The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Yearनमूना
Week 21. Day 5. Jeremiah 50-52.
Ch 50-51 continue the section of oracles against the nations (see the notes from yesterday)
Jer 52 Fall of Jerusalem and its aftermath
The fall of Jerusalem has already been recounted in the book in ch39, but it is recounted again in ch52 (borrowing from 2 Kings 24-25). The reason for this repetition is that Ch 52 is a postscript showing Jeremiah’s prophecies to have come true. This vindicates him as a true prophet (Deu 18:12-22).
Note how Jeremiah, like the book of Kings, ends on a hopeful note (52:31-34).
NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.

यस योजनाको बारेमा
The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
