Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—“Fourth of Jehoiakim.” See Note on chap. 25.2. National Affairs.—Jehoiakim was at that time vassal of Pharoah-Necho; but Nebuchadnezzar invaded Jerusalem, carried off a few prisoners and some of the Temple treasures (Daniel 1:1-2), and compelled Jehoiakim to become his vassal, thus subjugating the nation to Babylon instead of Egypt. This was a sore pang and degradation to Jehoiakim; and when Jeremiah prophesied (Jeremiah 36:29) that... read more

DISCOURSE: 1081JEHOIAKIM BURNS THE SACKED ROLLJeremiah 36:27-28. Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, (after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah,) saying, Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.TRUTH has peculiar force, when it is embodied, and exhibited in action. A speculative view of it may perhaps be derived as well from... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

This time shall we turn to Jeremiah chapter 36 as we continue our journey through the Word of God towards heaven.Now as we have pointed out, the prophecies of Jeremiah are not in chronological order but they sort of skip around, and so it is important at the beginning of each chapter where Jeremiah locates for you the time and usually the place of the prophecy so that you'll be able to fit it more into the historic events. Because you just can't read Jeremiah in a chronological order, it isn't... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 36:1-32

Jeremiah 36:1 . The fourth year of Jehoiakim. Though this chapter seems out of its place, yet it may not be so, but may be a reference to past events. Jeremiah 36:2 . Take thee a roll of a book. Ancient volumes of parchment were rolled, and sometimes on a staff. The writing was in columns from the right to the left, so that the reader could with ease coil up in his right hand what he had read. Jeremiah 36:3 . It may be that the house of Judah will hear that I may forgive their... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 36:27-32

Jeremiah 36:27-32Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words.The Word of God cannot be burntI. The Word of God is imperishable. The truth is not pen and ink, parchment and words, but a force of an unchangeable character. It borrows material forms for garments, and uses outward methods for expression; these change, but truth never. Changes are observable in nature, but its laws remain firm. The process of destruction and restitution is ever on the march. The lily will... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 36:27

Jer 36:27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, Ver. 27. Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. ] Jehoiakim took an ill course to free himself from trouble, as he counted it, by burning the roll; for God’s Word cannot be burnt, no more than it can be bound. 2Ti 2:9 And "shall they thus escape by iniquity?" No, verily; for it followeth, and is not more votum than vaticinium,... read more
