Jeremiah 19:14
Arabic Bible AVD 1999 (الكتاب المقدس)
ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ تُوفَةَ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَيْهَا لِيَتَنَبَّأَ، وَوَقَفَ فِي دَارِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَقَالَ لِكُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ:
What Does This Mean?
Jeremiah returned from a place called Tophet, where God had sent him to deliver a message. He then stood in the temple courtyard and spoke to everyone there. The key message is about God's communication through Jeremiah.
Explained for Children
Imagine Jeremiah is like a messenger who went to a scary place called Tophet to get a message from God. Then, he came back to the temple and shared this important message with everyone, just like you might share news from a secret meeting with your friends.
Historical Background
Jeremiah, the prophet, wrote this during the Babylonian exile around 627-580 BCE. The audience was the people of Judah, who were facing the destruction of Jerusalem due to their disobedience. This was a time of severe judgment and exile.
Living It Out Today
In modern times, imagine a community facing a crisis due to their own mistakes. A trusted leader goes to consult with authorities and then returns to share critical messages that could help turn things around, just as Jeremiah did for his people.
