Jeremiah - Earamyah

This is a translation of the Book of Jeremiah, the Prophet of the Old Testament, from the Ancient Aramaic Scriptures of the Ancient Church of the East.

This is a very significant prophetic Book of the Scriptures. Anti-Semitism can be traced to the way the Western translators translated it -- and still interpret this Scripture according to their bias against the Jews. This is a fresh translation directly to English, bypassing the Greek and Latin versions that produced the distortions.

This translation also reveals an interesting fact regarding Nineveh. Nineveh, the Capital of Ashur, is supposed to have fallen in 612 BC. This would have happened during Jeremiah’s lifetime; yet Jeremiah never refers to the “Fall of Nineveh.” He prophesies regarding the Fall of Jerusalem, the Fall of Ammon, the Fall of Edom, the Fall of Moab, the Fall of Elam, the Fall of Arabia, the Fall of Damascus, the Fall of Egypt, and the Fall of Babylon.

However, we know that Nineveh was spared on account of Jonah’s preaching, and the Lord Himself blesses the memory of the “Men of Nineveh,” as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew 12:39-41, “The Men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment of this evil generation, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah and there is someone greater than Jonah here.”

However, the major significance of Jeremiah is that this Book is the other half of the story of the preparation of the Nation of Israel for the Coming of the Messiah. The first half is the story of Moses and the Law. These two prophets, Moses and Jeremiah, are essential to an understanding of the Creator’s plan for humanity.

Until now the Western Churches have taught that the Law was given through Moses, but now it is clear that the New Covenant is prophesied through Jeremiah. Jesus would be coming as a Jew and the nation was being disciplined. That is why the Western theologians took an axe to Jeremiah, because his prophecies would put an end to their claim that “the kingdom was taken from the Jews and given to the Gentiles.”

It is clear according to Jeremiah’s prophecies and their fulfillment that not only Jesus would come as a Jew but that the entire Jewish nation would embrace him in that age. In fact, the only ones who rejected him were a handful of scribes and high priests, those whose positions were directly threatened by Jesus, and King Herod whose authority would be questioned. Later, due to persecution in the pagan world and the Christianity of the Dark Ages of Europe, many Jews reverted back to pre-Christian Judaism.
