Listen from:
Jeremiah ordered a man, a writer, Baruch, to write his prophecy of what God was going to do later in punishment of Jerusalem. He was to write it on a roll of paper. When this was read to the king Jehoiakim, he cut it up and threw it into the fireplace. Then he tried to arrest Jeremiah and Baruch. But God saw all this going on, and hides them. Another roll is obtained and all the prophecy was written again. It’s the same today. People put their Bible in a drawer and forget about it. But God sees this too. So Baruch rewrites the whole thing!
