<h4 id="ch1"><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'1-');">JEREMIAH 1:</a><br>Jeremiah's Call and Commission</h4>
|
|
<p id="a1"><b><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'1-3');">v. 1-3</a></b> Jeremiah was the son of Hilkiah, a priest in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. The word of the Lord came to him in the thirteenth year of the reign of King Josiah, who reinstituted spiritual reform and worship in the temple. The reform was only superficial in the hearts of the people, so God sent Jeremiah to tell the people, "Trust not in lying vanities" (<a onClick="return mV('Jer',7,4);">Jeremiah 7:4</a>). After King Josiah's death, during the reign of King Jehoiakim and King Zedekiah, Jeremiah was persecuted, accused of treason, and imprisoned.
|
|
<p id="a3"><b><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'4-5-');">v. 4-5</a></b> Jeremiah was set apart by God and ordained to be a prophet before he was born. This is an answer to the claims of the abortionists today. God's purposes for our lives are established from the beginning of time. We must discover and come into harmony with His plan. Our destiny has already been determined (<a onClick="return mV('Eph',2,10);">Ephesians 2:10</a>; <a onClick="return mV('Gal',1,15);">Galatians 1:15</a>).
|
|
<p id="a6"><b><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'6-7-');">v. 6-7</a></b> Jeremiah, somewhere between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five years, thought he was too young to be called of God. He considered himself a child. (The Hebrew word for "child" should be translated "young man.") The Lord commands Jeremiah to speak for Him. Jeremiah is aware of his inabilities, as so often we are when called of God (<a onClick="return mV('Exd',4,10);">Exodus 4:10</a>; <a onClick="return mV('Jdg',6,15);">Judges 6:15</a>; <a onClick="return mV('1Sa',9,'17-21');">1 Samuel 9:17-21</a>). God isn't looking for people of ability but of <I>availability</I>. God calls men to work in the power of His Spirit, not in their own strength (<a onClick="return mV('Zec',4,6);">Zechariah 4:6</a>).
|
|
<p id="a11"><b><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'8-10');">v. 8-10</a></b> God commands Jeremiah to "fear not" and then tells him of his calling (ministry).
|
|
<P>Corruption must be eliminated before a new work begins.
|
|
<p id="a12"><b><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'11');">v. 11</a></b> "I see a rod of an awakening tree". The Hebrew for "almond tree" is "awakening tree", because it's the first tree to awaken in the spring.
|
|
<p id="a13"><b><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'12');">v. 12</a></b> God will "watch over" His word to perform it.
|
|
<p id="a14"><b><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'13-15');">v. 13-15</a></b> This is a reference to Babylon and their coming invasion against Israel.
|
|
<p id="a15"><b><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'16');">v. 16</a></b> God pronounces judgment on their wickedness.
|
|
<p>Through archaeological findings in the area of the old city of David and dating back to the time of Jeremiah, multitudes of idols have been discovered among the dwellings. This confirms the word of the prophet Jeremiah.
|
|
<p id="a16"><b><a onClick="return mV('Jer',1,'17-19');">v. 17-19</a></b> Jeremiah is called to a difficult work. He faced Israel alone, knowing the people would fight against him. God laid out a ministry for Paul the Apostle, telling him what he would "suffer for His name's sake" (<a onClick="return mV('Act',9,'3-16');">Acts 9:3-16</a>). Christians should recognize that they may be called to suffer for Christ (<a onClick="return mV('Jhn',15,20);">John 15:20</a>; <a onClick="return mV('Mat',16,24);">Matthew 16:24</a>). The Lord promises to be our defense.

|
|
<p id="a20"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,' 1-2);">v. 1-2</a></b> God is calling to His people in much the same way as Jesus did to the church in Ephesus. (<a onClick="return mV('Rev',2,'1-5');">Revelation 2:1-5</a>).
|
|
<p id="a22"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'10');">v. 10</a></b> Chittim is called Cypress. She is considered to be the door to that whole part of the world. Kedar was the gateway to the east.
|
|
<p id="a23"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'11');">v. 11</a></b> Nations continue to serve their gods, yet God's people had turned away from the one true God.
|
|
<p id="a24"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'13');">v. 13</a></b> Water is often used as a symbol of the life because it's so essential for existence. The Lord speaks to us spiritually when He says, "I am the water of life". (<a onClick="return mV('Jhn',7,37);">John 7:37</a>, <a onClick="return mV('Jhn',7,4);">4:14</a>, <a onClick="return mV('Jhn',7,6);">6:35</a>; <a onClick="return mV('Rev',22,17);">Revelation 22:17</a>).
|
|
<p>Because of the lack of water in the area, the people depended on cisterns (reservoirs) for their supply. Run-off water was gathered but often stagnated. How often we stagnate spiritually, and broken cisterns leave us empty and thirsty.
|
|
<p id="a27"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'17');">v. 17</a></b> The people brought the plight upon themselves.
|
|
<p id="a28"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'18');">v. 18</a></b> Assyria was soon to fall to the Babylonians. Thus an alliance would be useless.
|
|
<p id="a29"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'20');">v. 20</a></b> The "high hill" and the "green tree" are places of worship.
|
|
<p id="a30"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'21');">v. 21</a></b> The "strange vine" is figuratively described in <a onClick="return mV('Isa',5,'1-');">Isaiah 5</a>.
|
|
<p id="a31"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'22');">v. 22</a></b> "Nitre", a residue found on the bottom of lakes, was often used for making soap.
|
|
<p id="a32"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'23');">v. 23</a></b> "Dromedary" is a camel.
|
|
<p id="a33"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'24');">v. 24</a></b> The figure of the wild donkey is one of a female in heat. She sniffs the wind trying to find a male donkey. She doesn't care what donkey she finds. God uses this illustration as a type of Israel, who had turned away from God to worship almost anything. "In her occasion" means "in the time of her season". "In her month" means "in her heat".
|
|
<p id="a34"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'25');">v. 27</a></b> "Stock" is a piece of wood carved into an idol.
|
|
<p id="a35"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',2,'28');">v. 28</a></b> Each of the cities had their own local pagan deities. It's a sad day when God turns a deaf ear to man. God vows this would happen if man persisted in sin and disobedience. (<a onClick="return mV('Mat',7,'22-23');">Matthew 7:22-23</a>; <a onClick="return mV('Jer',7,'15-16');">Jeremiah 7:15-16</a>, <a onClick="return mV('Jer',7,11);">11:14</a>)

|

<p id="a41"><b<a onClick="return mV('Jer',3,'10-15');">v. 10-15</a></b> Judah's responsibility to God is greater than Israel's, because she saw the consequences of Israel's sin. God calls His children to repentance. He promises to give them shepherds to feed them. God is always so willing to give the best to His children.
