He foretells the remnant of the vessels shall be carried to Babylon, Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon This phrase indicates a divine message intended for multiple nations surrounding Judah. Edom, Moab, and Ammon were neighboring nations east of the Jordan River, often in conflict with Israel. Tyre and Sidon were prominent Phoenician cities to the north, known for their trade and wealth. The inclusion of these nations highlights the widespread impact of Babylonian dominance. Historically, these regions had complex relationships with Israel, sometimes allies, other times adversaries. The message signifies God's sovereignty over all nations, not just Israel, and foreshadows the coming judgment through Babylon. through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah Persons / Places / Events 1. JeremiahA prophet called by God to deliver messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah and surrounding nations. 2. Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon Neighboring nations of Judah, each with its own history of interactions with Israel and Judah, often characterized by conflict and alliances. 3.

Teaching Points God's Sovereignty Over NationsJeremiah 27:3 reminds us that God is sovereign over all nations, not just Israel. He directs the affairs of kingdoms according to His purposes. The Role of Prophets Prophets like Jeremiah were tasked with delivering God's messages, often in politically charged environments. This underscores the importance of faithfulness to God's word, even when it is unpopular. Political Alliances and Trust in God The presence of envoys in Jerusalem suggests political maneuvering. Believers are reminded to place their ultimate trust in God rather than in human alliances or strategies. Judgment and Mercy While God pronounces judgment on nations, His ultimate desire is for repentance and restoration. This dual theme is a call to examine our own lives and align with God's will. The Importance of Obedience Zedekiah's account is a cautionary tale about the consequences of disobedience to God's commands. Obedience to God leads to blessing, while rebellion leads to judgment. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 27Jeremiah 48:7 references Moab’s deity Kemosh going into captivity; is there any historical or biblical corroboration of this event? In Jeremiah 12:14, God mentions punishing invading neighbors. Are there historical records confirming such invasions or conflicts? Jeremiah 34:3 - How could God promise Zedekiah would not die by the sword if 2 Kings 25:7 says Nebuchadnezzar blinded him and took him captive? Did the Moabite king sacrifice his son?(3) And send them to the king of Edom.--The princes that are named had, as the context shows, sent their ambassadors to Zedekiah, proposing an alliance against Nebuchadnezzar. They are named in the same order as in the prophecy of Jeremiah 25:21-22, which had been delivered fifteen years before. The prophecy then delivered had been in part fulfilled, but these princes were still struggling against it, encouraged, apparently, by the difficulties which in Media and elsewhere seemed to delay the complete triumph of the Chaldaean king; and the prophet is commissioned to tell all of them alike that their efforts are in vain, and that the supremacy of Babylon was, for the time, part of God's order, for the chastisement of the nations. In Jeremiah 49 we have a fuller, and probably later, development of the same strain of prediction.Verse 3. - And send them, etc. The letter of the text certainly suggests that Jeremiah actually delivered a separate yoke to each of the five ambassadors. Some commentators, however, finding such an act almost incredible, suppose the statement to be allegorical, and the "sending of the yoke" to mean the declaration of the subjection of the nations to Nebuchadnezzar which follows, somewhat as in Jeremiah 25:15 the "causing all the nations to drink "means the utterance of a prophecy of woe to the various peoples concerned. But we can hardly pronounce upon this passage by itself. We have to consider whether a whole group of similar statements is or is not to be taken literally. It may be enough to instance Jeremiah 13:1-7. Which come; rather, which are come. Parallel Commentaries ...
