future," and he also says to
• 26:25 everyone today, to you, he wants to give you a hope,
• 26:30 and he has a future planned for you.
• 26:32 That's a powerful Word from the book of Jeremiah.
• 26:35 Dr. Jeffrey Seif: Amen, it is. Please don't give up.
• 26:38 Reach up and as you go, Shaalu shalom Yerushalayim.
• 26:43 David: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
