Baruch's Story God called Jeremiah to write down his words from God on a scroll for all of Israel.Then Jerimiah called Baruch for assistance.Baruch lived around the time of 722BC, and lived in Judah at the time Israel became the Divided Kingdom. Baruch was the disiple of Jerimiah, and the son of Nerias. After the temple of Jerusalem had been plundered, Baruch wrote down the prophecies of Jerimiah, which said That the Babylonians would come back again. Baruch read these prophecies to the people, but this angered the The king Joachim, so much that he burned the scrolls.He wrote them a second time only this time they were expanded.Baruch continued to spread the word of the God to the Jews even though his life was at risk. The prophecies were right and the Babylonians did come back, and captured the Holy City leading to the Babyloian captivity. The Book of Baruch is speacial because it was written by Baruch. It is written in six Chapters, and is mainly a book on repentance to God for not listening to his warnings.The sixth chapter is one of the most important. It says that Baruch wrote this during the fifth year of captivity. It is more distinct from the rest of the chapters and has the title, "The Epistle of Jeremiah".
