“God has broad enough shoulders to cry on and a big enough chest to beat against. God even provides words in his Scriptures to permit us, indeed to encourage us, to do so.” - Christopher Wright

A verse by verse commentary on Jeremiah 19 dealing with the horror of God's people offering their children to be burned in offerings to Baal and the resulting judgment of God.
A verse by verse commentary on Zephaniah 3 dealing with the future of Jerusalem and all of its woes. It deals with the fire of God's wrath that threatens to consume the whole world. The chapter ends with good news for the Lord will restore his people and bless them, and they will have honor among the nations.
A verse by verse commentary on 2 SAMUEL 14 dealing with Absalom returning to Jerusalem where a woman of Tekoa persuaded David to let his son come home. Eventually David welcomes his son and kissed him.
This has become one of the best known chapters in the Bible, and movies, books and plays have been made to portray it for public entertainment. It is a chapter of
lust, murder and cover up to match any soap opera. "In the whole of the Old Testament literature there is no chapter more tragic or full of solemn and searching warning than this." (G. Campbell Morgan) This is the chapter where the best of the godly men becomes the worst sinner, for David in this chapter commits adultery, deceives a friend, murders that friend, and lies to himself, God and the world by trying to cover up his dastardly deeds.
This is a study of Jesus welcoming outsiders. Just because one is not a part of a certain group, but is not against the Lord, they are welcome by Jesus to serve the Kingdom of God.
This is a study of Jesus being whispered about by many at the festival in Jerusalem. Some said he was a good man and others that he was a deceiver of the people.

A. Flirt with Idolatry
B. Flirt with Immodesty
C. Flirt with Intoxication
II. How to become wretched
Companions- among the Gentiles
Commandments- (law is no more)

III. How to become worthless
IV. How to Return
The Lord announces His decision to remove his protection over‘dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah'... This is exactly what we are seeing in today’s world, the age of deceit.
A review of the imprecatory Psalms, which rather than being an embarrassment to Christians should be a source of comfort that Divine justice will ultimately prevail. Given at Laindon (Old Paths) Christadelphian ecclesia on 1st May 2019
The Destruction of America::"Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devour-ing fire. And the Lord shall cause his glo-rious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indig-nation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tem-pest, and hailstones" (Isaiah 30:27,30).
"Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord" (Jeremiah 8:7).
America is going to be destroyed by fire! Sudden destruction is coming and few will escape. Unexpect-edly, and in one hour, a hydrogen holocaust will engulf America—and this nation will be no more.
It is because America has sinned against the great-est light. Other nations are just as sinful, but none are as flooded with gospel light as ours. God is going to judge America for its violence, its crimes, its backslid-ings, its murdering of millions of babies, its flaunting of homosexuality and sadomasochism, its corruption,its drunkenness and drug abuse, its form of godliness without power, its lukewarmness toward Christ, its rampant divorce and adultery, its lewd pornography, its child molestations, its cheatings, its robbings, its dirty movies, and its occult practices.
In one hour it will all be over. To the natural mind it is insanity to come against a prosperous, powerful nation and cry out, "It's all over! Judgment is at the door! Our days are numbered!" The church is asleep, the congregations are at ease, and the shepherds slumber. How they will scoff and laugh at this mes-sage. Theologians will reject it because they can't fit it into their doctrine. The pillow prophets of peace and prosperity will publicly denounce it.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

4. The events of September
11 hit America and the
West at a time when
intellectual and moral
responses to evil are
weaker, more contro-
versial, and more
confused than they have
been for centuries.
5. Put simply, we no longer
have a shared under-

there is any such thing
as evil. Some even
question whether it is
proper to speak of
anyone as our enemy.

words describing the fall of the city
Be on the lookout for...

relentless salvo of twenty-eight verbs
portraying destruction on a blockbuster scale,
and every one has God as the subject.

Introduction to the Septuagint
(the Greek Translation of the OT in 2BC)
12. 01 How the Lord in his anger has set
the daughter of Zion under a cloud!
He has cast down from heaven to earth
the splendour of Israel;
he has not remembered his footstool
in the day of his anger.
Lamentations 2
13. 02 The Lord has swallowed up without
mercy all the inhabitants of Jacob;
in his wrath he has broken down the
strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
he has brought down to the ground in
dishonour the kingdom and its rulers.
Lamentations 2
14. 03 He has cut down in fierce anger
all the might of Israel;
he has withdrawn from them his right
hand in the face of the enemy;
he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,
consuming all around.
Lamentations 2
15. 04 He has bent his bow like an enemy,
with his right hand set like a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful
in our eyes in the tent of the daughter
of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.
Lamentations 2
16. 05 The Lord has become like an enemy;
he has swallowed up Israel;
he has swallowed up all its palaces;
he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of
Judah mourning and lamentation.
Lamentations 2
17. 06 He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
laid in ruins his meeting place;
the Lord has made Zion forget
festival and Sabbath,
and in his fierce indignation
has spurned king and priest.
Lamentations 2
18. 07 The Lord has scorned his altar,
disowned his sanctuary;
he has delivered into the hand of the
enemy the walls of her palaces;
they raised a clamour in the house of the
Lord as on the day of festival.
Lamentations 2
19. 08 The Lord determined to lay in ruins
the wall of the daughter of Zion;
he stretched out the measuring line;
he did not restrain his hand
from destroying;
he caused rampart and wall to lament;
they languished together.
Lamentations 2
20. 09 Her gates have sunk into the ground;
he has ruined and broken her bars;
her king and princes are among the
nations;
the law is no more, and her prophets find
no vision from the Lord.
Lamentations 2
21. 10 The elders of the daughter of Zion
sit on the ground in silence;
they have thrown dust on their heads
and put on sackcloth;
the young women of Jerusalem
have bowed their heads to the ground.
Lamentations 2
22. “The Lord has become like an enemy….”
~ Lamentations 2:5
The Report
23.
24. “Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep
my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among
all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me
a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”
~ Exodus 19:5-6
25. “Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of
the people. And they said, ‘All that the Lord has spoken we will do,
and we will be obedient.’ And Moses took the blood and threw it on
the people and said, ‘Behold the blood of the covenant that the Lord
has made with you in accordance with all these words.’”
~ Exodus 24:7-8
26. You shall keep my statutes
and my rules and do none
of these abominations….,
lest the land vomit you out
when you make it unclean,
as it vomited out the nation
that was before you.
~ Leviticus 18:26-28
27. “Therefore, Jeremiah, go and warn all Judah
and Jerusalem. Say to them, ‘This is what the
Lord says: I am planning disaster for you
instead of good. So turn from your evil ways,
each of you, and do what is right.’”
But the people replied, “Don’t waste your
breath. We will continue to live as we want to,
stubbornly following our own evil desires.”
~ Jeremiah 18:11-12 (NLT)
29. “But how patient should God be?
The day of reckoning must
come, not because God is eager
to pull the trigger, but because
every day of patience in a world
of violence means more violence
and every postponement of
vindication means letting insult
accompany injury…. …God’s
patience is costly, not simply for
God, but for the innocent.”
30. For forty years [Jeremiah] had
painted in advance and in
detail the very scenes
described in this chapter (to
his own weeping agony in
doing so) — for the purpose of
urging Judah to take a different
path and avoid such a fate.
The point is: Lamentations 2
need not have happened.
31. Israel had declared war on God.
Her high crimes against humanity
were an act of cosmic treason
against God.
33. “The slightest sin is an
act of defiance against
cosmic authority. It is a
revolutionary act, a
rebellious act where we
are setting ourselves in
opposition to the One
to whom we owe
everything.”
34. …the city that had forsaken God
was now utterly God-forsaken.
~ Christopher Wright
The Message of Lamentations
“
35. 11 My eyes are spent with weeping;
my stomach churns;
my bile is poured out to the ground
because of the destruction of the
daughter of my people,
because infants and babies faint
in the streets of the city.
Lamentations 2
36. 12 They cry to their mothers,
“Where is bread and wine?”
as they faint like a wounded man
in the streets of the city,
as their life is poured out
on their mothers' bosom.
Lamentations 2
37. “My eyes are spent with weeping…”
~ Lamentations 2:11
The Grief
38. Jeremiah on the ruins of Jerusalem
by Horace Vernet (1844)
“My joy is gone; grief is upon me;
my heart is sick within me….
Since my people are crushed, I
am crushed; I mourn, and horror
grips me…. O that my head were
a spring of water and my eyes a
fountain of tears! I would weep
day and night for the slain of my
people… They go from one sin to
another; they do not acknow-
ledge me,’ declared the Lord.”
~ Jeremiah 8:21; 9:1, 3
39. 11 My eyes are spent with weeping;
my stomach churns;
my bile is poured out to the ground
because of the destruction of the
daughter of my people,
because infants and babies faint
in the streets of the city.
Lamentations 2
40. 13 What can I say for you, to what compare
you, O daughter of Jerusalem?
What can I liken to you,
that I may comfort you,
O virgin daughter of Zion?
For your ruin is vast as the sea;
who can heal you?
Lamentations 2
41. “Your ruin is as vast as the sea;
who can heal you…?”
~ Lamentations 2:13
The Diagnosis
42. 14 Your prophets have seen for you
false and deceptive visions;
they have not exposed your iniquity
to restore your fortunes,
but have seen for you oracles
that are false and misleading.
Lamentations 2
43. 15 All who pass along the way
clap their hands at you;
they hiss and wag their heads
at the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that was called
the perfection of beauty,
the joy of all the earth?”
Lamentations 2
44. 16 All your enemies rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We have swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; we see it!”
Lamentations 2
45. 17 The Lord has done what he purposed;
he has carried out his word,
which he commanded long ago;
he has thrown down without pity;
he has made the enemy rejoice over you
and exalted the might of your foes.
Lamentations 2
46. “…if my people who are called by my
name humble themselves, and pray and
seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways, then I will hear from heaven and
will forgive their sin and heal their land”
~ 2 Chronicles 7:14
47. 18 Their heart cried to the Lord.
O wall of the daughter of Zion,
let tears stream down like a torrent
day and night!
Give yourself no rest,
your eyes no respite!
Lamentations 2
48. 19 Arise, cry out in the night,
at the beginning of the night watches!
Pour out your heart like water
before the presence of the Lord!
Lift your hands to him
for the lives of your children,
who faint for hunger
at the head of every street.
Lamentations 2
49. 20 Look, O Lord, and see!
With whom have you dealt thus?
Should women eat the fruit of their womb,
the children of their tender care?
Should priest and prophet be killed
in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Lamentations 2
50. 21 In the dust of the streets
lie the young and the old;
my young women and my young men
have fallen by the sword;
you have killed them in the day of your
anger,
slaughtering without pity.
Lamentations 2
51. 22 You summoned as if to a festival day
my terrors on every side,
and on the day of the anger of the Lord
no one escaped or survived;
those whom I held and raised
my enemy destroyed.
Lamentations 2
52. “…my enemy has destroyed….”
~ Lamentations 2:22
The Sentiment
53. It is a standard part of the genre of lament
to cry out to God: ‘God, this suffering is
intolerable! This evil is an atrocious, violent
offence against your whole created order!
Why do you allow it? Why do you inflict it?’
“~ Christopher Wright, The Message of Lamentations
54. God has broad enough shoulders to cry on
and a big enough chest to beat against.
God even provides words in his Scriptures
to permit us, indeed to encourage us, to do so.
~ Christopher Wright, The Message of Lamentations
“
57. “I could never myself believe in God if it were not
for the cross. In the real world of pain, how could
one worship a God who was immune to it. I turn to
that lonely, twisted figure on the cross, nails
through his hands and feet, back lacerated, limbs
wrenched, brow bleeding from thorn-pricks, mouth
dry and intolerably thirsty, plunged into God
forsaken darkness. That is the God for me. He set
aside his immunity to pain. He entered our world of
flesh and blood, tears and death.”
~ John Stott
58. “The God on whom
we rely knows what
suffering is all about,
not merely in the
way God knows
everything, but by
experience.”
59.
60. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares
the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil,
to give you a future and a hope. Then you will
call upon me and come and pray to me, and I
will hear you. You will seek me and find me
when you seek me me with all your heart. I will
be found by you, declares the Lord.”
~ Jeremiah 29:11-14
