Bible Reading
| Day | Reading | Info |
| Monday | Jeremiah 51 | Prophecies addressing Gentiles |
| Tuesday | Jer 52-Lamentations 2 | Destruction and misery of Jerusalem; punishment of Jerusalem |
| Wednesday | Lamentations 3 | The prophet's response to divine judgment |
| Thursday | Lam 4-Ezekiel 1 | The anger of Yahweh; The response of the godly; The vision of God's glory |
| Friday | Ezekiel 2-5 | The Lord's charge to Ezekiel; Ezekiel's initial warnings |
| Saturday | Ezekiel6-9 | Ezekiel's initial warning, cont.; vision of the departure of Yahweh's glory |
Interesting notes:
· Lamentations chapter 1-4 are acrostic poems, each beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
· The Apocryphal book of Baruch is usually placed between Lamentations and Ezekiel.
· Ezekiel 2:10 – usually scrolls had writing only on 1 side, this one had writing on both sides.
· Ezekiel 3:15 – 7 days is the typical mourning period.

Want a Revival?
If all the sleeping folk will wake up,
If all the lukewarm folk will fire up,
If all the dishonest folk will confess up,
If all the disgruntled folk will sweeten up,
If all the discouraged folk will cheer up,
If all the depressed folk will look up,
If all the estranged folk will make up,
If all the gossipers will shut up,
If all true soldiers will stand up,
If all the dry bones will shake up,
If all the church members will pray up,
Then your church will have a revival!
