12) Jesus’ body would not decay with the preparation by the two men. He would be buried richly in death. He was placed in a new tomb with a heavy stone to guard the entrance.

13) I am awed by Jesus’ death and the wounds he sustained for me. The care fits our Lord and Savior.

Such reverence in Jesus’ burial. What a sight to see!

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 26, Day 5: Reread John 19:38-42

Normally, servants would prepare a body for death, but here these two wealthy men did. They washed Jesus’ body and ensured it was in pristine shape for burial.

The burial of Jesus fulfilled prophecy (Isaiah 53:9 ). It was proof Jesus was truly dead. His body would not decay (Psalm 16:10)

The burial allowed Jesus to conquer sin and death. As Jesus was in the tomb, he went to Hell to bring out the faithful to heaven (1 Peter 3:18-20 )

The tomb was Joseph’s, and it would be grand for a rich man as himself.

In Jewish custom, bodies were left in small tombs to decay. The bones would then be collected and put into ossuaries. The doors to the tombs would be heavy, so no one would disturb the bodies.

It was important that the tomb was empty so that no other theory or resurrection could take place except by the Hand of God.

BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 26, Day 5: Jeremiah 52

by atozmom, posted in BSF People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided 2022/2023

SUMMARY OF JEREMIAH 52

Zedekiah did evil in the eyes of the Lord. It was because of the Lord’s anger that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrust them from his presence. Now Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem in response. The city was taken and Zedekiah was captured. The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; he also killed all the officials of Judah. 11 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes.

Nebuchadnezzar burned Jerusalem, including the temple. He took away the artisans, leaving the poor to work the fields. The city was looted.  Jehoiachin king of Judah was freed by the new king of Babylon, but still was exiled.

BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 26, Day 5: Jeremiah 52

12a) Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem in response. The people were starving, the city was taken, and Zedekiah was captured. Nebuchadnezzar burned Jerusalem, including the temple. He took away the artisans, leaving the poor to work the fields. The city was looted. 

b) Zedekiah was captured. The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, , bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon, where he put him in prison till the day of his death.

c) The temple was where God dwelled. Once it was gone, the people had no place to meet God under the Old Covenant. It was a symbol that God had abandoned His people to His judgment.

13) It proves that God knows the future. It gives us faith that God is the One True God. It gives faith in prophecy.

14) I think it’s significant that Jehoiachin was never really “free.” He was still an exile in Babylon. Bible scholars point out that King Jehoiachin received small kindnesses out of God’s grace and as a foreshadow of God’s blessing and restoration of His people to come. It ends this chapter on a positive note.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 26, Day 5: Jeremiah 52

A sad chapter and day for God’s people. It’s hard to read, especially of the temple’s destruction. But, it serves as a warning to us all to obey God with all our hearts, minds, and souls.

End Notes BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 26, Day 5: Jeremiah 52

Almost every verse is fulfilled prophecy in Jeremiah 52.

We read about the evil reign of Zedekiah and what happened to him. Jerusalem is destroyed; the city is plundered; the people are left in ruin and/or carried away to exile. All the leaders were killed, too.

Bible scholars point out that King Jehoiachin received small kindnesses out of God’s grace and as a foreshadow of God’s blessing and restoration of His people to come. This ends the chapter (and the book of Jeremiah) on a positive note.
