Lamentations: Out of the Ashes - Ch 4

Calvary Bible Church-NH

The priests were responsible for upholding God's law (Lev. 10:10-11), and the prophets were meant to convey His messages. However, by the time of Jeremiah, both roles had become corrupt (Jer. 6:13-14). These leaders assured the people that judgment would not come, directly contradicting God's warnings (Jer. 23:16 17). At their best, the Old Testament prophets, priests, and kings foreshadowed the coming of Christ. At their worst, they demonstrated the necessity of His arrival. False prophets, priests, and kings ultimately failed Israel, contributing to its destruction. In Christ, we find the perfect Prophet, Priest, and King who offers life, hope, and eternal restoration. We must turn to Him for unwavering truth, salvation, and guidance.
