bronze in Jeremiah 1
BRONZ
This thing shows up in Jeremiah 1:18: “For, behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Jeremiah 1:18
“For, behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.”
What kids can learn
When you hear bronze in Jeremiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Jeremiah 1:18 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
