LIBERTATEA „CA PRADĂ” LA PROFETUL IEREMIA
FREEDOM “AS PREY” FROM THE PROPHET JEREMIAH

Summary/Abstract: The restauration of Israel is one of the main concerns of the prophet Jeremiah. Yahweh is the one who gives life to the people wherever they are, as a gift, as a spoil of war. The deliverance of every believer from the bondage of sin and death is a pleasing concern to the Lord. The prophet Jeramiah is a model for any historical stage of man who fights to win his freedom, offering himself as a paradigm of courage and daring. Ebed Melec, an Ethiopian, therefore a stranger, a royal official in Jerusalem, trusts in Yahweh more than any native or Israel. Many Jews, during the conquering of the Holy citadel by the Babylonians, will die by the sword, by famine and by plague, while a foreigner, Ebed Melec, will be protected and kept alive. An authentic prophet shows how precious is the unforeseen and unexpected freedom obtained in a special historical context. The faithful man will be under divine protection wherever and whenever, because the Lord offers him a blessed freedom.
