Episode notes
Jeremiah 27 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 27 the chapter starts with a prophecy to five nations surrounding Judah, and ends with the same prophecy to Judah itself. In each of these Jeremiah makes a set of yokes to wear and sends it to the nations as a sign that they are to be enslaved by Babylon. These six nations, the five plus Judah, had a conspiracy to work together to overthrown Babylon, but Jeremiah predicts it will fail. As usual, they do not listen to him. This video also explains a scribal error in verse one which places the chapter in the reign of the wrong king, but later verses clear up the mistake. New translations of the Bible fix this automatically.
