In chapter 26, false prophets are again being confronted with the truth that God is giving Jeremiah. However, these religious leaders are so enraged at Jeremiah, that they want to kill him. How are false prophets and religious leaders hostile to the truth of God today? We als(in the case of Urijah) fears man and walks out of the will of God, while Jeremiah continues to deliver the truth regardless of the threats on his life. Then, in chapter 27, God sets Judah and Jerusalem up with wisdom as to how to handle the coming invasion from Babylon. King Nebuchadnezzar is being used as a servant whom all nations will serve, and all who resist him will be punished. This lesson is sovereignty teaches us how God places power in the hands of some, takes power away from others to serve the purposes that He has for them to get their hearts and attention focused on Him.
