Prayer of Malice | |
Book of Jeremiah / int_11efa116 | comment |
Prayer of Malice: A few times in the titular book, Jeremiah prays these kind of prayers in regard to the people of Judah who were making all sorts of plots against him for his prophesying. Lamentations 1:22 and 3:61-66 has Jeremiah (speaking for his people Jerusalem) praying this against his enemies. | |

The Disease That Shall Not Be Named | |
Book of Jeremiah / int_16838478 | comment |
The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: Lamentations hints at a sexually-transmitted disease, resulting from carousing with prostitutes and other types of illicit sex, saying that the people of Israel are "polluted with blood" and that the nations that they are carried into say they cannot stay there. (That could have been avoided, or at least not been an epidemic, if they played by the rules.) It's not mentioned what STI it is, but the symptoms do read an awful lot like syphilis. (Which new evidence suggests did exist in Afro-Eurasia before Columbus returned from the Americas.) | |

The Siege | |
Book of Jeremiah / int_1c4adce1 | comment |
The Siege: As also mentioned in the books of Kings, Jerusalem was held in siege by the Babylonians during the reign of King Zedekiah until there was a famine, resulting in its citizens resorting to cannibalism in order to stay alive, and then eventually the city was sacked, its king was captured, and its citizens were taken into exile. Jeremiah was released by the Babylonians from his imprisonment at the time the city was sacked so he could go wherever he wanted. | |

Book of Jeremiah / int_366f3185 | comment |
Book Burning: In Chapter 36, Jeremiah had Baruch write all God's words down in a scroll and read to the people of Jerusalem in the hopes that they would repent. When the scroll was being read before King Jehoiakim, the king first cut out the first two or three columns from the scroll with a penknife, then he would burn the entire scroll in the fireplace, showing how much he cared for listening to God's words. | |

Jeremiah was kept prisoner in the court of the king during this time, given only bread to stay alive until the food ran out. | |

False Reassurance: The people of Judah in Jeremiah's day were being given false assurances of peace by the priests and prophets, and one of them even dared to prophesy that the holy items from the Temple which King Nebuchadnezzar took will be brought back in a year or two along with the king he took into exile. In Lamentations, the people complain when they realize that God's words about those "prophets" were true, that they were nothing but wind, that He never sent them. | |

Book of Jeremiah / int_5c219298 | comment |
Phony Psychic: Throughout the book, God tells Jeremiah that those who called themselves "prophets" who were prophesying of peace, and that no calamity will fall upon the people as they continue to do evil, are prophesying lies in His name, that He did not send those people, that they are inventing things out of their own minds. In Chapter 28, when Hananiah makes a false prophecy that the exiled king of Judah shall be returned along with the vessels of the house of God, Jeremiah says, as though testing the "prophet", "So if a prophet prophesies good fortune, then only when the word of the prophet comes true can it be known that the LORD really sent him."

Book of Jeremiah / int_80cdee8b | comment |
God of Good: A stock verse that's used as inspiration for people is Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." As Jeremiah 31 puts it, God may be angry with His people's sins, but He doesn't take any pleasure in punishing them since He still loves them. Lamentations 3:22-23 says "It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed; His compassions do not fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." | |

Marriage to a God | |
Book of Jeremiah / int_93a17805 | comment |
Marriage to a God: As early as chapter 2, God equates His relationship to His people Israel to a marriage and asks them what happened that made them decide they were better off being without Him, that they would rather worship false gods than the true God. In chapter 3, God says that He has given Israel a certificate of divorce (which contextually is talking about the northern kingdom of Israel, NOT Israel as a whole, as some Bible students interpret it), yet He still calls out to them to return, since He says "I am married to you". | |

Book of Jeremiah / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: God tells Jeremiah in Chapter 31 that He will make a "new covenant" with the people of Judah and Israel: that He will write His laws upon their hearts; that nobody will teach another person to know the Lord, for all will know Him from the least to the greatest; and He will forgive their iniquities and no longer remember their sins. In traditional Christian interpretation, this was fulfilled with Jesus Christ dying on the cross for the people's sins, with His blood putting the "new covenant" into effect. | |

Loincloth | |
Book of Jeremiah / int_a37008ed | comment |
Loincloth: Jeremiah is told by God to wear a linen loincloth in Chapter 13, then bury it in the ground and some days later dig it back up again. Jeremiah does so and finds that the loincloth has been ruined. God tells Jeremiah that, just as the loincloth is ruined and good for nothing, so shall the people of Judah be who have gone after worshiping other gods. As a sort of interesting visual, God then says that, as a loincloth clings to a man's waist, so He has caused Israel and Judah to cling to Him. | |

Celibate Hero: God asked Jeremiah not to marry nor have children, since there was going to be so much disaster happening to Jerusalem that having a wife and children would not be recommended due to the amount of slaughter of people's families. | |

The Promise | |
Book of Jeremiah / int_a63fd70f | comment |
The Promise: To put Jeremiah 29:11 into context, God through Jeremiah tells the exiles in Babylon that they must build houses, marry, increase their population, plant farms, and prosper while they stay there for 70 years. When the 70 years are up, God promises them that they'll be brought back to Jerusalem. | |

Book of Jeremiah / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn and Heel–Face Turn: God tells Jeremiah in Chapter 18 that, concerning a nation, if He tells a nation that He will bring disaster upon them for their sins, and they turn and repent of their deeds, then He will relent of the disaster that He will bring upon them. Conversely, if a nation that He says He will plant and build turns against Him and commits sins, then He will relent of the good that He promised for them. | |

Ignored Expert: Jeremiah advises King Zedekiah to surrender himself to the king of Babylon and he will be treated well, and Jerusalem would not be destroyed. Zedekiah, as it turns out, ignores this advice and makes an attempt to escape capture, only to become a prisoner of King Nebuchadnezzar and cause Jerusalem's destruction. | |

They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the ground.'" (Jeremiah 8:1-2) | |

Curse | |
Book of Jeremiah / int_c2e295cd | comment |
Curse: King Jeconiah (called Coniah to disassociate him from being blessed of God) was written off by God as "childless" in Jeremiah 22:30, that "no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah." In the Christian interpretation, this curse would eventually carry itself into the time of Jesus' birth, when Joseph, a descendant of Jeconiah, would only become the foster father of Jesus while Mary, descended from another family line of David, would be from whom the Messiah would be born. Others interpret that the curse has been lifted around the time of Jeconiah's descendant Zerubbabel, whom God through the prophet Haggai made His "signet ring", who was one of the exiles who returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple. Hananiah, a false prophet from Jeremiah chapter 28, was cursed to die within the year that he prophesied that the Lord would return the vessels that were taken from the Temple by the Babylonians along with the king. | |

Human Sacrifice: God through Jeremiah speaks to Judah against their practice of sacrificing their children to the fire to Molech in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, with God saying in Chapter 7 that He will no longer call it the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter, that there will be so many dead bodies that there will not be enough room to bury them. | |

Just a Kid: Jeremiah, at the time he was called to be a prophet, though it can alternatively be interpreted as Jeremiah thinking himself too young to be used by God (similar to how Solomon, when he was made king as an adult, confessed to God that he was "a little child" who doesn't know how to direct God's children). God thought otherwise, however. | |

You Can't Go Home Again: Jeremiah fled to Egypt and probably died there. He also tells the Judeans that fled to Egypt to escape the Babylonians that a good deal of them will never return to the land of Israel, in part because of their Queen of Heaven idolatry which they continued doing in Egypt. | |
