Jeremiah had faithfully delivered his message from God in the foregoing
|
|
chapter, and the case was made so very plain by it that one would have
|
|
thought there needed no more words about it; but we find it quite
|
|
otherwise. Here is,
|
|
|
|
I. The people's contempt of this message; they denied it to be the word
|
|
of God
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:1-3">ver. 1-3</A>)
|
|
|
|
and then made no difficulty of going directly contrary to it. Into
|
|
Egypt they went, and took Jeremiah himself along with them,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:4-7">ver. 4-7</A>.
|
|
|
|
II. God's pursuit of them with another message, foretelling the king of
|
|
Babylon's pursuit of them into Egypt,
|
|
|
|

<FONT SIZE=+1>1 And it came to pass, <I>that</I> when Jeremiah had made an end of
|
|
speaking unto all the people all the words of the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT> their God,
|
|
for which the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT> their God had sent him to them, <I>even</I> 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 L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT> 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 L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>, 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 <I>Even</I> men, and women, and children, and the king's
|
|
daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan 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 L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>: thus came they <I>even</I> to Tahpanhes.

What God said to the builders of Babel may be truly said of this people
|
|
that Jeremiah is now dealing with: <I>Now nothing will be restrained
|
|
from them which they have imagined to do,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ge+11:6">Gen. xi. 6</A>.
|
|
|
|
They have a fancy for Egypt, and to Egypt they will go, whatever God
|
|
himself says to the contrary. Jeremiah made them hear all he had to
|
|
say, though he saw them uneasy at it; it was what the Lord their God
|
|
had sent him to speak to them, and they shall have it all. And now let
|
|
us see what they have to say to it.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
I. They deny it to be a message from God: <I>Johanan, and all the proud
|
|
men, said to Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:2"><I>v.</I> 2</A>.
|
|
|
|
See here,
|
|
|
|
1. What was the cause of their disobedience--it was pride; only by
|
|
that comes contention both with God and man. They were <I>proud
|
|
men</I> that gave the lie to the prophet. They could not bear the
|
|
contradiction of their sentiments and the control of their designs, no,
|
|
not by the divine wisdom, by the divine will itself. Pharaoh said,
|
|
<I>Who is the Lord, that I should obey him?</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ex+5:2">Exod. v. 2</A>.
|
|
|
|
The proud unhumbled heart of man is one of the most daring enemies God
|
|
has on this side hell.
|
|
|
|
2. What was the colour for their disobedience. They would not
|
|
acknowledge it to be the word of God: <I>The Lord hath not sent
|
|
thee</I> on this errand to us. Either they were not convinced that what
|
|
was said came from God or (which I rather think) though they were
|
|
convinced of it they would not own it. The light shone strongly in
|
|
their face, but they either shut their eyes against it or would not
|
|
confess that they saw it. Note, The reason why men deny the scriptures
|
|
to be the word of God is because they are resolved not to conform to
|
|
scripture-rules, and so an obstinate infidelity is made the sorry
|
|
subterfuge of a wilful disobedience. If God had spoken to them by an
|
|
angel, or as he did from Mount Sinai, they would have said that it was
|
|
a delusion. Had they not consulted Jeremiah as a prophet? Had he not
|
|
waited to receive instructions from God what to say to them? Had not
|
|
what he said all the usual marks of prophecy upon it? Was not the
|
|
prophet himself embarked in the same bottom with them? What interests
|
|
could he have separate from theirs? Had he not always approved himself
|
|
an Israelite indeed? And had not God proved him a prophet indeed? Had
|
|
any of his words ever fallen to the ground? Why, truly, they had some
|
|
good thoughts of Jeremiah, but they suggest
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:3"><I>v.</I> 3</A>),
|
|
|
|
<I>Baruch sets thee on against us.</I> A likely thing, that Baruch
|
|
should be in a plot to <I>deliver them into the hands of the
|
|
Chaldeans;</I> and what would he get by that? If Jeremiah and he had
|
|
been so well affected to the Chaldeans as they would represent them,
|
|
they would have gone away at first with Nebuzaradan, when he courted
|
|
them, to Babylon, and not have staid to take their lot with this
|
|
despised ungrateful remnant. But the best services are no fences
|
|
against malice and slander. Or, if Baruch had been so ill disposed,
|
|
could they think Jeremiah would be so influenced by him as to make
|
|
God's name an authority to patronise so villainous a purpose? Note,
|
|
Those that are resolved to contradict the great ends of the ministry
|
|
are industrious to bring a bad name upon it. When men will persist in
|
|
sin they represent those that would turn them from it as designing men
|
|
for themselves, nay, as ill-designing men against their neighbours. It
|
|
is well for persons who are thus misrepresented that their witness is
|
|
in heaven and their record on high.</P>

II. They determine to go to Egypt notwithstanding. They resolve not to
|
|
<I>dwell in the land of Judah,</I> as God had ordered them
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:4"><I>v.</I> 4</A>),
|
|
|
|
but to go themselves with one consent and to take all that they had
|
|
under their power along with them to Egypt. Those that came <I>from
|
|
all the nations whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of
|
|
Judah,</I> out of a sincere affection to that land, they would not
|
|
leave to their liberty, but forced them to go with them into Egypt
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:5"><I>v.</I> 5</A>),
|
|
|
|
<I>men, women, and children</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:6"><I>v.</I> 6</A>),
|
|
|
|
a long journey into a strange country, an idolatrous country, a country
|
|
that had never been kind of faithful to Israel; yet thither they would
|
|
go, though they deserted their own land and threw themselves out of
|
|
God's protection. It is the folly of men that they know not when they
|
|
are well off, and often ruin themselves by endeavouring to better
|
|
themselves; and it is the pride of great men to force those they have
|
|
under their power to follow them, though ever so much against their
|
|
duty and interest. These proud men compelled even Jeremiah the prophet
|
|
and Baruch his scribe to go along with them to Egypt; they carried them
|
|
away as prisoners, partly to punish them (and a greater punishment they
|
|
could not inflict upon them than to force them against their
|
|
consciences; theirs is the worst of tyranny who say to men's souls,
|
|
even to good men's souls, <I>Bow down, that we may go over</I>), partly
|
|
to put some reputation upon themselves and their own way. Though the
|
|
prophets were under a force, they would make the world believe that
|
|
they were voluntary in going along with them; and who could have blamed
|
|
them for acting contrary to the word of the Lord if the prophets
|
|
themselves had acted so? They <I>came to Tahpanhes,</I> a famous city
|
|
of Egypt (so called from a queen of that name,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ki+11:19">1 Kings xi. 19</A>),
|
|
|
|
the same with <I>Hanes</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Isa+30:4">Isa. xxx. 4</A>);
|
|
|
|
it was now the metropolis, for Pharaoh's house was there,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:9"><I>v.</I> 9</A>.
|
|
|
|
No place could serve these proud men to settle in but the royal city
|
|
and near the court, so little mindful were they of Joseph's wisdom, who
|
|
would have his brethren settle in Goshen. If they had had the spirit of
|
|
Israelites, they would have chosen rather to dwell in the wilderness of
|
|
Judah than in the most pompous populous cities of Egypt.</P>

saying,

9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in
|
|
the brick-kiln, which <I>is</I> 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 L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT> 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, <I>and
|
|
deliver</I> such <I>as are</I> for death to death; and such <I>as are</I> for
|
|
captivity to captivity; and such <I>as are</I> 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 <I>is</I> in
|
|
the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians
|
|
shall he burn with fire.

<P>

|
We have here, as also in the next chapter, Jeremiah prophesying in
|
|
Egypt. Jeremiah was now in Tahpanhes, for there his lords and masters
|
|
were; he was there among idolatrous Egyptians and treacherous
|
|
Israelites; but there,
|
|
|
|
1. He received <I>the word of the Lord;</I> it <I>came to him.</I> God
|
|
can find his people, with the visits of his grace, wherever they are;
|
|
and, when his ministers are bound, yet the word of the Lord is not
|
|
bound. The spirit of prophecy was not confined to the land of Israel.
|
|
When Jeremiah went into Egypt, not out of choice, but by constraint,
|
|
God withdrew not his wonted favour from him.
|
|
|
|
2. What he received of the Lord he delivered to the people. Wherever we
|
|
are we must endeavour to do good, for that is our business in this
|
|
world. Now we find two messages which Jeremiah was appointed and
|
|
entrusted to deliver when he was in Egypt. We may suppose that he
|
|
rendered what services he could to his countrymen in Egypt, at least as
|
|
far as they would be acceptable, in performing the ordinary duties of a
|
|
prophet, praying for them and instructing and comforting them; but only
|
|
two messages of his, which he had received immediately from God, are
|
|
recorded, one in this chapter, relating to Egypt itself and foretelling
|
|
its destruction, the other in the next chapter, relating to the Jews in
|
|
Egypt. God had told them before that if they went into Egypt the sword
|
|
they feared should follow them; here he tells them further that the
|
|
sword of Nebuchadnezzar, which they were in a particular manner afraid
|
|
of, should follow them.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
I. This is foretold by a sign. Jeremiah must take <I>great stones,</I>
|
|
such as are used for foundations, and <I>lay them in the clay of
|
|
the</I> furnace, or <I>brick-kiln,</I> which is in <I>the open way,</I>
|
|
or <I>beside the way</I> that leads <I>to Pharaoh's house</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:9"><I>v.</I> 9</A>),
|
|
|
|
some remarkable place in view of the royal palace. Egypt was famous for
|
|
brick-kilns, witness the slavery of the Israelites there, whom they
|
|
forced to make bricks
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Ex+5:7">Exod. v. 7</A>),
|
|
|
|
which perhaps was now remembered against them. The foundation of
|
|
Egypt's desolation was laid in those brick-kilns, in <I>that clay.</I>
|
|
This he must do, not in the sight of the Egyptians (they knew not
|
|
Jeremiah's character), but <I>in the sight of the men of Judah</I> to
|
|
whom he was sent, that, since he could not prevent their going into
|
|
Egypt, he might bring them to repent of their going.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
II. It is foretold in express words, as express as can be,
|
|
|
|
1. That the king, the present king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, the very
|
|
same that had been employed in the destruction of Jerusalem, should
|
|
come in person against the land of Egypt, should make himself master
|
|
even of this royal city, by the same token that he should <I>set his
|
|
throne</I> in that very place where <I>these stones</I> were laid,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:10"><I>v.</I> 10</A>.
|
|
|
|
This minute circumstance is particularly foretold, that, when it was
|
|
accomplished, they might be put in mind of the prophecy and confirmed
|
|
in their belief of the extent and certainly of the divine prescience,
|
|
to which the smallest and most contingent events are evident. God calls
|
|
Nebuchadnezzar his servant, because herein he executed God's will,
|
|
accomplished his purposes, and was instrumental to carry on his
|
|
designs. Note, The world's princes are God's servants and he makes what
|
|
use he pleases of them, and even those that know him not, nor aim at
|
|
his honour, are the tools which his providence makes use of.
|
|
|
|
2. That he should destroy many of the Egyptians, and have them all at
|
|
his mercy
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:11"><I>v.</I> 11</A>):
|
|
|
|
<I>He shall smite the land of Egypt;</I> and, though it has been always
|
|
a warlike nation, yet none shall be able to make head against him, but
|
|
whom he will he shall slay, and by what sort of death he will, whether
|
|
pestilence (for that is here meant by <I>death,</I> as
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+15:2"><I>ch.</I> xv. 2</A>)
|
|
|
|
by shutting them up in places infected, or by the sword of war or
|
|
justice, in cold blood or hot. And whom he will he shall save alive and
|
|
carry into <I>captivity.</I> The Jews, by going into Egypt, brought the
|
|
Chaldeans thither, and so did but ill repay those that entertained
|
|
them. Those who promised to protect Israel from the king of Babylon
|
|
exposed themselves to him.
|
|
|
|
3. That he shall destroy the idols of Egypt, both the temples and the
|
|
images of their gods
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:12"><I>v.</I> 12</A>):
|
|
|
|
<I>He shall burn, the houses of the gods of Egypt,</I> but it shall be
|
|
with a fire of God's kindling; the fire of God's wrath fastens upon
|
|
them, and then he burns some of them and carries others captive,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Isa+46:1">Isa. xlvi. 1</A>.
|
|
|
|
<I>Beth-shemesh,</I> or <I>the house of the sun,</I> was so called from
|
|
a temple there built to the sun, where at certain times there was a
|
|
general meeting of the worshippers of the sun. The statues or standing
|
|
images there he shall <I>break in pieces</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:13"><I>v.</I> 13</A>)
|
|
|
|
and carry away the rich materials of them. It intimates that he should
|
|
lay all waste when even the temple and the images should not escape the
|
|
fury of the victorious army. The king of Babylon was himself a great
|
|
idolater and a patron of idolatry; he had his temples and images in
|
|
honour of the sun as well as the Egyptians; and yet he is employed to
|
|
destroy the idols of Egypt. Thus God sometimes makes one wicked man, or
|
|
wicked nation, a scourge and plague to another.
|
|
|
|
4. That he shall make himself master of the land of Egypt, and none
|
|
shall be able to plead its cause or avenge its quarrel
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Jer+43:12"><I>v.</I> 12</A>):
|
|
|
|
<I>He shall array himself with the rich spoils of the land of
|
|
Egypt,</I> both beautify and fortify himself with them. He shall array

|
himself with them as ornaments and as armour; and this, though it shall
|
|
be a rich and heavy booty, being expert in war, and expeditious, he
|
|
shall slip on with as much ease and in as little time, in comparison,
|
|
<I>as a shepherd slips on his garment,</I> when he goes to turn out his
|
|
sheep in a morning. And being loaded with the wealth of many other
|
|
nations, the fruits of his conquests, he shall make no more of the
|
|
spoils of the land of Egypt than of a shepherd's coat. And when he has
|
|
taken what he pleases (as Benhadad threatened to do,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ki+20:6">1 Kings xx. 6</A>)
|
|
|
|
he shall <I>go forth in peace,</I> without any molestation given him,
|
|
or any precipitation for fear of it, so effectually reduced shall the
|
|
land of Egypt be. This destruction of Egypt by the king of Babylon is
|
|
foretold,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Eze+29:19,30:10">Ezek. xxix. 19 and xxx. 10</A>.
|
|
|
|
Babylon lay at a great distance from Egypt, and yet thence the
|
|
destruction of Egypt comes; for God can make those judgments strike
|
|
home which are far-fetched.</P>
