1) Jeremiah 29:1-9
Who was Jeremiah to deliver this message to? Where was the audience? What was the message? How did these instructions oppose human logic or natural human emotions? What does it mean to seek the welfare of their city? What would that mean for us?
Jeremiah 29:10-14
What does God promise the exiles in this passage? How is this a good news/bad news message? What would happen before they would be restored?
2) Jeremiah 29:15-20
Why were they looking for a different prophet than Jeremiah? What was the danger in looking for a different prophet than the one God sent? What would be the consequences of their refusal to listen? When are you tempted to look for different instructions from God than what He’s already given?
Jeremiah 29:21-32
What did God have Jeremiah say about the false prophets? What would be their consequences?
3) Read about the 3 deportations to Babylon that took place.
Daniel 1:1-7; 2 Kings 24:10-14; 2 Kings 25:1-12
What was the progression in the deportation? Who was taken first? When did the most destruction occur?
Jeremiah 29:8-9
How can a person discern whether a prophet is a false prophet or a true prophet from God?
Deuteronomy 18:18-22
How would knowing this passage help the exiles? How could it help us?
4) Jeremiah 29:4-7
How do the following New Testament verses relate to God’s instructions to the exiles in Babylon?
Matthew 5:43-45; Romans 12:20-21; Titus 3:1-2
How do these instructions all relate to us?
