Discuss Jeremiah 1 Page 2

Matthew Henry Commentary

Jeremiah was a priest, a native of Anathoth, in the tribe of Benjamin. He was called to the prophetic office when very young, about seventy years after the death of Isaiah, and exercised it for about forty years with great faithfulness, till the sins of the Jewish nation came to their full measure and destruction followed. The prophecies of Jeremiah do not stand as they were delivered. Blayney has endeavoured to arrange them in more regular order, namely, ch. 1-20; 22; 23; 25; 26; 35; 36; 45; 24; 29; 30; 31; 27; 28; 21; 34; 37; 32; 33; 38; 39; (ver. 15-18, 1-14.) 40-44; 46-52. The general subject of his prophecies is the idolatry and other sins of the Jews; the judgments by which they were threatened, with references to their future restoration and deliverance, and promises of the Messiah. They are remarkable for plain and faithful reproofs, affectionate expostulations, and awful warnings.Jeremiah's call to the prophetic office. (1-10) A vision of an almond-tree and of a seething-pot, Divine protection is promised. (11-19)1-10 Jeremiah's early call to the work and office of a prophet is stated. He was to be a prophet, not to the Jews only, but to the neighbouring nations. He is still a prophet to the whole world, and it would be well if they would attend to these warnings. The Lord who formed us, knows for what particular services and purposes he intended us. But unless he sanctify us by his new-creating Spirit, we shall neither be fit for his holy service on earth, nor his holy happiness in heaven. It becomes us to have low thoughts of ourselves. Those who are young, should consider that they are so, and not venture beyond their powers. But though a sense of our own weakness and insufficiency should make us go humbly about our work, it should not make us draw back when God calls us. Those who have messages to deliver from God, must not fear the face of man. The Lord, by a sign, gave Jeremiah such a gift as was necessary.

Separated: Exodus 33:16, Leviticus 20:24, Numbers 6:2, Numbers 16:9, Deuteronomy 10:8, 1Chronicles 23:13, 1Chronicles 25:1, Galatians 1:15,

Hopefully these are helpful

Jeremiah was talking about himself as beining a child not a future child a now child behavior the Almighty God was talking to jeremiah after all the almighty put his hand over jeremiah mouth so that Gods word could be a blessing to his people

Jeremiah 12,

I understand Jeremiah easier when I've read the whole book.

Jeremiah 1:1-3, Jeremiah had been called by GOD while young, Jeremiah 1:6, to speak very difficult words of Judgement, Jeremiah 1:8-10, in opposition to other "prophetic" voices telling them lies. Jeremiah 5:31,

In Jeremiah 11:19-21 they plotted to kill him.

This seems like to us & most likely to Jeremiah much time in human perspective had passed & GOD had said in Jeremiah 1:12, He would hasten HIS Word to perform it. GOD had promised judgement, yet by Chapter 12, Jeremiah seems frustrated because of the evil. Jeremiah 5:3-4, asks them to repent: Jeremiah 7:5-11,, Jeremiah 3:22 even looks like they repented in Jeremiah 3:22-25,

Jeremiah 5:1,2,

Jeremiah 12:4, the land had been troubled since Jeremiah 2,

Several Prophets suffered much from the people they were sent to. Matthew 23,

Hopefully this is helpful.

Jeremiah covers the capture of each area & continues to warn them to repent. Jeremiah 1:1-3, Jeremiah 4:1-2, Jeremiah 5:1, Jeremiah 7:1-15, Jeremiah 10:20-21, Jeremiah 11, Jeremiah 12, Jeremiah 34:8-22,

Jeremiah 20:1-2, Jeremiah 21:1-2, king Zedekiah, Jeremiah 22, Jeremiah 24:1, Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim King of Judah, Jeremiah 25:1-3, 4th yr. of Johoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah . Jeremiah 32:1-2, Jeremiah 34:1-7,

Prophetic promise: Jeremiah 23:3-7, Jeremiah 30:3-4, Jeremiah 31, Jeremiah 33:7-17,

Jeremiah 29, note Jeremiah 29:1-4,

Daniel was taken into captivity as young boy, Daniel 1:1, Daniel 9:1-2, Jeremiah 29:10, but looks to have returned in Ezra 8:2

Note: Jeremiah 37:1-3, king Zedekiah instead, Coniah only mentioned here & Jeremiah 22:24,28, not in Isaiah or other Books in Bible of this account, including the Books of Kings, nor the Books of Chronicles.

Hebrews 5, Hebrews 6, Hebrews 7,

Hopefully these are helpful in your study

Thanks Giannis.

In the past I've used that analogy of the puzzle pieces. The Gospel paints a picture starting from Genesis.

The problem often comes when one have a picture in mind and try to fit pieces of the puzzles together that don't belong so they have to reshape the surrounding pieces to there liking, usually by spritualizing all the pieces/scripture, or they take one piece of a puzzle/scripture that represents their picture and try to fit it in a 1000 piece puzzle that it doesn't belong to, so they reshape the 1000 pieces by spritualizing.

Here's an example.

Who's the writer referring to here?

"Therefore my people" are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

Isaiah 5:13.

I've heard it taught that this was all of creation. ( A piece of puzzle that don't even fit the chapter or anywhere else in the 66 books. )

But if they would let the scripture say what it is saying you would find the answer throughout the chapter, especially verse 7.

"For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry"

Isaiah 5:7.

Here's just a few of many other puzzle pieces.

Exodus 3:10.

Exodus 5:1.

Exodus 8:23.

Leviticus 26:12.

1 Samuel 2:28-29.

1 Kings 6:12-13.

Isaiah 1:3.

Isaiah 10:24.

Isaiah 14:25.

Jeremiah 1:16.

Jeremiah 2:11.

Ezekiel 11:20.

Ect...

There's hundreds that reference Isaiah 5:13. to Israel!!

And Hosea 2:23 suggests God's not done with them. Also Romans 11:1.

God is in the generation of the righteous. Psalms 14:5.

We become his people by seeking him, not everyone will do this.

Zachariah gives a distinction between between the heathen nations and God's people. Zachariah 8:7.

Another distinction.

Mathew 7:21-23. You can't be his people and he not know you.

Heresies are built this way.

God bless.

I have a comment on Jeremiah 1:5

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Abortionists do not know that they murder God's innocent children whom He knows and loves when they murder children in the womb.

Marke plz don't be offened but Jeremiah 1 : 5 is just prophetic of the Manchild ,that Child of PROMISE, THE H.G. that is gonna rule all Nations...Jeremiah neva did destroy any Nations or Kingdoms...Its just prophetic of what Jesus said when he the Spirit of Truth is come ( the H.G. ) The Kingdom he will reprove the world of sin and judgement and righteousness etc...Jeremiah was truly a great prophet but there is a greater then Jeremiah coming which is the H.G. that Child of Promise...Which is the very kingdom of God unless you receive the kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in...The Child that Jeremiah is speaking of is the H.G. that Child of Promise that is gonna Rule all Nations...AS Rev 12 : 5 is saying she brought forth a Child that is gonna rule all nations...and satan wants to kill this Child simply b/c he is the multiplication of Christ in humanity That Child of PROMISE via the seed of Christ Jesus as the field is the world where that Godly seed will be sown...Satan knows that this is the Child of PROMISE that is gonna be as the Stars of Heaven....destroying Satans Kingdom...Thats y Satan wants to destroy this Child and his Mother the Church....Who is my MOTHER Jesus asked, them that hear my words ( his seeds ) and keeps them. To whom the word came ( his seed ) it made them Gods....and his WORDS cannot return unto him void...They will have to form a baby Christ in US....and Christ is God.

...My lil Children of whom i travail in birth AGAIN, AGAIN till Christ is formed in you...This is the 2 nd travailing...The Kingdom of Solomon did not come till the 2 nd time Bathsheba Travailed in birth...The 1st Child died in its infancy which answers to Christianity the 1st Church the early Church..He had to give them up..According to Micah 5...But they return again with the woman in Child birth.... Rev 12 : 10 Now is come salvation and the Kingdom of our God and his Christ Child the H.G. The Spirit of truth. That is gonna rule all the world.

There may be a million lessons to be learned from Jeremiah but I like the verse that shows God has even unborn babies on His mind and heart, proving abortionists offend God when they kill an unborn child.

Jeremiah 1:5

King James Version

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Hello Susie. The Book of Jeremiah is a very large book that cannot be expounded on such a Site as this. You may need to get yourself a good Study Bible that will give you information on the prophet, his times, his prophecies, etc. Or, there maybe websites that can offer help, chapter by chapter. If you had a particular question that comes up in your reading or study, then someone here might be able to help, but to adequately cover the Book, even a chapter, may not satisfy your study needs.

Study jeremiah need help

We must pray that the Most High allow these women and mens hearts to be convicted so that they can view these Children as living Souls. And bind the Spirit of murder away from these Abortion clinics. And bring strong conviction upon the Doctors performing the abortions.

Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV) Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

So what you are saying is that you are a hebrew?

you are 100 percent right

Why do we celebrate Jesus Birthday on the 25th of December when He doesn't tell us when He was born? We are not suppose to celebrate His Birthday or He would have told us the date He was bprn. Why are we putting a Christmas tree up in our house and decorating it with garland and glass Balls when God plainly tells us

what he is going to do with that tree when he comes and it won't be good. Why are we celebrating Christs birthday on a Pagen Holiday. Why did we follow the Catholic church when they chose Sunday to be the Sabbath day when the Sabbath is clearly on Saturday.

John 17, Jeremiah 1:4-5, Psalms 139,

Mark 4, Matthew 22, Matthew 25:31-46, Mark 14:21, John 17,

Hopefully these help you in your understanding

i wholeheartedly agree.

Nope ,.. 3 times a year,.. passova, Pentecost and feast of tabernacles,

People discuss this frequently. I don't.

God just wants us to set aside a day to attend church services as a family, and relax and do family things the remainder of the day.

Not splitting off in all directions doing our own things. It keeps the family unit strong. Do things as a family unit or just TALK to each other.

I'm a street preacher, and the things that teens and young people complain about the most (bitterly) is the lack of attention in the home. They're wandering the streets looking for it. Some have found Jesus if I was there. Everyone wants love and conversation. They don't care about themselves because "no one wants to talk."

They have things going on in their minds that says, "I am not valuable. What I think doesn't matter to anyone. "My parents don't know where I am and they Don't Care."

Sabbath is when we go to God and worship and listen to the ONLY ONE who cares what we need.

His love HEALS a lonely soul. That's the reason we don't FORSAKE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER. Someone needs a touch or encouragement from God, through us.

If people would stop bludgeoning each other with THE LAW__other people may get healed and be comforted with a kind word or a special scripture. Go home with a smile in their heart.

Internet, social networks, has produced 2 decades of lonely existence and a huge need to touch people and be touched; talked to. We singles used to go to a restaurant and get a HUGE platter of nachos (after church; share stories, jokes, and it was FUN. Did it every week.

The Sabbath was made for the people. Ask the Holy Spirit to explain it to your spirit.

You get back interest from things you invest YOURSELF in, fully. What this decade is having a problem with, is, Emotional Closeness.

I know I'm right because me and the Holy Spirit are tight. I hope this helped.

Hi Debbie Hendryx . Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. That means if you put your faith in him you have a constant Sabbath. The phrase "the Lord of the Sabbath" is found in Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, and Luke 6:5. In all three instances Jesus is referring to Himself as the Lord of the Sabbath or, as Mark records it, "The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath" ( Mark 2:28).

So the Sabbath is still in effect, but it is only made perfect when we accept Jesus.

Is the Sabbath done away with if not what scripture verifies it

Hi Charles The scripture is always correct, we cannot sin or corrupt what God has given you Spiritually

in Christ, that being said we do not walk or live by the spirit 24/7 that's the context. When we walk in that

fellowship with God we don't commit sin, but when we don't that's is sin. That's what is being talked about.

Inner man Perfect Christ ,Outer man sense corrupt battle that rages in us between the natural man and

spiritual man. No body except Jesus Christ ever walked spiritual perfect 24/7, just thinking about that always

blows my mind!

1 John 3:9

[9]Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 5:18

[18]We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Sad, this is what my Holy Scriptures say from the Holy Ghost and I believe!!!!!!!!!!

I do not believe man's lying tongue.

Charles, Jesus is the only person who never sinned in thought, word, or deed, or failure to do what He should have done.

Everyone else sins throughout our life on this earth. We have a corrupted nature that makes us give in to temptations. Jesus' nature was never corrupted, therefore He was able to resist temptation always. He lived a perfect life.

Hi Charles Don't dwell on this but no, if that could be done by our own works than logically there would not

be the need for our saviour, our very nature that we are born with is antagonistic against God. Even after

being born again we still fight a corrupt natural body which is worked by the five senses! Romans 7:15-25

Can a person live a sinless and or sin free life?

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed thee in the belly I KNEW YOU: and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Jeremiah 20:17

Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave,

Hosea 12:3

For there are some eunuchs, which I were so born from their mother's womb (birth defects) and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men (forced celibacy) and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs (celibate)for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Psalms 139:16

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in THY BOOK all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.

Genesis 27:2

And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:

Psalms 48:14

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

Comment: God lives outside and inside of the confines of time. He sees each human from beginning to end.

He says, "ALL souls belong to Me." If a baby dies, it's soul immediately returns to God. And lives eternally. No one teaches the Bible in Public Schools. Neither is forgiveness of sins. I'm ashamed of what they HAVE to teach. It's a soul-less education. Kids can choose anything EXCEPT to follow the teachings of the Bible. Their consciences are being burned alive. They're one source of hope was written out of their books. Did anyone at home read the Bible to them?

JESUS IS COMING BACK SOONER THAN YOU THINK. He's not going to allow these children to perish in darkness of social Night. All they have to say is: JESUS TAKE ME WITH YOU, INTO YOUR KINGDOM. Kids: tell your little brothers and sisters too.

Jean, there are only hints to ages of the Apostles and Disciples in the New Testament that I've found in my studies. However the Old Testament mentions ages often. Perhaps it is so we will follow Christ regardless of our ages & not discredit anyone because of age.

Could it be because GOD ALMIGHTY had already spoken about the insignificance or irrelevance of age? Except in determining prophecy?
