Jacob's Midweek Bible Study | Jeremiah | Part 22

 Continuing his exposition of Jeremiah 15, Jacob Prasch presents a sobering theology of judgment, repentance, and perseverance for believers living amid apostasy. He explains that when a nation—or a church—passes a moral point of no return, God may cease calling it to repentance and instead give it over to judgment, even while still calling individuals to faithfulness. Tracing the chapter’s imagery of fourfold doom and its fulfillment across Scripture, Prasch connects Jeremiah’s anguish to Christ’s own suffering, showing how the prophet typifies the rejected Messiah and, by extension, the faithful remnant in every age. He emphasizes the necessity of “eating the Word”—allowing Scripture to be fully internalized—so that it becomes both a joy and a burden, sweet in the mouth yet bitter in the stomach. Addressing discouragement, isolation, and righteous indignation, Prasch underscores God’s promise to preserve those who refuse compromise: believers must extract what is precious from what is worthless, resist conformity to apostasy, and trust that even in persecution God will ultimately redeem them from the hand of the violent and the wicked.
