Reading for October 24th

Read Jeremiah 36.1-19. In verse 36.1-32.: Two scrolls. This chapter has many parallels with ch 26, including strong indictments of King Jehoiakin. Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, continues the prophet's message by writing it and by proclaiming it. In verses 2-8: Baruch is a reliable proclaimer of Jeremiah's message of repentance, written by divine command on a scroll. In verses 9-19: Supporters of Jeremiah hear Baruch's reading of the scroll and send him and Jeremiah into hiding. Comments or Questions..
