Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 25:9
I will put it into the heart of all those kings whose territories lie northward of Judea, and particularly into the heart of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, who in this work shall be my servant; though you will not be my servants in obeying my commands, yet he shall serve me, Jeremiah 27:6; Jeremiah 43:10. I will bring them and their armies up against this people, and I will put you out of hopes from your alliances with other nations, for he shall first bring them under his command: thus we... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 25:10
I will take away all your mirth and jollity, whether used at weddings, or at any of your merry meetings; I will leave you nothing to rejoice in; your very wedding times shall be times of mourning and lamentation. Nay, I will not only deprive you of your mirth, but of those things that are necessary for you, as necessary as bread and light; the millstone shall not move; you shall not have the light so much as of a candle. See the like expressions Revelation 18:22,Revelation 18:23. God here... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 25:11
This prophecy is a famous prophecy in regard of its fixing the particular space of time in which the Jews abode in the captivity of Babylon, viz. seventy years. When they determined we are plainly enough told, Ezra 1:1, in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, but when they commenced is more disputed; for we read of three carryings into that captivity: the one in the third and fourth year of Jehoiakim, when it should seem that Nebuchadrezzar only carried away some few persons to be bred... read more

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

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 :). As a result, Yahweh will bring the victorious Babylonians against both Judah and the surrounding peoples to lay them waste, and the supremacy of Babylon shall last... read more
