Jump to Previous Ear Hearken Hearkening Message WordJump to Next Ear Hearken Hearkening Message WordJeremiah 44 1. Jeremiah expresses the desolation of Judah for their idolatry11. He prophesies the destruction of those who commit idolatry in Egypt 15. The obstinacy of the Jews 20. For which Jeremiah threatens them 29. and for a sign prophesies the destruction of Egypt As for the word you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD This phrase indicates a direct rejection of a prophetic message. Jeremiah, a prophet during the late 7th and early 6th centuries BC, often delivered messages from God to the people of Judah. The phrase "in the name of the LORD" signifies that Jeremiah's message was not his own but was divinely inspired. This reflects the common biblical theme of prophets speaking on behalf of God, as seen in Deuteronomy 18:18-19, where God promises to raise up a prophet like Moses. The people's acknowledgment of the message being from the LORD highlights their awareness of its divine origin, yet they choose to reject it. we will not listen to you! Persons / Places / Events 1. JeremiahA prophet called by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah. He is known for his perseverance in delivering God's word despite opposition and persecution. 2. The People of Judah The audience of Jeremiah's message in this chapter. They are living in Egypt after fleeing there to escape the Babylonian conquest of Judah. 3. Egypt The place where the remnant of Judah has settled, despite God's warnings against going there. It represents a place of disobedience and reliance on human strength rather than God's provision. 4. The LORD (Yahweh) The covenant God of Israel, who speaks through Jeremiah, calling His people to repentance and obedience. 5. The Rejection of God's Word The event where the people of Judah openly reject the prophetic message delivered by Jeremiah, choosing instead to follow their own desires. Teaching Points The Danger of Rejecting God's WordIgnoring God's commands leads to spiritual and often physical consequences. The people of Judah chose to reject God's message, leading to further judgment. The Importance of Obedience True faith is demonstrated through obedience to God's word. The people of Judah failed to trust and obey, serving as a warning for us today. The Role of Prophets and God's Messengers God uses His messengers to communicate His will. We must be discerning and receptive to God's word, whether it comes through Scripture, teaching, or other means. The Consequences of Idolatry Placing anything above God leads to spiritual downfall. The people of Judah's idolatry in Egypt is a reminder to guard against modern forms of idolatry. Trusting in God's Sovereignty Despite circumstances, we must trust in God's plan and provision. The remnant's decision to flee to Egypt shows a lack of trust in God's sovereignty. Parallel Commentaries ...
