Teaching Points The Certainty of God's WarningsJust as the voice from Dan and Ephraim proclaimed disaster, God's warnings through His prophets are certain and should be heeded. Ignoring them leads to inevitable consequences. The Consequences of Idolatry Dan and Ephraim were centers of idolatry, reminding us that turning away from God to serve other "gods" leads to spiritual and often physical ruin. The Role of Prophets Prophets like Jeremiah were tasked with delivering difficult messages. We should value and listen to those who speak God's truth, even when it is uncomfortable. God's Desire for Repentance Despite the warnings of disaster, God's ultimate desire is for His people to repent and return to Him. His warnings are acts of mercy, giving us a chance to change our ways. The Importance of Spiritual Vigilance The disaster proclaimed from the north serves as a reminder to remain spiritually vigilant and not become complacent in our faith.(15) Dan . . . Mount Ephraim.--The two places are chosen, not like Dan and Beer-sheba, as extreme limits, but as stages in the march of the invader: first Dan (as in Jeremiah 8:16), the northernmost point (Deuteronomy 34:1; Judges 20:1) of the whole land of Israel, then Mount Ephraim, as the northern boundary of Judaea. The verbs grow in strength with the imagined nearness, first announce, as of a rumour from a distance, then proclaim, as of a danger more imminent. Affliction.--In the Hebrew the same word (aven) as in the "thoughts of vanity." Playing on the two aspects of the word, the prophet says that aven comes as the penalty of aven--the "nothingness" of destruction as that of the "nothingness" of the idol. Verse 15. - For a voice declareth, etc. There is no time to lose, for already news of the foe has arrived. He is now at Dan, the northern frontier-town, and is heard of almost as soon in the hill-country of Ephraim.Parallel Commentaries ...
