JEREMIAH 32

JEREMIAH IMPRISONED FOR HIS PROPHECY 

During the reign of Judah’s King Zedekiah, Jeremiah was imprisoned for his prophecy against Judah. While in prison, God tells Jeremiah that his cousin will come to visit, and he is to buy property from him. Shortly after, this occurs, and Jeremiah purchases the land.

This land, now owned by Jeremiah, was surrounded by Babylon and about to be destroyed. This purchase was symbolic of Jeremiah’s faith in God and His promise to restore the Israelites to their land. Jeremiah believes that nothing is too difficult for God to accomplish.

Disaster was still approaching Jerusalem because of the sins of Judah, but God had plans to bring the Israelites back to the land He originally brought them into. God delights in bringing goodness and joy to His people!
