Jeremiah ch.4 - The Un-Creation

The Tanakh Podcast - A podcast by Alex Israel

Our podcast addresses two aspects of this chapter: 1. The experience of the prophet, directly seeing and experiencing the events about which he is prophecying, and having a very visceral emotional response to the terrifying images that he is seeing 2. The usage of Creation language to express the spectre of the natural world disintegrating due to the sin of the nation. We dwell upon the deep connection between sin and the physical land, from Genesis to Jeremiah.
