耶利米書 27:4-7 CUNPTS

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

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 27:6-7

God's disposal of man's possessions. I. GOD HAS A RIGHT TO DISPOSE OF MAN 'S POSSESSIONS . He made them, and they are always his, only lent to be withdrawn or transferred when he wills. If the Lord gave, he has a right to take away ( Job 1:21 ). If he takes much, we should be thankful for what he leaves—for this even we have no claim. Nations should feel that God has rights over them. Their liberties are subject to his government, their territory to his disposal. II.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 27:7

Him, and his son, and his son's son . This is intelligible only if the seventy years predicted by Jeremiah in Jeremiah 25:11 , Jeremiah 25:12 , Jeremiah 29:10 , are a round number. Nebuchadnezzar died in B.C. 561, and was succeeded by his son Evil-Merodach, who, after two years, was put to death by Neriglissar. In B.C. 555 Laberosoarchod (?) became king, but after nine months a usurper belonging to another family, Nabonedus or Nabunita, ascended the throne, which he occupied till B.C.... read more
