F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

a Vain Attempt to Destroy God’s Word Jeremiah 36:1-32 These written words had been directly given from God, Jeremiah 36:18 . The fast was instituted to seek divine help in the approaching conflict with Nebuchadnezzar. But of what good is a fast while the evils of apostasy and disobedience are unredressed? It was against these that Jeremiah protested; and his words were read to a vast concourse of people by Baruch his faithful friend. It was the month of December, and the royal chamber was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 36:1-32

This chapter constitutes an interpolation in the chronological order of Jeremiah's prophesying. In detail it tells the story of the writing of the words of Jeremiah in a book to which he had incidentally made reference in his introduction to the prophecies of hope. The command had come to him in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim. He had called Baruch, to whom he had committed the deed of the purchase of the field in Anathoth, and had dictated to him all the words committed to him by... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

The Word of the Lord Jeremiah 36:1-32 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We want to show you how it was that Jeremiah spoke not his own words, but the words of the Lord. In order to do this, we want to place before you Scripture and verse, showing that the word of the Lord came to the Prophet. Jeremiah 1:1-2 To whom the word of the Lord came. Jeremiah 1:4 The word of the Lord came unto me. Jeremiah 1:9 The Lord put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put My words... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 36:7

A DREAD UNCERTAINTY‘It may be.’ Jeremiah 36:3; Jeremiah 36:7 The words tell of an awful uncertainty as to the future of the chosen people.Will they repent? ‘It may be——’Let us recognise— I. The even balance.—Could anything be more soul-stirring than to realise that a crisis so momentous had come? In Jeremiah 36:3 it is the voice of God, in Jeremiah 36:7 the voice of Jeremiah in echo. Divine love and prophetic zeal were linked in a supreme effort to turn the scale of destiny for a whole... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 36:1-32

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). (continued). As we have previously seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of What Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New Covenant Written In... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 36:4-8

Jeremiah Calls On Baruch To Act As His Amanuensis And Having Dictated His Prophecies Sends Him To The Temple To Read Them Out To The Crowds Who Are Gathered There On A Special Fast Day (Jeremiah 36:4-8 ). One of the purposes of the writing out of the prophecies at this time would appear to be that a special fast day was to be called some months later to which all the people of Judah were to be summoned. The purpose of that fast day was probably in order to persuade the gods who were being... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 36:1-32

Jeremiah 36. The Writing of the Roll.— This chapter narrates how the oral prophecies of Jeremiah were first put into writing (604 B.C.). The account is obviously important for the criticism of this book see Introduction, § 4, for the probable contents of the roll. The circumstances also throw light on the origin of written prophecy in general; the failure of the oral testimony ( Jeremiah 36:3 cf. Isaiah 8:1; Isaiah 8:16; Isaiah 30:8) led to its preservation through writing. The pioneers... read more

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
