Jeremiah Chapter 11 Jeremiah Chapter 11 Verses 1-9: This is an extended dialogue between Jeremiah and the Lord about the people of God and their failure to once again keep the covenant their ancestors had accepted during the Exodus from “Egypt”. That agreement had bound both God and Israel with certain promises and consequences. What was about to befall the nation was because Israel did not uphold its part of the covenant. Jeremiah 11:1 "The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying," Jeremiah’s messages (in chapters 11-13), will reveal Judah’s false loyalties. They have been unfaithful to the covenant of the Lord (11:1 – 17), and, accordingly, must suffer the course of their infidelity (11:18 - 12:17). Judah’s corruption (13:1-11), had led them to an inordinate pride that will suffer humiliation (13:12-27). Jeremiah 11:2 "Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;" “This covenant”: The reference is to God’s covenant, summarized (in verses 3-5), which promised curses for disobeying and blessings for obeying (compare Deut. 27:26 – 28:68). To read a more detailed account of the covenant spoken of, read all of (2 Kings Chapter 23). This will also go into detail about the sins of the people. (Verse 2), is spoken to Jeremiah. Jeremiah is to first hear from God and then speak to the men of Judah. This was not to be spoken to just those who held high positions but to all inhabitants. Jeremiah 11:3 "And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed [be] the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant," This shows that the command of publishing the law or covenant was, however, principally given to Jeremiah. "Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel": That made them, and brought them out of Egypt, and made a covenant with them. And had taken care of them, and had bestowed many favors upon them. "Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant": Which the prophet, it may be, had in his hands. Even the book of the law, and held it forth unto them, while he was speaking. The language of which is: cursed is everyone that does not constantly and perfectly perform what is contained in it (Deut. 27:26). God had promised the land of milk and honey to those who kept covenant with Him. He also promised that those who broke the covenant would be cursed. One of the most important things about the covenant, was to keep the Passover. This was not optional, it was a requirement. 1 Jeremiah 11:4 "Which I commanded your fathers in the day [that] I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:" “The iron furnace”: A metaphor for the hardship of Egyptian bondage hundreds of years earlier (compare Exodus 1:8-14). The Passover was something they were to keep, as long as they were alive. The Passover celebrated the night when death passed over the Hebrew houses that had the blood of the lamb over the door. It was the very thing that caused Pharaoh to release them. They had been slaves in Egypt. Egypt kept them under hard (iron), bondage. This was the birth of the Israelite nation. God promised to be their God if they kept His commandments. Jeremiah 11:5 "That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD." Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. "To give them a land flowing with milk and honey": That is, abounding with plenty of all kind of provisions (see Exodus 3:8). "As it is this day": The land of Canaan continued to those times a very fruitful country. It was as it was promised it should be, and which was a clear thing. Their eyes saw it, and the day bore witness to it. "Then answered I, and said": That is, the Prophet Jeremiah, to whom the above order was given. "So be it, O Lord": Or, "Amen, Lord": Either agreeing to publish what the Lord commanded him; or as wishing that the land of Canaan might continue the same fruitful land it was. And the people of the Jews in it keeping the words of this covenant. Or else as assenting that the curse might fall upon the men that did not observe them, alluding to (Deut. 27:15). God still wanted them to have the land of milk and honey, but they must keep their part of the bargain. So be it and Amen, express the same thing. Jeremiah agrees with everything God has said. Jeremiah 11:6 "Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them." Again; for this is a repetition of the above order. "Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem": With a loud voice, and openly, that all may hear. 2 "Saying, hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them": Which their forefathers promised when the covenant was made with them (Exodus 24:7), but did not perform. Hearing without doing is of little avail. Not the hearers, but the doers of the law are justified; wherefore men should not be content with hearing only (Rom. 2:13). It appears from this that Jeremiah was to read the covenant again to the people of Judah and in Jerusalem. It is a last warning for them to keep covenant with God. Jeremiah 11:7 "For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day [that] I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, [even] unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice." Or "witnessing, witnessed"; testified his great affection for them. Persistently solicited their observation of his precepts for their good. And strictly cautioned them against neglect and disobedience. "The day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt": (See Jer. 11:4). "Even unto this day, rising early, and protesting, saying, obey my voice": That is, from the time of the giving of the law, in all successive ages, to the present time. He had sent his prophets to them, time after time, morning by morning, early and late, to press, exhort, and stir them up to an obedience to his will. And to warn them of the evils that would come by disobedience to it. The message from God had never changed. He wanted them to obey His commands. Their fathers who were freed from Egypt, wandered in the wilderness 40 years because of their disobedience. It seems these people never learn. God would protect them and provide for all their needs if they would obey Him. Jeremiah 11:8 "Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded [them] to do; but they did [them] not." Though they had such strong solicitations and fair warnings, and these repeated again and again. All which was an aggravation of their disobedience and stubbornness. "But walked everyone in the imagination of their evil heart": Which is desperately wicked, and is evil, and that continually. Even every imagination of it. Wherefore walking herein must be very wide and different from walking in the law of the Lord, and obeying that (see Jer. 3:17). "Therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant": That is, all the curses and threatening condemning in it against the disobedient. And so the Targum, "and I brought upon them vengeance (or punishment), because they received not the words of this covenant:'' "Which I commanded them to do, but they did them not": Because they did not do the commands of the law, therefore the curses of it lighted on them. For the words of the preceding clause may be rendered, "and I brought upon them". And it is suggested that the like punishment would be 3 inflicted on the present generation They imitating and pursuing the iniquities of their fathers; as follows in the next verse. Since they did not obey they could expect the curses instead of the blessings. Again, these are spelled out in detail in (Deut. 28:45-46), read all of it. I will give just the summation of it in the next verses. Deuteronomy 28:45-46 "Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:" "And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever." Verses 9-10: The people so closely repeated their forefathers’ errors that God called their behavior a “conspiracy”. Every generation has the opportunity to live under the covenant or break it. Meanwhile, God remains true to His character and His word (2 Tim. 2:13). Jeremiah 11:9 "And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem." “A conspiracy”: This refers to a deliberate resisting of God’s appeals for repentance and an insistence upon trusting their own “peace” message and idols.

  • SCRIPTURE READING PLAN for 5779 (2018-2019) This Plan Takes the Torah and Haftarah Cycle As the Foundation for Reading Entire Bible
    SCRIPTURE READING PLAN FOR 5779 (2018-2019) This plan takes the Torah and Haftarah cycle as the foundation for reading entire Bible. Torah and Haftarah readings follow the one-year Jewish and Messianic divisions, with Torah readings divided into daily portions and Haftarah readings occurring on Shabbat. (Note that chapter and verse designations are according to the Christian rather than Jewish numbering.) Torah and Haftarah readings for the Moedim (Feasts of the Lord) appear in italics. Readings for the rest of the Tanakh (Old Testament) and Apostolic Writings (New Testament) proceed through a daily plan that covers all of those Scriptures over the course of the year. The first weekly readings for 5779 correspond to the final weekly readings of the previous cycle, which is why this plan begins with the last chapters of both the Tanakh and Apostolic Writings. This year is also a leap year on the Hebrew (Jewish) calendar, which means there is a thirteenth month, called Adar II, added in the winter, just before the month of Nisan.1 1.

Yates IMOTHY POLK HAS NOTED, “Nothing distinguishes the book of Jeremiah from earlier works of prophecy quite so much as T the attention it devotes to the person of the prophet and the prominence it accords the prophetic ‘I’, and few things receive more scholarly comment.”1 More than simply providing a biographical or psychological portrait of the prophet, the book presents Jeremiah as a theological symbol who embodies in his person the word of Yahweh and the office of prophet.2 In fact the figure of Jeremiah is so central that a theology of the book of Jeremiah “cannot be for- mulated without taking into account the person of the prophet, as the book presents him.”3 The purpose of this article is to explore how intertextual con- nections to other portions of the Bible inform a deeper understand- ing of the portrayal of Jeremiah the prophet and his theological significance in the book of Jeremiah.

  • Through the Bible Study Jeremiah 11-12
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY JEREMIAH 11-12 In a Reader's Digest article, aimed at young career-oriented people, it was suggested that a person finds the highest chances of success in life… "by engaging in work you most enjoy doing, and which gives fullest expression to your abilities and personality…” If Jeremiah had heeded that nugget of advice he would’ve never been a prophet - God's mouthpiece! Jeremiah's work was anything but enjoyable! He preached a message of repentance to an obstinate bunch! God gave him the task of presiding over the judgment of His backslidden people, Judah. Jeremiah tried and cried to reach these people. He sacrificed his freedoms, his position, his land, his possessions, his comforts. He even waived his right to marry and have a family. Yet his sacrifices won him nothing but hostility and hardship. “Prophet” was not exactly that job where he enjoyed expressing himself. "1 If Jeremiah had any sense of fulfillment it came not from his work, but from God’s Word. In 15:16 He’ll say, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your Word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.” Jeremiah was a lone voice. He confronted and stood alone against both political and priestly establishments! In his 40 years of ministry he never won a single convert. From a career- oriented perspective Jeremiah was an utter, miserable failure! Yet God appraises success differently than we do! Eternal success is measured not in terms of fulfillment, but faithfulness. Keep that in mind as we study Jeremiah 11-12! Chapter 11:1, “The word that

  • Sunday Sermon Mission Impossible Jeremiah 12:1-17 March 8, 2020 “That’S Not Fair”
    Sunday Sermon Mission Impossible Jeremiah 12:1-17 March 8, 2020 “That’s Not Fair” Introduction: Throughout the Bible we find situations where our faith hits a roadblock and evil seems to prevail. This is especially true when it appears as if God is allowing evil people to get away with their sin. Habakkuk, an early contemporary of Jeremiah, was terribly troubled because Judah seemed to be getting away with sin; how much more upset he becomes where he thinks Babylon, a pagan nation, is getting away with sin as well! Habakkuk becomes confused by the apparent conflict between what he knew to be true about God and what he sees around him in the world. It just doesn’t seem to add up, and he lets God know about it. In the process, he learns a view of God that is true but not always popular; he begins to look at his circumstances from the framework of God’s character rather than at God’s character from the context of his circumstances. As we continue this morning in the book of Jeremiah, we find that he struggled with the same issues as his prophet friend. And I think if we’re all honest, we struggle at times with it as well. Jeremiah 12-14 finds that Judah was facing impending judgement, the land was suffering under a tremendous drought (14:1-6) and Jeremiah was being plotted against from his hometown; even his own brethren (6)! It was certainly a dark time and he did what many of us do…we ask why? I.
