Go to the Lamentations (1989) (Bible study series)

description: (hide) The second chapter of Lamentations precedes the first chapter in time sequence. It describes the stunning and disorienting shock of seeing the total systematic devastation and utter destruction of something formerly considered indestructible, and realizing that God was responsible for the devastation. The prophets and the religious leaders bear the greatest blame for this destruction by providing a quasi-religion (with smooth and feel-good teachings condoning sin) and not teaching the Law of God.
