Dr Kelvin Friebel Lecture videos
How can a modern Christian serve prophetically, standing for truth and offering hope, without being a prophet? In this course, we will explore the Book of Jeremiah to learn how to:
- Hold God's people accountable for their sins
- Oppose political and religious leadership
- Use persuasive techniques in delivering messages
- Navigate difficult ministry situations when no one listens
- Offer hope after judgmentIn 586 BC, the kingdom of Judah fell, Jerusalem was destroyed, and the people were exiled. In the midst of this crisis, Jeremiah proclaimed God's messages of judgment and restoration. We will examine his prophetic proclamation, literary structure, and practical lessons that can guide us in ministry today.

PROHVETI ROLL VANAS TESTAMENDIS
Vana Testamendi prohvetid olid vahendajad Jumala ja Tema rahva vahel, edastades jumalikke sõnumeid. Nad tegutsesid nii sõnumitoojatena, kuulutades Jumala sõna, kui ka eestkostjatena, paludes rahva eest. Nende peamine ülesanne oli kutsuda Iisraeli ustavusele ja tõlgendada Jumala tegusid ajaloos. -
JEREMIA KOOL JA LÄKITUS
Jumal kutsus Jeremija prohvetiks juba enne tema sündi, andes talle ülesande rääkida rahvastele. Tema kutsumislugu rõhutab Jumala väge ja kindlustunnet, vaatamata Jeremija algsele vastumeelsusele. Jumal lubab olla temaga, andes talle jõudu kuulutada Tema sõnumit vastuseisust hoolimata. -
JEREMIA SÕNUM KOHTUST JA LOOTUSEST Jeremija hoiatas Juudat eelseisva kohtumõistmise eest nende ustavusetuse tõttu, kutsudes neid meeleparandusele. Vaatamata karmidele sõnumitele kuulutas ta ka tulevast taastamist ja Jumala kestvat lepingut. Tema ennustus tasakaalustas jumaliku õiguse ning lubaduse rahva uuendamiseks.

РОЛЬ ПРОРОКА В ВЕТХОМ ЗАВЕТЕ
Пророки Ветхого Завета выступали посредниками между Богом и Его народом, передавая божественные послания. Они служили как вестники, провозглашая слово Божье, так и ходатаи, заступаясь за народ. Их главная задача заключалась в призыве Израиля к верности и истолковании Божьих действий в истории. -
ПРИЗВАНИЕ И ПОСВЯЩЕНИЕ ИЕРЕМИИ
Иеремия был призван Богом быть пророком еще до своего рождения и получил поручение говорить народам. Его рассказ о призвании подчеркивает силу и поддержку Бога, несмотря на первоначальное нежелание Иеремии. Бог обещает быть с ним, укрепляя его для провозглашения Своего послания перед лицом противостояния. -
ПОСЛАНИЕ ИЕРЕМИИ О СУДЕ И НАДЕЖДЕ Иеремия предостерегал Иудею о грядущем суде за их неверность, призывая их к покаянию. Несмотря на строгие пророчества, он также говорил о будущем восстановлении и неизменном завете Бога. Его пророчество сочетало Божью справедливость с обещанием обновления для народа Божьего.

THE ROLE OF THE PROPHET IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
Old Testament prophets served as intermediaries between God and His people, delivering divine messages. They functioned as both messengers, proclaiming God’s word, and intercessors, pleading on behalf of the people. Their primary role was to call Israel to faithfulness and interpret God's actions in history. -
THE CALL AND COMMISSIONING OF JEREMIAH
Jeremiah was called by God to be a prophet before he was born, receiving a divine commission to speak to nations. His call narrative emphasizes God's empowerment and assurance despite Jeremiah’s initial reluctance. God promises to be with him, strengthening him to proclaim His message in the face of opposition. -
JEREMIAH'S MESSAGE OF JUDGMENT AND HOPE Jeremiah warned Judah of impending judgment due to their unfaithfulness, calling them to repentance. Despite his harsh messages, he also spoke of future restoration and God’s enduring covenant. His prophecy balanced divine justice with the promise of renewal for God's people.
