Jeremiah 10,11,12,13,14,15 - Daily Summary

 Hello!

Jeremiah 10:25 verses

(I will do six chapters today because I had forgotten to write yesterday). This chapter is an exaltation of God, a worship of God, since it praises Him as the only God, who is All Powerful, and in the same time rebukes the idea of idolatry, which is senseless, untrue, and useless. Becuase idolatry is worship unto the wrong god, God won't tolerate it, and punish it. Jeremiah prays for God to destroy the nations, which bow down to said idols.

Jeremiah 11:23 verses

In this chapter, we read that the Lord sent Jeremiah to try and touch the hearts of the Judahite people so they obey God's Covenant. Sadly, they are stubborn, and continued their ways of idols and Baal, so God said He will punish. Jeremiah is about punishment and wrath against the  stubbornness and disbelief in Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 12:17 verses

This chapter is both about wrath and mercy. Jeremiah pleads for God to punish, and God will and assures it, but God still has amazing mercy exuded in the following words: "But after I uproot (punish) them, I will again have compassion and will bring each of them back....(verse 15). God really did do that 70 years after He punished His people - He delivered them again. This proves of God's mercy and faithfulness.

Jeremiah 13:27 verses

Jeremiah 13 starts with God telling the prophet to buy a linen belt and to keep it dry before placing it in a rock crevice at "Perath". A long time later, Jeremiah went back there on God's instruction and took the belt. The belt was completely ruined. This, all, is an analogy, a metaphor that God will ruin Judah's pride. Thus, this chapter is about the reduction and judgement. Said reduction and judgement will also happen in thr Last Days.

Jeremiah 14 and 15: 22 verses&21verses 

These are merged because of similar ideas. Jeremiah 14 is about drought, famine, and the sword (war) which are some of the forms of God's judgement in this case. God must punish harshly. However, the false prophets of Judah try to den. Yet, God reveals His truth here that He will punish with drought, famine, and sword. Jeremiah 15, then, is about judgement too, about the severity of it. God says He will accept repentance, but because of stubbornness He will destroy. Thus, don't be stubborn

BCN 2025 - Kasihilah Tuhan dan Pimpinan Roh Kudus

 Hello! It's been four months since the last blog. When I started a year ago, one of the first blogs was about BCN 2024. It is the next year already, and now we have BCN 2025. This will be a full summary - last time we did it in 3 parts.  Introduction - What is BCN? BCN, or Bible Camp Nasional (Bible Camp National) is a 3-day 2-night event held by Gereja Reformed Injili Indonesia. While most people who attend are from GRII, everyone can join, though it is limited to grades four to seven. Since it is held in June and after the time students typically graduate from a grade, a "seventh grader" means a sixth grader who had recently graduated, and is now considered a seventh grader, for example. BCN is a summer camp, with its main focus on teaching the Bible to children. Before grade four, most people go to Bible Trip , and after grade seven to  NRETC. BCN has seventeen sessions (sermons), this year over a dozen speakers. The event costs 800,000 rupiahs to enter for  earl...

People like to say "Jesus is coming soon", and it's incorrect: Argument Series #1

 Currently, a lot of people has reacted to the tension between the United States and Iran by saying "The end times are soon". Not only do they say this because of the "war", but also because of technologies such as artificial intelligence and Neuralink. In this post I want to challenge this claim. Of course, we shouldn't even try to say "this is near the end times", this is misleading, none of us know when, and we cannot even say that it is vaguely soon. Nevertheless, I will still bring up other points. I will go one by one for each claim. #1: The Iran-US-Israel controversy conflict is a sign of the End Times Many claim that chapters like Ezekiel 38, which speaks about Israel and surrounding powers at war, point to today's conflict. There are several approaches when it comes to interpreting Biblical verses. One of them is covenant theology, which is the reformed approach in this area. God has an Old Covenant, which is with the nation of Israel, and...

Chapel SKC Grade 7 #1

Wednesday 23 July Chapel, SKC, Grade VII #1 By Roy Pangemanan Introduksi Katekismus Heidelberg/Introduction of Heidelberg Catechism A catechism is like a theological explanation usually in the format of Question and Answer and is oral teaching. There are many catechisms, one of them is the Heidelberg Catechism. Personally, I already heard about the name Heidelberg Cathechism once but never knew anythung about it until this Wednesday. Heidelberg is a city in Germany, but at the time it was in the Holy Roman Empire. (The speaker did not say that at the time it was under the Holy Roman Empire, but I added that, he only said that the government was different). The church had just undergone the Reformation and many wanted to know about the Bible, but still needed some direction or explanation. Thus, Frederick III, that governed the area, who was Reformed (Reformed = Sola Scriptura), who was an "elector", commissioned Zacharias Ursinus and Caspar Olevianus to make a catechism. The ...
