INTERNATIONAL LESSON MARCH 6, FOR “The Downtall of Ju- dah” Jeremiah xxxix,, 1-10 Golden Text: Matthew xxiii, Lesson Text: 38 Commentory, 1. “In the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchad- nezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army against Jorusalem, and they besieged it.”. In chapter Iii, and in II Kings xxv. we have this same story of the downfall and captivity of Judah. When the Holy Bpirit causes the same record to be written three different times He cortainly asks our special atten tion to it, and must have some great reason for doing so. The ten trites had been in captivity over 100 years, and for that perio’, as well as for the more than 200 additional years since the death of Bolomon, God had been bearing with them, pleading with them and warning them that unless they turned to Him sincerely this judgment would come upon them (Hos #5. 11-13: Joel i, 5-7: Amos §il., 1, 2, and the precaptivity prophets every where), Bee also Lev, xxvi,, 27-85 and consider what a long warning they had, and he the false prophets taught the people to laugh at and despise it O 2 “In the eleventh year of Zekiab, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, fhe city was broken up.” Duriog a part of three years, or an actual period of eighteon nonths, including the short interval of last n. did the siege © i had sa yw His ntinue and i.

There is such a thing as laying up treasure in heaven whether we have much or little here, and there issuch a thing as being rich here and awfully poor in eternity (Math, vi, 19, 20; Luke xii, 20, 21). io writer earnestly desires for all who read these notes that the spirit and pur. of Jeremiah and of Paul may be in 1 of, better still, the spirit of Christ Himself, for that is the fullest measure, that God may be glorified. — Lesson Helper, A process has been patented in Eng.
