Dave gave a wonderfully informative and entertaining talk about Jeremiah’s life and mission, what messages Jeremiah has for today's time, and how a Latter-day Saint should understand Jeremiah.
A wonderful potluck buffet was served and enjoyed by the large group attending.
In advance, Dave said: "A thorough understanding of the Old Testament/Jewish Bible is critical to understanding LDS doctrine. Joseph Smith would strongly agree, so I think I’m in good company.
"Jeremiah is one piece of this. To understand Jeremiah is to understand how Jews perceive the loss of the first temple, their national chastisement then and in other times, and the renewal of the covenant in the second temple and beyond. Of all people, Latter-day Saints should appreciate the beauty of those covenant relationships and ability to cope with disaster, rejection, and persecution."
The Feast of the Trumpets was introduced by Kim Cooney's shofar, followed by "HATIKVA" "The Hope", the official national anthem of Israel. Kim is a Tenor Baritone singer of sacred music well known in the area; he has performed with major productions and sings in various sacred settings.
