God’s Dark Providence & Jeremiah

Israel went through numerous dark times as a nation as God called the people to repentance for their sin and rebellion. Jeremiah was a prophet in one of these dark periods of Israel’s history, and he faced great distress as he faithfully preached to God’s people. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas explains the context of Jeremiah 20, why Jeremiah was imprisoned for a brief period, and how we can find comfort even in the seemingly dark passages of Scripture.
