October 2: Psalm 115, Psalm 116,  Jeremiah 34, Jeremiah 35, Jeremiah 36 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Psalm 115 through Psalm 118 are part of the Hallel (praise) Psalms and are sung after the Passover meal. Psalm 115 gives praise that the Lord is our help and shield. Not so the heathens, their idols are worthless.

Psalm 116. The Lord heard my prayers, I will pay my vow of gratitude with the sacrifice of praise.

Jeremiah 34, Zedekiah was warned by God to give liberty to the slaves, as commanded by Him, but the slaves were not freed, so bad things were going to happen.

Jeremiah 35 tells of the obedient Recabites.

Jeremiah 36. Jehoiakim burned Jeremiah’s Scroll, did this action result in the end of David’s line?

In between the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and his letter to Titus we read two Psalms and one chapter of Jeremiah.

October 1: Proverbs 17, Jeremiah 32, Jeremiah 33, (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Proverbs 17. In this chapter of Proverbs, King Solomon wrote of wisdom, justice and family, but fools, that’s another matter.

Jeremiah 32. With everything else going on, Jeremiah bought a field, the field of Anathoth, and then he prayed  for understanding. God reassured Jeremiah, the  people would return.

Jeremiah 33, the restoration of Israel is  foretold, and the permanence of God’s Covenant with the house of David is restated.

September 30, read through the Holy Bible in a year in Power-point, with comments.

In between the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and his letter to Titus we read two Psalms and one chapter of Jeremiah.

September 30: Psalm 113, Psalm 114, Jeremiah 31 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Psalm 113. This Psalm is part of the “Hallel”, consisting of Psalm 113-118. Two are sung before and three after the Passover meal. It begins and ends with Hallelujah, and praises God how He lifts up the lowly, even the barren woman.

Psalm 114 is the second Psalm of the Hallel. In eight short verses it retells of God’s miracles of delivering them out of Egypt and into the promised land. Short and to the point.

Jeremiah 31 is a most remarkable chapter. Jeremiah in a dream heard God say “Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love” and continued by promising that the remnant of Israel will be saved. Then, in verse 15 God provided an abrupt change “A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.” Then,returning to the dream came an even more remarkable statement “O thou backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.” After this Jeremiah woke up from his pleasant dream. God continued speaking, promising mercy on Ephraim, future prosperity to Israel, and promised the New Covenant: “But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

September 29, read through the Holy Bible in a year in Power-point, with comments.

In between the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and his letter to Titus we read one Psalm and two chapters of Jeremiah.

September 29: Psalm 112, Jeremiah 29, Jeremiah 30 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Psalm 112 like Psalm 111 is an acrostic Psalm, meaning that each line (not verse) begins with the next letter in the Hebrew alphabet, starting with Aleph and ending with Taw. It tells of the blessings that follow the man that fears the LORD. Not so the wicked.

Jeremiah 29. Jeremiah sent a letter to the exiles, a letter of hope, and a promise of return “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord“. Then follows a message to Shemaiah, a not so promising message.

Jeremiah 30, a beautiful chapter promising the restoration of Israel.

Today we read the last chapter of the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and two chapters of Jeremiah.

2 Timothy 4 The Apostle Paul gave the charge to Timothy: Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season. At the end of the letter Paul gave his farewell message. Although he called himself the abandoned apostle, the Lord is faithful, now and forever.

Jeremiah 27. the prophecies continue; Babylon will put nations under a yoke , Judah will serve Nebuchadnezzar.

Jeremiah 28. The prophet Hananiah was proven false by events. Rather than defeating Babylon, Judah would go into captivity.

Today we read the third chapter of the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and two chapters of Jeremiah.

September 27: 2 Timothy 3 , Jeremiah 25, Jeremiah 26 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

2 Timothy 3. The apostle Paul spoke of perilous times and perilous men, but as for Timothy, he was to be the man of God, and keep in mind“ All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”

Jeremiah 25. God gave Jeremiah this big prophesy: Seventy years of captivity and judgment on the nations.

Jeremiah 26. For giving bad news Jeremiah received death threats, but the priests managed to hold off the mob with pointing out what was prophesied is consistent with earlier prophecies, so he was let free (for a while).

Today we read the second chapter of the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and two chapters of Jeremiah.

September 26: 2 Timothy 2, Jeremiah 23, Jeremiah 24 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

2 Timothy 2. God, through the apostle Paul gave advice to the young Timothy, such as: Be strong in grace, be not ashamed of the truth as you are an approved worker. One piece of advice stands out; “Flee youthful lusts”.

Jeremiah 23. God will eventually raise up out of the house of David the righteous branch, but until then there will be lying prophets, false prophets and empty oracles.

Jeremiah 24. Jeremiah had a vision of two baskets of figs. There is a lesson here.

Today we read one Psalm, the first chapter of the Apostle Paul’s Second letter to Timothy and two chapters of Jeremiah.

September 25: Psalm 111, 2 Timothy 1, Jeremiah 21, Jeremiah 22 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Psalm 111. A short, beautiful psalm with this truth: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”

2 Timothy 1 starts out with a greeting and Paul was encouraged by Timothy’s Faith, which he got from his mother Eunice and grandmother Lois. Paul was not Ashamed of the Gospel “for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” Then Paul urged Timothy to be loyal to the faith.

Jeremiah 21. Jerusalem was doomed, and God delivered a message to the house of David.

Jeremiah 22 continues God’s messages to the House of David, the Sons of Josiah, and proclaimed the end of the Davidic line with Jehoiachin. This is one reason  Jesus had to be adopted by Joseph according to the gospel of Matthew.

September 24, read through the Holy Bible in a year in Power-point, with comments.

In between the Apostle Paul’s First and Second letter to Timothy we read three Psalms and one chapter of Jeremiah.

September 24: Psalm 108, Psalm 109, Psalm 110, Jeremiah 20 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Psalm 108, a Psalm, a song of David. Here David repeated parts from Psalm 57 and Psalm 60 and used it to ask for God’s help in his further conquests as he subdued nations around him.

Psalm 109, of David. Leaving vengeance to God, David prayed for the full measure of God’s vengeance to be poured out on his wicked enemies. He is “poor and needy” and vengeance is God’s business.

Psalm 110, of David. Two quotes stand out from this Psalm: “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.“, and “The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.” Who was David talking about? Hint: The book of Hebrews gives the answer.

Jeremiah 20. The chief priest Pashhur heard Jeremiah prophesy bad outcomes, so he punished Jeremiah, which led to the word of God given to Pashhur. Jeremiah gave yet another complaint to God, this time even to the point of complaining he was born.

In between the Apostle Paul’s First and Second letter to Timothy we read one chapter of Proverbs and two chapters of Jeremiah.

September 23: Proverbs 16, Jeremiah 18, Jeremiah 19 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Proverbs 16, Proverbs of Solomon. God looks at the heart, take heed and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord, not men.

Jeremiah 18, Jeremiah went to the potter’s house and learned the importance of the potter and the clay. God’s warning was rejected by the people and Jeremiah was persecuted.

Jeremiah 19. It is getting worse. Jeremiah bought a clay jar, went to the valley of Hinnon, later called Gehenna, proclaimed disaster over Judah and Jerusalem over their offerings to Baal or Molech and broke the clay jar to signify how big the disaster was going to be.
