David did not go to war and decided to be idle

So he got tempted with Bathsheba and committed adultery. Worse, he committed a

crime by killing her husband Uriah. What he did displeased God

then he got rebuked through Nathan.

David pleaded to God for the child but the child died despite fasting and wearing
sackcloth

but he went on worshipping despite it all.

in psalm 51 is a psalm of David

his prayer and plea for God after he committed that
grave sin against GOd.

Jeremiah 18:1-18
- jEREMIAH PROPHESIED DURING THE time of Josiah to Zedekiah
- within this historal setting
- Does the potter have a choice to do what he wants to do?

at the potter's house

God is the potter and Israel as the clay

GOd can do anything to Israel at anytime
He can destroy a nation whom he warned from its evil. if it repents, he won't
inflict disaster
same goes otherwise.
the people refused to allow the potter to mold them.
through our sins we don't give the potter the permission to mold us.

revelation 2: 1-7
- no biblical narrative where we can pair this.
- but we can give the situation here

how to read book by book: 426-427

Recepients of the book were facing two problems

- persecution from the jews
- persecution from the romans/roman

maybe their persecution contributed on the reason why they lose their love.

they were really good christians. hardworking and persevering but despite it all
they still lost their love

how does knowing the historical background make sense in reading this?
