エレミヤ書 27:4-8 JC

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:5

Verse 5 Then follow these words, I have made the earth, the man and the beast, which are on the face of the earth, by my great power, and by mine extended arm. (179) The spectacle would have been unmeaning and to no purpose, had Jeremiah only put the yoke on his neck, and added no instruction; for we know that all signs are as it were dead, except life is given them by the word. As then an image avails not much, so whatever signs may be set before our eyes, they would be frivolous and without... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:6

Verse 6 God, after having claimed to himself the government of the whole earth, and shewn that it is in his power to transfer kingdoms to whom he pleases, now declares his decree — that he would subject to the king of Babylon all the neighboring lands, even Tyrus and Sidon, the country of Moab, the country of Ammon, the country of Edom, and even Judea itself. If Jeremiah had begun by saying, that God had given to King Nebuchadnezzar these lands, the prediction would not have been so easily... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:7

Verse 7 Serve him shall all nations, and his son, and the son of his son The greater part think that Nebuchadnezzar had only two successors of his own posterity, Evil-merodach and Belshazar; others name five, and two of them between Evil-merodach and Belshazar. Those who think that there were no more than three, quote this testimony of the Prophet, for he names only the king’s son and his grandson; but this would be no sufficient reason. I am, however, disposed to follow what has been more... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:8

Verse 8 After having promulgated his decree by the mouth of Jeremiah, God now adds a threatening, in order that the Jews as well as others might willingly, and with resigned and humble minds, undertake the yoke laid on them. The Prophet, indeed, as we have said, had the Jews more especially in view; but he extended, as it were by accident, his prediction to aliens. We hence see why this denunciation of punishment was added. It ought, indeed, to have been enough to say, that Nebuchadnezzar was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 27:1-11

Jehovah's consideration towards some neighbors of Israel. I. GOD FORESEES THE NATURAL PROBABILITY OF A STRUGGLE . Nebuchadnezzar and his hosts are not to drop from the clouds on the land of Jehovah's people whom Jehovah has now doomed. These hosts come from a distant land, and have many intervening lands to pass through; and how can they pass through in any but a destroying, impoverishing fashion? If the King of Babylon is to reach Jerusalem, the lands here mentioned must... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 27:1-22

Divine judgments not to be resisted. A conference of ambassadors from neighboring nations had been held at Zedekiah's court to consider plans of revolt against Nebuchadnezzar. The king himself and a patriotic party were bent upon resistance. This movement Jeremiah checked at its very outset by his symbolical warning. I. GOD IS RULER OF ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH . He made them, and controls their destinies. Of the earth he says, "I have given it unto whom it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 27:5

The rights of the Creator. This address on the rights of the Creator is made to heathen men because God has rights over all men, and because they who cannot yet understand his higher character may be able to recognize his natural rights. I. THE FOUNDATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE CREATOR . 1. They rest on the fact that all things that exist were created . It is a fundamental axiom of science that everything that has a beginning must have a cause. The universal... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 27:5-6

Jehovah is the Creator and Proprietor of the earth and all that is therein. Therefore he can give any part of it to whomsoever he will. Therefore, Jeremiah being his trustworthy prophet, the kings are called upon to take notice that Jehovah has transferred their kingdoms to Nebuchadnezzar. Observe, in Jeremiah 27-29. the form employed is not "Nebuchadnezzar," but "Nebuchadnezzar" (so also Jeremiah 34:1 ; Jeremiah 39:5 ). (See on Jeremiah 21:7 .) read more
