Jeremiah 46,47,48 - Daily Summary

 Hello!

Before I enter Jeremiah 46, I want to say that it is better to read the proper Bible than summaries, we should find the truth from the source. You could read these as overviews/for other opinions.

Jeremiah 46 - 28 verses

Many of the prophetic books has rebukes on different nations, such as Isaiah. For example, Isaiah 13-23 is all judgements and rebukes towards a certain collective country. Jeremiah 46 is an example of this kind of judgement. In this chapter, God tells of incoming judgement more than warning of a possible one. God says that Egypt wiill prepare for battle, but their warriors will fall. Not only Egypt falls, but people who rely on it - also see Psalms 146:3 about this. This disaster on Egypt and the other wicked reminisces of the final judgement of God - there is a "day of disaster" in verse 21 and a "time for them to be punished".

Jeremiah 47- 7 verses

Quite similar, but about the Philistines instead and four times shorter. This chapter is a warning of destruction and there will be utter destruction. Practically from Jeremiah 39, and practically from the beginning of Jeremiah 1, there has been many warnings of judgement. This chapter also emphasizes that when God wills judgement, His "sword" will not rest. He is the supreme judge.

Jeremiah 48 - 47 verses

This chapter has a similar overall theme and is a message about Moab. This chapter is very interesting, because there is a twist at the end. For 46 out of 47 verses, the predominant theme is judgement, destruction, wrath. God is wrathful, and this is one of his properties, which is something not to neglect nor misunderstand. Moab was a very idolatrous and sinful nation - in fact, Moab was produced out of a scandal between Lot and his daughter. Nevertheless, God will "restore the fortunes of Moab in days to come". God will change some and shine mercy on them.

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 ...
