Day 289 - Jeremiah 26

By: Norman W. Berry

Jeremiah 26 • 1 min. read • grade level: 6

King Josiah has died and his son Jehoiakim is the new king.

V.2 The Lord tells Jeremiah to stand in the entrance to the Lord’s house, and is told that he must not leave out one word of the Lord’s warnings.

V.8-9 When he finishes his message, the priests, the prophets, and all the people are so mad that they plan to kill Jeremiah! Poor Jeremiah! He is alone.

V.10 But the Lord had His eye on His faithful servant, and sends the princes to protect (Jer. 5:12-15¹²They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine: ¹³And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them. ¹⁴Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them. ¹⁵Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. (Jeremiah 5:12‑15)). Fearless Jeremiah speaks faithful words for the Lord.

V.16 The Lord cared for this faithful man. He is quite ready to die as he told them in verse 14.

V.24 Here God tells us the name of those who stood with Jeremiah and defended him when others would have put him to death.
