Choice Reading- New Bible Dictionary

I chose to read a passage in Jeremiah. This passage talked about the destruction and the fall of Jerusalem. It talks about King Zedekiah and how he fled when his city was invaded. However, he was captured and his family was killed before him. That was the last thing he saw before King Nebuchadnezzar had his eyes put out. The city was taking over and the temple was burned and only a few poor people remained in the land. I read this because I had to read a passage for class. While I was reading this I was making connections to other passages in the bible this relates to, such as passages in 2 Chronicles and Ezekiel. I also used reading strategies to make connections with how to break down a passage for another class that I am in. So I can apply what I read, and how I read a passage for one class and apply it to the other. I also used the strategy of re reading because sometimes it is hard to understand bible passages the first time you read them. You have to take a deeper and more in depth look at what you are reading. I took notes, which is another strategy so it would be easier to break down and understand the information in the passage.
