an unlikely alliance
Jeremiah 25
Verses 1-14 go over the importance of following God and not worshiping other gods. Judah got sent into captivity for it.
Jeremiah 26
Jeremiah was almost sentenced to death. De ja vu. Although some of the elders of the city steped in and defended Jeremiah. They mentioned that the other Kings that have heard the warning of Jerusalem’s destruction had taken head to the warning and started following God again. Thus they were saved, and so was Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 27
Nebuchadnezzar will reign whether you al like it or no. That was the main message of Jeremiah in this chapter. God was testing (by human standards) if Isreal would really listen to His commands. This may sound odd, but Nebie (k. Nezzar, sorry, Veggie Tales thing) was God’s servant. It even says so!
Verse 27:6:
“Now I will hand all your contries over to my
servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; I
will make even the wild animals subject to him.”
The punishment for not following Nebie was the entire country being wiped out.
