G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 25:1-38

Still speaking to Zedekiah, Jeremiah reminded him of the word which came in the fourth year of Jehoiakim. It was a message announcing the judgment of God against Judah, Babylon, the nations, the world. With regard to Judah, the reason for the judgment was her persistent sin. Notwithstanding that Jehovah had spoken constantly and called them to return to obedience, they had not hearkened. The judgment foretold was the conquest of Judah by Babylon, and her captivity for seventy years. ... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:1-38

SECTION 1. An Overall Description Of Jeremiah’s Teaching Given In A Series Of Accumulated, Mainly Undated, Prophecies, Concluding With Jeremiah’s Own Summary Of His Ministry (Jeremiah 2:4 to Jeremiah 25:38 ). From this point onwards up to chapter 25 we have a new major section (a section in which MT and LXX are mainly similar) which records the overall teaching of Jeremiah, probably given mainly during the reigns of Josiah (Jeremiah 3:6) and Jehoiakim, although leading up to the days of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:2

‘Which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,’ The fact that the words were spoken to ‘all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem’ suggests it was at a festal occasion when all the people had gathered to the Central Sanctuary. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 25:1-38

Jeremiah 25. The Supremacy of Babylon over Judah and the Nations. Jeremiah 25:1-1 Kings : . In the year 604 (after the Babylonian victory over Egypt at Carchemish, 605 B.C., cf. Jeremiah 46:2), Jeremiah publicly reviews his ministry (since 626; cf. Jeremiah 1:2) . which has failed to produce repentance ( Jeremiah 25:1-Judges :).

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 25:1-38

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter: “Fourth year of Jehoiakim” (Jeremiah 25:1). It is stated the third year in Daniel 1:1; but Hales (“Sacred Chron.”) shows that Jehoiakim was made king by Pharaoh Necho of Egypt in July B.C. 607; whereas Nebuchadnezzar mounted the throne January 21, B.C. 604: and thus Nebuchadnezzar’s first year included parts of both the third and fourth of Jehoiakim. In the Chaldean cylinders [placing all chronology back by twenty-two years] these... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 25:1-38

Chapter 25The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim ( Jeremiah 25:1 ).So now we're going back in time. This was before Zedekiah was king. This was when Jehoiakim was king. Jehoiakim reigned for eleven years. He was a very evil king, but he was the son of Josiah who reigned for thirty-one years. Jeremiah was called to prophesy in the thirteenth year of Josiah's reign. So Josiah is now dead. He's been dead for four years, so it happened in... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 25:1-38

Jeremiah 25:1 . In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the first year of Nebuchadrezzar. Daniel says the third year, Daniel 1:1. The campaign could not be less than a year; the variation arises from the periods of calculation. Dean Prideaux, with great care places the fall of Nineveh in the twenty ninth year of Josiah, and that Nebuchadrezzar, then a martial prince, joined his forces to those of the Medes in the overthrow of that city. He served under his father about five years, till this... read more
