Introduction

In Jeremiah 11-12, the prophet complains because he is surprised by opposition.
In Jeremiah 13, he delivered a message of judgment to Judah by way of acted parables involving a ruined waistband and jugs filled with wine.
In these chapters tonight, Jeremiah 14-15, Jeremiah is back to complaining.
The situation in Judah is dire. That’s what we see in Jeremiah 14:1-6.
What follows afterward is a conversation between Jeremiah and YHWH.

Notes

Drought comes as apart of the curse for disobeying God.
Deuteronomy 28:22–24 NASB95
22 “The Lord will smite you with consumption and with fever and with inflammation and with fiery heat and with the sword and with blight and with mildew, and they will pursue you until you perish. 23 “The heaven which is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, iron. 24 “The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust; from heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed.
False prophets in Jeremiah’s day and false teachers in our’s.
2 Peter 2:1–3 NASB95
1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. 2 Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; 3 and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
How do we recognize false teaching?
- Adding to the Gospel
Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone)
Sola Fide (Faith alone)
Sola Gratia (Grace alone)
Sola Christus (Christ alone)
Sola Deo Gloria (Glory to God alone)
- Subtracting from Jesus (his humanity or his deity)
- Dividing the Father and the Son
- Multiplying the Persons within the Trinity
Know the Scripture so that you know his voice!
John 10:27 NASB95
27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;
Jeremiah 15:4 NASB95
4 “I will make them an object of horror among all the kingdoms of the earth because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

Manasseh ruled Judah c. 697–642 B.C. He committed idolatry, practiced child sacrifice, used fortune-tellers, and generally led Judah to hate God’s word (2 Chron. 33:1–9). He repented late in life (2 Chron. 33:10–20).

15:4 Manasseh Judah’s most wicked king (see note on 2 Chr 33:1).

Jeremiah’s enemies making supplication to him in times of distress
Jeremiah 21:1–2 NASB95
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, saying, 2 “Please inquire of the Lord on our behalf, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is warring against us; perhaps the Lord will deal with us according to all His wonderful acts, so that the enemy will withdraw from us.”
Jeremiah 37:3 NASB95
3 Yet King Zedekiah sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Please pray to the Lord our God on our behalf.”
Jeremiah 42:1–2 NASB95
1 Then all the commanders of the forces, Johanan the son of Kareah, Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people both small and great approached 2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our petition come before you, and pray for us to the Lord your God, that is for all this remnant; because we are left but a few out of many, as your own eyes now see us,
Jer 15:12 “iron…iron from the north”

15:12 Anyone may actually refer to the false prophet Hananiah. He had broken the wooden yoke around Jeremiah’s neck, but he would not be able to break the yoke of iron (28:10–13). Neither would he be able to stop the iron from the north—Babylon.

Jeremiah 28:10–13 NASB95
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it. 11 Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Even so will I break within two full years the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.’ ” Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way. 12 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 “Go and speak to Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord, “You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made instead of them yokes of iron.”
