Jeremiah 26-52 and Lamentations (Truth for Today Commentary)

With this volume, Dayton Keesee completes his comprehensive study of Jeremiah and adds to it his study of Lamentations, the prophet's eyewitness account of the destruction of Jerusalem. The message of God's judgment and mercy to His people is evident throughout both Jeremiah and Lamentations. "In Jeremiah 26-52, Dayton Keesee continues his excellent explanation of the prophecies against Judah, expounds the prophecies against the nations, and concludes with the review of Judah's ruin. He then examines Lamentations, a tearful portrayal of the suffering and death of the people in Jerusalem as their city and the temple of the Lord are destroyed. Reading this commentary will enhance your understanding of the calamities brought on Judah by their willful refusal to listen to the inspired word of one of the Lord's greatest Prophets."
