Jeremiah Chapter 40 the Punishment of Not Taking Heed to What G-d Has Said

What G-d Said And Commanded So It Happened

Those who obeyed were spared. Those who disobeyed slaughtered.

Grass withers and blossom fades, but the word of our God shall stand forever.’

“Jeremiah Is Unchained”

“Gedaliah Appointed Governor”

The chief executioner took Jeremiah [aside] and said to him, “Hashem, your God, foretold this evil concerning this place;
40:2
and Hashem brought it about and did as He said, because you sinned to Hashem and did not heed His voice, so this matter befell you.
40:3
Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan swore to them and their men, saying, “Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans; settle in the land and serve the king of Babylonia and it will be well for you.
:9

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord after Nebuzaradan the chief executioner sent him away from Ramah when he took him and he was bound in fetters among the entire exile of Jerusalem and Judah who were exiled to Babylon.
2 And the chief executioner took Jeremiah and said to him, “The Lord your God spoke this evil upon this place.
3 And the Lord has brought and performed as He spoke, for you sinned against the Lord, and you did not hearken to His voice, and this thing has come upon you.
4 And now, behold I have released you today from the fetters that are on your hands; if it pleases you to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will look after you, and if it does not please you to come with me to Babylon, refrain. See, the whole land is before you; wherever it seems good and right to you to go, go there.”
5 But he would still not return, “So return to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed in the cities of Judah, and stay with him amidst the people, or go wherever it seems right to you to go,” and the chief executioner gave him an allowance and a present and sent him away.
6 And Jeremiah came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and he lived with him amidst the people remaining in the land.
7 And all the officers of the armies that were in the field heard, they and their men that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam in the land, and that he had appointed with him men, women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of those who were not exiled to Babylon.
8 And they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, “Fear not to serve the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.
10 And I, behold I dwell in Mizpah to stand before the Chaldeans who will come to us, and you gather wine and dried figs and oil and put [them] into your vessels and dwell in your cities, which you have taken.
11 And also, all the Jews who [were] in Moab and among the children of Ammon and in Edom and who [were] in all the lands, heard that the king of Babylon had given Judah a remnant and that he had appointed over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan.
12 And all the Jews returned from all the places they had been driven, and they came to the land of Judah to Gedaliah to Mizpah, and they gathered very much wine and dried figs.
13 And Johanan the son of Kareah and all the officers of the armies who were in the field, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah.
14 And they said to him, “Do you know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to assassinate you?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe them.
15 And Johanan the son of Kareah said to Gedaliah secretly, in Mizpah, saying, “Let me go now and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no one shall know. Why should he put you to death, and all the Judeans gathered to you scatter, and the remnant of Judah be lost?”
16 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, “Do not do this thing for you speak falsely about Ishmael.”

Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
