JEREMIAH 37

JEREMIAH REMAINS FAITHFUL TO GOD’S MESSAGE OF WARNING

Nebuchadnezzar appoints Zedekiah as king over Judah. During this time, Babylon begins to siege Jerusalem but withdraws momentarily to turn their attention towards Egypt.

Jeremiah knows the Babylonians are only temporarily distracted and that they will still invade Judah under Zedekiah’s leadership. Jeremiah is beaten and arrested for his message of prophecy and warning against Judah.

While Jeremiah is imprisoned, Zedekiah comes to ask what he has heard from God. Jeremiah remains steadfast in his message regarding Judah, knowing they will soon be overthrown by Babylon.
