エレミヤ書 28:2-4 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 28:1-17

How to answer those who oppose the truth. Where the light is there will be the deepest shadow; the truth is ever sharply defined against falsehood. Just when it was most important that the will of God and the real position of Israel should be ascertained, there were many striving to deceive and misrepresent. The behavior of Jeremiah on this occasion was twofold. I. ACCORDING TO HUMAN KNOWLEDGE AND JUDGMENT . 1. With moderation . "Amen: the Lord do so." Under such... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 28:1-17

A false prophet and his fate. I. HANANIAH 'S PRESUMPTION . Note his direct challenge to the true prophet . He seeks out Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, "in the presence of the priests and of all the people." A prophet was, of course, bound to make his utterances in public, but Hananiah waited his chance until he found an opportunity of bearding the hated Jeremiah in as open a way as possible. He speaks explicitly in the Name of Jehovah . He is not afraid to take the great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 28:2

Hananiah opens his prophecy with the usual formula, claiming Divine inspiration in the fullest sense. His message is short and sweet: I have broken— i.e. I have decreed to break (the perfect of prophetic certitude)— the yoke of the king of Babylon . Had Hananiah stopped here, he might, perhaps, have escaped Jeremiah's indignant rebuke. But with light-hearted arrogance he ventures to fix a time close at hand for the event, which, no doubt, was destined to occur, but after a long interval.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 28:4

And I will bring again … Jeconiah . Hananiah thus directly contradicts the assurance of Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 22:26 , Jeremiah 22:27 ) that Jehoiachin would not return, but would die in a foreign land. Has he a political object in his favorable prognostication for the deposed king? Does he, in short, belong to a Jehoiachin party opposed to the friends of Zedekiah? The view is possible, and may seem to be confirmed by the emphatic repetition of the fall of Nebuchadnezzar, the liege lord of... read more

Within two full years - literally, In yet two years even days. Hananiah probably was induced to fix this date by the expectation that the confederacy then on foot would defeat Nebuchadnezzar. read more

Jeconiah - Zedekiah not being popular, the people would have preferred the young king, who had not reigned long enough to make enemies. Probably also Zedekiah had started for Babylon Jeremiah 51:59. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 28:1-4

Jeremiah 28:1-4. And it came to pass the same year Namely, the same in which the preceding prophecy was delivered; for the words manifestly refer to the time specified at the beginning of the foregoing chapter, and confirm the conjecture there made, that Jehoiakim is put there, by a mistake in the copies, for Zedekiah: see note on Jeremiah 26:1, where the fourth year of Jehoiakim’s reign is termed the beginning of it. Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet That is, a pretended prophet.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:1-17

Hananiah’s false prophecy (28:1-17)One of the temple prophets, Hananiah, publicly contradicted Jeremiah. He asserted that he had received a revelation from God that showed that within two years Babylon would be overthrown. The captive people and the temple treasures would then return to Jerusalem (28:1-4). Jeremiah replied that he wished such would be the case (5-6), but wishing for a thing does not make it come true. Some prophesy doom, others prophesy peace, but when the events take place... read more
