Default Day 237. Jeremiah 43-45 - 12-09-2009, 10:25 PM

Jeremiah 43-45

Jeremiah 43

1 And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

At the end of our last reading Johanan had just told Jeremiah that they would do whatever it was that the LORD wanted them to do. So Jeremiah told them God wanted them to stay in Judah.

2 Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:

Even when there are only a couple hundred Jews remaining, they still don't want to listen to what the LORD has to say.

3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.


What the hell does Baruch benefit from having the people taken to Babylon. Hmmm, remember that some people think that Baruch is also Ebedmelech the Ethiopian... Ebedmelech may not necessarily have been from Ethiopia, he was just a negro. Is it possible that Baruch is a negro. Do you know a name that sounds like Baruch and is actually a version of that name... give you a hint, he's also a negro.

5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;


Great, instead of being taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar, Johanan took them all to Egypt.

God talked to Jeremiah in the town of Tahpanhes.

9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

Yay, more performance art by Jeremiah.

10 And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

Now Nebuchadnezzar is destined to take over Egypt. He's also going to destroy all the Egyptian gods.

Jeremiah 44

Lets hear that again...

2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

God wanted to do evil to the people...

3 Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.

The people brought it on themselves...

4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.

God sent people to warn...

5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.

They didn't listen...

6 Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.

So God actually did the bad thing...

9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

The people brought it on themselves...

13 For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:

God's going to destroy them in Egypt...

15 Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

The people brought it on themselves...

22 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

The people brought it on themselves...

27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.

God's going to destroy them in Egypt...

Stop me if you think you've read this chapter before.

Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

Fourth year of Jehoiakim? 605?

Ok, so we have just gone from Jeremiah and everyone else moving to Egypt in 586 to 605. Interesting arrangement of chapters here.

3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.


This chapter is 5 verses. It's basically part of the tale of Baruch. Baruch wanted to be a great prophet like Jeremiah. He just wasn't a prophet. This saddened him. All the other great prophets had a guy who followed them around and also became a prophet. (Elisha with Elijah; Joshua with Moses) But Baruch never could open his mouth and prophesy. To this God pretty much told him, that there was going to be no more need for prophesy.

So what have we learned today?

1. Don't go asking God what He wants to happen when you have already made your mind up about what you are going to do. If you do your own thing when he tells you not to, there's a chance he won't forgive you and may just go ahead and destroy you.

2. God wanted to do evil to the people; the people brought it on themselves; God sent people to warn; they didn't listen; so God actually did the bad thing; the people brought it on themselves; God's going to destroy them in Egypt; the people brought it on themselves; the people brought it on themselves; God's going to destroy them in Egypt. (quick summation of Jeremiah 44)

3. Baruch wasn't given the gift of prophesy because God didn't want to waste the gift on a person who would have no one to prophesy too.
