Take the opportunity to reflect deeply on the text and dedicate all your learning to the Lord and remember that if you have any doubts or need another point of view, you can comment on the reflections with your loved ones!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jeremiah_1_1_Jeremiah_1_2_and_Jeremiah_1_3\"><\/span><b>Jeremiah 1:1, Jeremiah 1:2 and Jeremiah 1:3<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The word of the LORD which came to him in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It came to him also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month.<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first verse of this sacred book, Jeremiah dedicates it to <\/span><b>introducing himself,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so that posterity will know that it was the great prophet who wrote it. Jeremiah was a common name in the land of Judah, so it is not unusual for the author to add other attributes to his name to differentiate himself from the rest. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, we find information about the religious ancestry of the prophet, since, as we can see, it indicates that he is a descendant of priests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once specially placed, Jeremiah gives us indications about the time in which he wrote the book, specifying who was the king of Judah at that time. In addition, he uses these verses to emphasize that he <\/span><b>transmits the Word of God<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and that, therefore, its text must be heard and taken into account by the entire population.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jeremiah_1_4_and_Jeremiah_1_5\"><\/span><b>Jeremiah 1:4 and Jeremiah 1:5<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I sanctified you; I gave you as a prophet to the nations.<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these two verses Jeremiah begins the narration of his encounter with God. As we see, the Lord tells him that he has already <\/span><b>had been chosen before he was born<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because God is omnipotent and superior to the passage of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lord entrusts Jeremiah with the important mission of guiding his <\/span><b>guide his people<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with his teachings, earning him the status of prophet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Differently, each of us was chosen by the Lord before our birth to hear, understand and spread His Word as well as to live according to it. <\/span><b>God loves us <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and, although we cannot fully correspond to him due to our limitations as humans, we must be happy knowing the mission we have.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jeremiah_1_6_and_Jeremiah_1_7\"><\/span><b>Jeremiah 1:6 and Jeremiah 1:7<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I said, &#8220;Ah! ah, Lord Jehovah! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><i> <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for whatsoever I send thee, thou shalt go, and whatsoever I command thee, thou shalt speak.<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As surely all of us would have reacted, <\/span><b>Jeremiah is afraid<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of not living up to God&#8217;s request and sets the example of being a child who is not yet ready for life. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/humility-biblical-meaning\/\">Humility<\/a> should be one of the main values of any human being and Jeremiah is a very good example of this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then God gives him all the courage he needs and confirms his mission. The Lord is all-knowing and all his actions have an end. Although it sometimes seems to us that life is always trying to bring us down, we must keep in mind that <\/span><b>nothing bad will happen to us<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if we praise the Lord and act according to his teachings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jeremiah_1_8_Jeremiah_1_9_and_Jeremiah_1_10\"><\/span><b>Jeremiah 1:8, Jeremiah 1:9 and Jeremiah 1:10<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Fear not before them, for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth, and the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behold, I have this day set you over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these three verses that close the first part of the chapter, Jeremiah&#8217;s prophetic status is confirmed. The Lord tells him again that <\/span><b>you need not fear anything,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for He will protect you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, Jeremiah comments on a gesture that we also see in Isaiah&#8217;s revelation: somehow the Lord <\/span><b>touches his mouth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to designate him as a prophet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, God sums up the prophet&#8217;s mission in a beautiful metaphor. Jeremiah must stand above kingdoms and nations, because the Word of God <\/span><b>transcends all borders<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of humane. In addition, Jeremiah must generate a change all around him by destroying old beliefs and customs far from God&#8217;s way and building a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/faith-according-bible\/\">faith<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last word of the verse is especially beautiful: God calls the prophets to <\/span><b>plant the seed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of something very big that will come in the future. That is, Jeremiah&#8217;s mission was to make people believe in God and remind them that one day their Messiah would come and they should welcome him with open arms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jeremiah_1_11_and_Jeremiah_1_12\"><\/span><b>Jeremiah 1:11 and Jeremiah 1:12<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The word of the LORD came to me, saying, &#8220;What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, I see a stick of almond tree.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the LORD said unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I hasten my word to do it.<\/span><\/i><i><br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Jeremiah&#8217;s first revelation, God contacts him again. These following appearances are intended to <\/span><b>give lessons<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the prophet so that he can fulfill his mission properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, the Lord asks Jeremiah what he sees, to which he replies that he was looking at an almond branch. This episode shows that, in order for Jeremiah to fulfill his mission, he must <\/span><b>analyze the problems<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and see the world with sincere eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His answer was the most correct one.

So much so that the belief in the existence of <\/span><b>a single omnipotent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0God, was in the minority before all the polytheistic religions of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During that time of violence, God revealed himself to Jeremiah to lead his people on <\/span><b>the way of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubibliaonline.com\/en\/meaning-repentance-bible\/\">repentance<\/a>. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The inhabitants had strayed from the path of the Lord. Jeremiah speaks of a future new covenant with God, which would renew the covenant made earlier with Abraham and surely refers to the coming of Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, Jeremiah&#8217;s mission was difficult and on many occasions everything went against him, making him feel frustrated.
