00:00Heróis da Fé, a História de Jeremias, Distribuição Sociedade Bíblica do Brasil, Versão Brasileira,
00:18Dupla Vídeo São Paulo.
00:48Ah, there you are, Benjamin. I was waiting for you. I knew you were coming to visit me. Come in, make yourself at home.
01:04Ah, I was very sad. Nothing new happens around here, so I thought, hey, Benjamin, stop wandering around, go to the Cave of Stories and...
01:13Tcharam! Here I am, swimmer!
01:17Yes, as everyone calls me, the Storyteller. Stories of great heroes. Heroes of faith. Welcome to my humble home. As you can see, I keep very valuable treasures here.
01:32Look, I have a sword of Goliaths, fragments of Noah's Ark, some of the personal objects of Joseph...
01:40Yes, yes, everything is very beautiful, but I did not come to see any parade or relics.
01:45Oh, but how impatient. I know why you came. Come with me and look closely. This is my favorite collection.
01:56The kings of Judah, Israel and Egypt, who ruled a very difficult time, 600 years before the birth of Jesus.
02:06Oh, how ugly. And why were they kings? I think they lost their heads.
02:11They're just statues, busts, works of art. Look, there they are. Josiah, Joachim, Zedekiah, kings of Judah.
02:21Necau, king of Egypt, the great Nabucodonosor, king of Babylon, and...
02:28Oh, and my grandmother. Listen, why don't you tell a story? It could be one of them, one of these kings. Tell me, go on, tell me!
02:35I'll tell you, but wait, wait. The story I want to tell you is not exactly theirs, but of a man who faced them all his life.
02:49He never used weapons, only the messages that God gave him. He was a true hero, the prophet Jeremiah.
02:58This story takes place in Anathot, near Jerusalem, when Josiah was king of Judah.
03:07Anathot, king of Judah.
03:24Destruction, great pain, much desolation.
03:33Conquering evil, everything is perversion.
03:42Because the people of God, by sinning, have strayed from the path of our Lord.
04:02Tyranny and war, great fear.
04:11Conquering evil, everything is perversion.
04:20Because the people of God, by sinning, have strayed from the path of our Lord.
04:51Jeremiah was still young and descended from a family of priests.
05:04Jeremiah, before your birth I had to choose to be the prophet of the nations.
05:12But sir, I'm too young and I don't know what to say.
05:15Don't say you're too young.
05:18I give authority and words to destroy and to create things.
05:25Now listen carefully.
05:28What do you see?
05:30I see that a wave of the North is coming to the point of fading.
05:34Yes, because the destruction of this land will come to the North.
05:40Be full of courage and say what I say.
05:46Jeremiah was confused, sad.
05:50He felt very sad to see the inevitable destruction that would come from Judah and Israel.
05:56How horrible!
05:58My heart aches to see such misfortune.
06:02Judah and Israel will be destroyed.
06:06What is this?
06:08I can see the armies that have come to destroy.
06:11I hear the sound of their trumpets and their cries of war.
06:15I see the land and it is a desert.
06:18And in the sky there is no more light.
06:21The mountains are shaking.
06:24The fields are barren and the cities are totally destroyed.
06:28This is the wrath of God.
06:31Damn, this is too cool.
06:33These visions look like a movie.
06:36Jeremiah shared these visions with the people, with the priests,
06:41with the people closest to him.
06:44And even if they respected Jeremiah a lot and admired his devotion to God,
06:49his words were so harsh that they incited hatred among the people of his own land.
06:55Jeremiah is a traitor.
06:58If you don't stop talking nonsense, we'll kill you.
07:02Jeremiah, you are scaring the people with your ideas.
07:06Don't you realize that we can kill you to shut your mouth?
07:09Our Lord God said that everyone will be punished,
07:12that the young will die in the war and that their children will die of hunger.
07:16In a short time, our Lord will unleash a calamity and no one will escape.
07:20Let's go.
07:21This man is crazy.
07:23He only talks about war. He is the one who makes the war.
07:32One day, God sent Jeremiah to Jerusalem on a strange mission.
07:38Here I am, my God.
07:40You sent me to go to the shepherd's house.
07:43It must be this one.
07:45May I come in?
07:46May I see what you are doing?
07:48Of course, my friend.
07:49If you want to see, come in.
07:51Come in.
07:52Come in.
07:53Come in.
07:54Come in.
07:55Come in.
07:56Come in.
07:57Come in.
07:58Come in.
07:59Come in.
08:00Come in.
08:01If you want to see, come in.
08:05Why did you destroy this vase before you finished it?
08:08Because it was not the way I wanted it.
08:10I have to do it right.
08:13Do you understand, Jeremiah?
08:15This is my message.
08:18If I can not do with my people what Olenli does with Baal,
08:24call the people of Judah and Israel.
08:27I am preparing their punishment.
08:31Jeremiah had been chosen for a very delicate mission.
08:35He gathered many people and transmitted to all what God had said to him.
08:42The Lord said,
08:44My people have forgotten me because they burn incense to their idols.
08:48So I will deliver them to their enemies.
08:51Get out of these wrong ways and follow the Lord and he will not punish you.
08:58This man is crazy.
08:59This man is dangerous.
09:01They only talk about destruction.
09:03So let's kill him.
09:06The priests were very angry when Jeremiah spoke in the temple.
09:13The Almighty Lord said,
09:15I will send the city to the neighboring peoples the punishments I have announced.
09:20Because they are stubborn and do not want to obey me.
09:26This man is crazy.
09:27What God are you talking about?
09:29Who is your God?
09:30The God of destruction?
09:32Enough!
09:33This is the people.
09:35Soldiers, arrest the man.
09:40Finally, what many had been waiting for happened.
09:43Jeremiah was arrested and many discounted their anger at him.
09:48He was chained and brutally whipped.
09:53You deserve it for saying that the city was going to be destroyed and that no one could live in it.
09:58Now chain him again.
10:00And let it serve as a lesson.
10:02Look, sir, how these people fight and mistreat me when I announce their messages.
10:07No, the whip, no!
10:09You understand?
10:11Anyone else would have been discouraged.
10:14Imagine.
10:16Anyone would be afraid.
10:18It was horrible.
10:19But Jeremiah did not.
10:21And do you know why?
10:22Because he was stubborn?
10:24No, not because he was stubborn.
10:27But because he wanted to obey God.
10:30And he knew that his people would be destroyed.
10:34My God, I'm going through all this to announce your message.
10:38But if I tell myself that I will not think of you and that I will not speak of your name again,
10:44then your word turns into fire inside me and burns me.
10:48And I can not keep quiet.
10:50Very well, Jeremiah.
10:52Let's let him go this time.
10:54I hope you have learned the lesson.
10:57Stop talking about these crazy things, because next time we will not be so nice to you.
11:02You and your family will be arrested and in prison you will die.
11:06Poor boy.
11:08He will never learn.
11:10Then Jeremiah was forbidden to speak to the crowd.
11:15Then he had an idea.
11:18Baruch, look, I was forbidden to go to the temple to pass on the message of God.
11:23So you go and say what God said.
11:26But Jeremiah, I do not know what I'm going to say.
11:28I will dictate what you must say.
11:30You will go to the temple and read my words.
11:34When Baruch read the scrolls dictated by Jeremiah,
11:38the people began to fear.
11:40It did not take long for the king and the priests to find out what was happening.
11:47Jeremiah was looking for confusion.
11:50My Lord, I have more news.
11:52What is it? Tell me.
11:54Baruch, the helper of Jeremiah, is in the temple reading a scroll containing messages from Jeremiah.
12:00Go to Baruch and bring him his scroll.
12:03If the king finds out ...
12:06Baruch was arrested while reading the scrolls and was taken to the king's guards.
12:12Sit down, Baruch, and read for everyone.
12:15Everyone was astonished.
12:18It was the same words of Jeremiah that spoke of destruction and punishment by God.
12:25How did you write this?
12:27Did Jeremiah dictate to you?
12:29Yes, he dictated each word and I wrote exactly as he said.
12:33Let's report this to the king.
12:35I think it's best.
12:36The king will be very angry.
12:38Listen, Baruch, you better go away and tell Jeremiah to hide,
12:42because when the king finds out, we can not imagine what will happen.
12:47When the officers were given the news,
12:50he asked them to read the contents of the scroll.
12:54Oops, now I was lost. Poor Jeremiah.
12:57While they read each paragraph,
13:00the king tore a piece of the scroll and threw it into the fire.
13:05This was done with each of the paragraphs he read.
13:09Neither the king, nor the officials were afraid,
13:12nor the guards were afraid.
13:16Neither the king, nor the officials were afraid,
13:19nor the guards were afraid.
13:23Later, the king sent for Jeremiah.
13:30Jeremiah, why did you write that the king of Babylon
13:34will destroy our country and kill our people and our animals?
13:38King Joachim, this is the word of the Lord.
13:42You will not have descendants of the kingdom of David.
13:45You, your descendants, and your officials will be punished for your sins,
13:49and I will make the catastrophes I have announced fall upon you.
13:53This is what the Lord said.
13:55What do you not understand, Jeremiah?
13:57Your words are worthless.
13:59You better go away.
14:01So much work of Baruch.
14:03They burned everything and wrote so much and everything turned to dust.
14:07Ah, the scrolls were destroyed.
14:11But Jeremiah was not afraid.
14:14On the contrary, he realized that the message of God was not heard,
14:18and that people did not care about his words.
14:22After four years, the Jews invaded
14:26the Babylonian people with Nabuchadnezzar.
14:31King Joachim of Judah wanted to fight without fear,
14:35because he was an enemy of Nabuchadnezzar.
14:46After seeing him dead, King Joachim proclaimed himself
14:50and this did not please Nabuchadnezzar.
14:54Joachim then fled.
14:56Zedekiah became king
14:59with the consent of Nabuchadnezzar.
15:05If you want to learn the name of this king,
15:31then repeat after me.
15:33Nabuchadnezzar!
15:40Nabuchadnezzar!
15:45Listen, narrator.
15:46If we are no longer in the mood to tell stories,
15:48we could make a duet and sing around the country, right?
15:51Everything happened as Jeremiah had said.
15:55There were no descendants of the kingdom of King Joachim.
15:59Nabuchadnezzar named Zedekiah, the king of Judah,
16:03the famous game.
16:06What?
16:07Do you know what a game is?
16:09Well, I know what it is.
16:11Well, how can I explain a game?
16:14I do not know, a game is a game.
16:17Very well.
16:18This is the piece that holds the neck of the animals.
16:23This is how they pull the plow
16:25when they prepare the land to sow.
16:28And the game, what does that have to do with Jeremiah?
16:32Why am I telling you this?
16:36Listen carefully.
16:38Jeremiah, what are you doing?
16:40The will of God.
16:42We do not understand.
16:44God asked me to make a game and some ties,
16:47and asked me to put them on my neck
16:49as a sign of submission to the king of Babylon.
16:52They thought he was crazy.
16:55And the king?
16:57The king.
17:00Jeremiah, why do you carry this game?
17:03It is a sign of submission.
17:05And what does that mean?
17:06It means, King Zedekiah,
17:08that you have to submit to the king of Babylon.
17:11If you obey, you will live.
17:13But the sorcerers and the wise men said something else.
17:16Do not listen to them.
17:18Do not listen to them.
17:19They are deceiving you.
17:21Jeremiah, you always disconcerted those who listened to him.
17:25On this occasion, instead of being terrified,
17:28they understood it as a joke.
17:31Jeremiah carried his game everywhere, including the temple.
17:36Listen to me, Jeremiah.
17:38The Lord spoke to me and said to me,
17:41I will break the game of the king of Babylon,
17:44and in two years I will return the objects of the temple.
17:47Is that so?
17:49I hope the Lord does that.
17:51Ananias, do you think you are a prophet?
17:54But let's see if what he says will happen.
17:56Oh, yeah?
17:58Just look at what I do with your game.
18:04In this way, I will take the game of Nabucodonosor from all nations
18:08and I will break it.
18:10I will do this for two years.
18:12Ananias, the Lord said that you broke a wooden game,
18:16but he will send you an iron one.
18:19He will make even the animals submit to Nabucodonosor.
18:23In addition, Ananias, the Lord said that he did not send you any message.
18:28Therefore, he will die this year,
18:30because he put the people against him with his lies.
18:34Ananias died that same year.
18:42The Babylonians invaded the city of Jerusalem,
18:46and Nabucodonosor, the king of Babylon,
18:49ordered his armies to enter the city victoriously.
18:54He camped in a valley near the place.
18:58The king and his sons left the city and fled to the south.
19:02Send the knights to catch them.
19:04I want them alive.
19:06They're going to Jericho.
19:08They can't go faster than we can.
19:10Sir, the soldiers are chasing us on horseback.
19:13We can't run.
19:15Jordan is not far.
19:16Come on, hurry up.
19:20Do not kill the king or his sons,
19:23but kill all the others.
19:26All died, except the king and his sons,
19:30who were arrested and taken to the king in Nabucodonosor.
19:39Zedekiah, king of Judah, why did you not surrender?
19:43Now, as punishment, your sons will be killed before you,
19:47and you will be blind,
19:49and will be taken to Babylon, tied up.
19:52No, my poor children.
19:55Why did I not listen to Jeremiah?
20:07He does not look like a king.
20:09Come on, king of Judah.
20:12My children are dead.
20:15Forgive me, my God.
20:18Thus, all that Jeremiah had foreseen had been fulfilled.
20:23The king of Nabucodonosor offered all protection to Jeremiah.
20:28Soldier, take good care of Jeremiah and give him everything he needs.
20:33No, sir.
20:42Have you seen the prophet Jeremiah?
20:45Who is Jeremiah?
20:47It is I.
20:49Are you Jeremiah, the prophet?
20:51Yes.
20:52What do you want?
20:54Come with me.
20:55Take the prophet's chains off.
20:57He is free.
21:01The king ordered me to give you protection and care.
21:04If you want to see me, I will take care of you,
21:07but if you do not want to see me, you can stay.
21:10You have all the freedom to choose.
21:13Poor man.
21:14He is very confused.
21:16Very well.
21:17If you do not want to see me, you can stay with Gedalias.
21:20The king of Babylon appointed him governor of Judah.
21:24Decide with him where you want to stay.
21:27At last, it was time to release Jeremiah.
21:31Yes.
21:32Jeremiah was released.
21:35Meanwhile, the entire Jewish people was enslaved by the Babylonians.
21:40Jeremiah stayed in the city of Mishpah with Gedalias, the new governor of Judah.
21:46Jeremiah accompanied Baruch, secretary of Gedalias,
21:50the princess and the poor people who now lived in Judah.
21:54Jeremiah had remained under the protection of the Babylonians,
21:58but the rest of the people were enslaved.
22:02The Babylonian army burned the temple, the palace,
22:06the main buildings, and demolished the wall of Jerusalem.
22:10And I thought it was time for everyone to be happy.
22:18One night, some of the officials of the Jewish troops who had stayed there
22:23went to see Gedalias hidden.
22:27Gedalias, my lord.
22:29We came to ask for your protection.
22:31We don't want to be taken to Babylon.
22:33All right, Ishmael.
22:35I give you and the rest my word.
22:38You will not be taken to Babylon.
22:40Are you sure, Gedalias?
22:42Yes.
22:43If you stay here and serve the king of Babylon, you will be safe.
22:47I will represent you and all the people when the Babylonians come here.
22:52You can keep wine, fruit, and olive oil,
22:56and live well in any vineyard that is unoccupied.
23:02So they stayed with Gedalias, and the news spread,
23:07and many Jews who had gone to live in other cities
23:11returned and presented themselves to Gedalias,
23:14and kept storing wine and fruit in large quantities.
23:19So not everything went wrong.
23:21Gedalias became his protector.
23:24Whoever was with him was completely safe.
23:28But despite this...
23:31Gedalias, King Bales of Amon sent Ishmael to kill you.
23:35No.
23:36That can't be true.
23:38Ishmael is my friend.
23:40But it's true.
23:42Let me kill Ishmael first.
23:44We can't let you die.
23:46If you die, all the Jews who came back here will leave,
23:49and it would be the ruin of the few who remain in Judah.
23:52I order you not to do that.
23:54What you're saying about Ishmael is not true.
23:57Ishmael is not true.
24:27And the Word will always obey
24:35It's time to understand
24:39It's time to follow
24:43We are defeated
24:46Without a place to go
24:50God will welcome us
24:54His Word will save
24:58And His people He will guide
25:06It was for so much pain
25:09That God went away
25:13We must return
25:17To Him
25:21Gedalias will pray
25:25And God will hear
25:29And the Word will always obey
25:47Welcome, Ishmael.
25:50Please, come in.
25:52Come have dinner with me tonight.
25:54Of course.
25:56Thank you for the invitation.
25:59It's a great pleasure to have Ishmael and his men having dinner with us.
26:14Kill them all.
26:16Don't leave anyone alive.
26:18Ishmael, don't do this.
26:23It's not fair.
26:25Yes, yes, I know.
26:28But I have to continue telling this story.
26:32In the end, you will draw your own conclusions.
26:36All right, go on.
26:38So, Ishmael's men killed Gedalias
26:43and all the most important men in the city.
26:47They took the others as hostages
26:49and wanted to take them to the Land of Love.
26:57But some managed to escape
26:59and reached where the rest of the Jewish soldiers were
27:03who served the people of Babylon.
27:06Then the soldiers freed all the prisoners
27:10and killed Ishmael and his people.
27:14Another battle?
27:15What a horrible thing.
27:17But I think justice has been served.
27:19What happened to Jeremiah?
27:24The Lord God of Israel said,
27:27Stay in this land and I will make you prosper.
27:30Fear not the King of Babylon.
27:33I am with you to save you.
27:36If you go to Egypt, you will die.
27:45Hooray!
27:48Hooray!
28:15If you listen, surely God will help you.
28:19Obey God, hear His voice.
28:24Jeremiah said so and the people did not listen.
28:28If you obey the voice of God,
28:31if you serve Him with your heart,
28:33surely He will protect you.
28:37You will find happiness,
28:40God's love will protect you
28:42and with joy everyone will sing.
28:46Obey God, hear His voice.
28:51If you listen with your heart, He will help you.
28:55Obey God, hear His voice.
29:00Obedience brings happiness.
29:04Obey God, hear His voice.
29:13Obey God, hear His voice.
29:18Obey Him, follow Him and He will help you.
29:22Obey God, hear His voice.
29:28Then you will find happiness.
29:31Obey God, hear His voice.
29:36Jeremiah heard the message and obeyed.
29:40Amen!
29:46Now I understand everything.
29:47Jeremiah obeyed.
29:49That's what made him a hero, not the battles.
29:52Exactly.
29:54He faced kings, priests and soldiers
29:58even when he was at risk of being killed.
30:01And all to announce the message of God.
30:04Which was for the good of the people.
30:07And what happened next?
30:09All who stayed went to Egypt.
30:12And it happened what Jeremiah had announced.
30:16But they came back and their country was still invaded?
30:22That, my dear friend, is another story.
