“God allow His Judgement” Lamentations 1
Lamentations is a song, piece of music, or poem expressing grief or sorrow. Throughout the writing, the memories of the recent events in Jerusalem play counterpoint to issues that the author must confront. As he seeks to find meaning, he finds the basis for discovering hope. To understand the Book of Lamentations, one must come to know what it was like during the final days of Jerusalem before Nebuchadnezzar breached her walls; the author speaks of Jerusalem as she. The days before her destruction marked the fulfillment of Jeremiah’s words about the coming famine, pestilence, and sword. They were dark days and full of terrors and horrors. In writing Lamentations, he comes to terms with those memories and how the Lord God had warned them time, after time and now is allowing His judgement to fall on them the consequences for their actions and their sins.
