Jeremiah 25

Now here God taketh exact notice of the long time, and many means which we have enjoyed, as (Luke 13:7) these three years &c. It alludeth to the time of Christ's ministry, he was just then entring upon his last half year, as by a serious harmonizing the Evangelists will appear (…

The very consideration of his nature — a God of love, pity, and tender mercies — or of his relation to you, as a father, husband, friend — might be security enough, even if he had not spoken a word, to quiet you in this case. And yet you have his word too (Jeremiah 25:6): 'I wil…

But yet God in mercy deferred the beginning of their bondage; whereby the time was much shortened at the beginning. So the time wherein it was foretold that the whole land of Israel should be a desolation and an astonishment, and the land should enjoy her sabbaths, by the Babylo…

In a word, what have we to do with consolations, unless the doctrine of repentance goes before? The dregs then are not to be taken in this place, as they are in Jeremiah 25:15. where he speaks of the reprobates (whom the Lord chokes and stifles with the drink of this cup) but fo…

Here he brings in two places of the Prophets at once, tending both to this purpose. The first is in (Jeremiah 25), saying thus. Behold, I begin to plague the city, where my name is called upon: I will first chastise and punish my best beloved and dearest children, they must firs…

Among these are, Lyra, Burgensis, Galatinus, and he from whom he borrowed his Computation Raymandus Martini. These fix the beginning of the Weeks on the fourth year of Zedekiah, as they say, when Jeremiah gave out his Prophecy about the Babylonish Captivity, and the return from…

We read in Scripture sometimes of the face of the sword, and sometimes of the mouth of the sword. As Isaiah 31:8. where we translate, they shall flee from the sword, the Hebrew is, they shall flee from the face of the sword; The like text you have, Jeremiah 25:27. Now when the S…

This promise is my security, however things go in the world. My God will do me no hurt, Jeremiah 25:6. In fact, he will do me good by every dispensation. O that I had but an heart to make all things work for his glory, that thus causeth every thing to work for my good.

To hearken to them, is to hearken to him; to despise them, is to despise him. Thus God comes every Sabbath; and lecture; in every ordinance that is dispensed, every sermon that is preached, every counsel and warning that is privately given (Jeremiah 25:4, 7). Providences are so…

Books of Register are in the Scripture ascribed to God, after the manner of men, to intimate to us, that he has the exact account of such things with him, that he keeps them in remembrance, and forgets none of them. For this reason we have him so often, in his word, giving his p…

SINNERS ought to Repent NOW. Jer. 25.5. They said, turn you again NOW every one from his evil way. This Chapter contains the substance of a Sermon preached by the Prophet Jeremiah, wherein he declares that destroying judgments were coming upon the Jews: and mentions the reason o…

A heavy judgment of God now then lies upon them. It is a grievous reproof the Prophet takes up against the Chaldeans (Isaiah 47:6-10): These two shall come upon you in one day, loss of children and widowhood, etc., and yet compare that with (Jeremiah 25:9). The Chaldeans did no…
