Chapter 45: The Bulk and the Deep Will of God
1. the position of the episode in chapter 45ã
As already mentioned yesterday, Jeremiah's prophecy ended in the previous 44 chapters. Therefore, this chapter 45 is a supplement, essentially a follow-up to 36:1-8. The content is the word of God to Baruch, Jeremiah's secretary. At first, you may think that the Bible is difficult to read because you have no idea where these episodes are located. However, if you read the Bible repeatedly and carefully, you will be able to understand the connections between these episodes, so please keep reading. Read the Bible slowly, without rushing, and with a good understanding and memory.
Anyway, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, Baruch dictated the words of Jeremiah and read them to the people. This came to the king's attention, and to avoid his wrath, Jeremiah and Baruch had to hide themselves. This chapter is the story of Baruch's lament and God's response.
2. Baruch's Lament and God's Response
Baruch has shared in the suffering and trials as Jeremiah's secretary. Baruch was the son of Neriah and brother of Seraiah, the chief of King Zedekiah's camp (51:59). In other words, he had connections, and he was a man who could have attained a high social position through his brother. Yet, because of his work as Jeremiah's secretary, his life is ruined and even his life is put in danger. Of course, he followed Jeremiah because he shared Jeremiah's heart, but he was still a human being, and when his own life was in danger, he had no choice but to lament his own foolishness.
To Baruch, God speaks, v. 5: "Do you seek great things for yourselves? Do not seek." And. Perhaps Baruch thought that by preaching Jeremiah's words, he would bring about great repentance among the people, change the destiny of the nation, and thereby gain high status and honor for himself. If this is the case, then his following Jeremiah was ultimately for his own sake. In any case, he was devastated and grieved at his own foolishness in making the wrong decision. God wants Barak to understand God's sovereignty (v. 4). God is the one who decides how things will turn out (v. 4). It is not that God could not give Balkh a high position as a reward if He wanted to. But the world does not revolve around Bulk; it revolves around God's plan. And even though God's plan is primary, God is not the One who ignores individual existence. Therefore, God also promises His foremost care to those who work for Him in the course of the times, in the execution of His plan. To Baruch He said, "Wherever you go, I will give you your life as a victory," verse 5, saying that all flesh will be destroyed by God's judgment, but you will be safe.
There is no greater blessing than to have one's life preserved, and to have one's life spanned in the midst of the devastation of war. In the first place, the southern kingdom of Judah will be destroyed and you will die. Dreaming of a high position in that country will do nothing. Furthermore, God has added an extra blessing to his life. Because he feared God and was faithful to Him, he became a man long remembered in another way. He accompanied Jeremiah to Egypt, where he compiled and completed his prophecies and played an important role in bringing God's Word to us today.
It is easy for people to think of their own happiness in the immediate future. Human thinking of success and victory is shortsighted. Rather, we should keep our eyes on God's eternal plan and walk in a way that values the happiness that God gives us without seeking great things. I pray that today will be another good day.
<Quiz Corner</div>
First, yesterday's quiz. The idol Ashtaroth, which was worshipped as Kadesh in Egypt, was originally an idol of which country? (1) Sidon, (2) Philistines, and (3) Moab.
The answer was (1) Sidon. Ashtaroth was a goddess worshipped by the people of Turo and Sidon, and was introduced to Israel early on, and along with Baal, was the object of agricultural ritual religion, where her productive power was believed (Judges 2:13; 10:6). Now for today's Bible quiz. What position was understood as the east for the ancient Israelites? (1) forward, (2) backward. See you tomorrow for the answer. Well, I wish you a good day today.
