Jeremiah 43
The Book of Jeremiah
Jeremiah 43:1 And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of
speaking unto all the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the
Lord their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
2 Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all
the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God
hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us
into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us
away captives into Babylon.
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the
people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Judah.
5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all
the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been
driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
6 Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person
that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of
Neriah.
7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the
Lord: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
8 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln,
which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men
of Judah;
10 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I
will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set
his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal
pavilion over them.
11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are
for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are
for the sword to the sword.
12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall
burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the
land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from
thence in peace.
13 He shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt;
and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
