biblestudy: Lamentations (Part 8)

Lamentations 4:6 - 5:22, Conclusion
John W. Ritenbaugh
Given 11-Jul-89; Tape #BS-LA08

Description: John Ritenbaugh observes that Lamentations 4 contains a series of contrasts, showing the indignities suffered by a once proud and seemingly invincible people reduced to servitude and abject humiliation because of the sin of idolatry entered into as a result of economic and political alliances - leading to the adoption of abominable pagan and gentile religious practices, violating the covenant made between God and His people. The climax to this extended hopeless lament comes in Lamentations 5:16, when a greatly belated admission of guilt and acknowledged responsibility leads to a recognition of God's sovereignty and hope for ultimate restoration. Following the conclusion of the Lamentations study, the metaphors and typology of the church as our mother is explored in some detail. (89 minutes)
