The Road to Captivity
is a study in Jeremiah about how ancient Israel chose a path to destruction. The
book examines the tragic formulas that assured their captivity and offers
comment on the two opposing views at work during this period of history.
Exploring the larceny of both national leadership and the religious community
which combined their power is but one aspect of the sociological and
psychological study of how they maneuvered their disarray.
Care is given in
applying these universal aspects to current world leadership who are marching
down similar avenues leading to chaos. The national mind of ancient Israel is
examined in great detail and how that common ideology caused universal ruin.
Amazing similarity to the national mind of today is pointed out as well as the
suspect policies of current global leadership.
The interplay
between Jeremiah and the false prophets who opposed him is focused upon as are
various avoidance tactics employed by national leadership. Thus, the text
appears as a Handbook for National Demise.
During Israel's
countdown to captivity, certain profiles of opposition appear as examples of the
deteriorating rational which was under duress during the invasion process. Many
parallels are derived from this in-depth study as they apply to current domestic
and international scenarios.
For those who
seek a chapter by chapter commentary of the book of Jeremiah, this volume works
well.
