Jeremiah 36
Jeremiah spent some 23 years prophesying to the people of Judah. He was commanded from God to compile these prophesies in a scroll, so that they could be read to the people of Judah. Jeremiah was not free to speak to the people (v. 5). It took a year to write the scroll (v. 1, 9) The reading of the scroll left a profound raction on some of the princes but King Jehoiakim burnt Jeremiah scroll. God had protected Jeremiah and hid him.

Application:
Sin has its consequence. Whatever is sown will be reaped. There is mercy shown before the actual punishment. Mercy precedes judgement. Jehoiakim ignored God's warning and burnt the scroll. He reaped what he sowed.

Verses to meditate on:
26 Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.

Psalm 87, with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 87 is a a psalms of the sons of Korah which is a celebration of the Zion as the city of God. The psalm mentioned how God loved Zion, the Most High will establish her. We should not only thonk about Zion then in the days of the sons of korah but what Zion would be like in the Millenial Kingdom and as the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21).
