エレミヤ書 27:15 JCB

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 27:14-15

Jeremiah told Zedekiah not to listen to the false prophets, who were advocating resistance, because Yahweh had not sent them. Listening to their advice would result in exile and death for the king and the false prophets."To underestimate the power of a lie in times of national distress is sheer folly." [Note: Feinberg, p. 545.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:1-22

1-29. Judah is warned to submit to Babylon.1. For Jehoiakim read ’Zedekiah’: see Jeremiah 27:3, Jeremiah 27:12, Jeremiah 27:20. The former word may be a copyist’s accidental repetition of Jeremiah 26:1. 2. It is plain from Jeremiah 28:10 that Jeremiah actually wore a yoke in public. 3. Messengers] These ambassadors had come to Jerusalem probably with the view of forming an alliance against Babylon. This, however, was not accomplished, as Zedekiah was compelled to go to Babylon and swear... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:1-32

Jeremiah’s Sixteenth Prophecy (Reign of Zedekiah, Earlier Part). The Babylonian YokeBabylon had already shown its power. Jehoiakim and the chief of the people had been carried captive. Zedekiah was king only on sufferance. The neighbouring nations were under those circumstances willing to make common cause with the Jews against Nebuchadnezzar, many of whom, however, refused to realise the gravity of the danger. In these chs., therefore, Jeremiah sets himself to show that the power of Babylon... read more

CHAPTER IXHANANIAHJeremiah 27:1-22, Jeremiah 28:1-17"Hear now, Hananiah; Jehovah hath not sent thee, but thou makest this people to trust in a lie."- Jeremiah 28:15THE most conspicuous point at issue between Jeremiah and his opponents was political rather than ecclesiastical. Jeremiah was anxious that Zedekiah should keep faith with Nebuchadnezzar, and not involve Judah in useless misery by another hopeless revolt. The prophets preached the popular doctrine of an imminent Divine intervention to... read more

CHAPTER 27 The Optimism of the False Prophets Contradicted 1. The call of Nebuchadnezzar to be the servant of God (Jeremiah 27:1-11 ) 2. The call to submit and to serve the king of Babylon (Jeremiah 27:12-22 ) Jeremiah 27:1-11 . It was in the earlier part of the reign of Zedekiah (Jehoiakim in Jeremiah 27:1 is a clerical error, see Jeremiah 27:3 and Jeremiah 27:12 ) that Jeremiah is commanded to make bonds and yokes to put them on his neck; then he was to send them to the surrounding... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 27:1-22

MORE MESSAGES FOR ZEDEKIAH In some respects the most important chapter here is the first, which deals with Babylon’s supremacy, and reveals the beginning of “the times of the Gentiles,” or “the fulness of the Gentiles” (Romans 11:25 ). The term refers to the period when Israel, because of her disobedience to God, has forfeited her place of power in the earth and is scattered among the nations. It begins when God transfers this power to the Gentiles as represented by Babylon, and continues... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 27:12-15

This must have been a painful service to Jeremiah, to go from one to another, and with messages of evil. All God's servants have done the same. Ezekiel 2:6; Ezekiel 2:6 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:12-18

12-18 Jeremiah persuades the king of Judah to surrender to the king of Babylon. Is it their wisdom to submit to the heavy iron yoke of a cruel tyrant, that they may secure their lives; and is it not much more our wisdom to submit to the pleasant and easy yoke of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, that we may secure our souls? It were well if sinners would be afraid of the destruction threatened against all who will not have Christ to reign over them. Why should they die the second death,... read more

The Special Message to Zedekiah v. 12. I spake to Zedekiah, king of Judah, applying the statements of the first part of the chapter to him and Judah in particular, according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him and his people and live, maintaining their national existence. v. 13. Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, deliberately inviting these scourges by their disobedience, as... read more
