Jeremiah 24 - 29

The Lord said to Moses -

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him." (Old Testament Deuteronomy 18:18 - 19)

And then he addresses how we are to know if it is a Prophet of God -

And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him." (Old Testament Deuteronomy 18:21 - 22)

And of those who claim to be prophets and are not -

"...which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die." (Old Testament Deuteronomy 18:20)

Jeremiah had basically told Judah it was to late, that their captivity was eminent and they would -

"...serve the king of Babylon seventy years." (Old Testament Jeremiah 25:11)

Not just Judah but all nations for the Lord had -

"...given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him." (Old Testament Jeremiah 27:6 - 7)

Because of the that, Jeremiah, with a symbolic would yoke around his neck, counseled his people -

"...the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein." (Old Testament Jeremiah 27:11)

To king Zedekiah he said -

"...Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?" (Old Testament Jeremiah 27:12 - 13)

But because Zedekiah did not want to believe him, Jeremiah warns -

"...hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you." (Old Testament Jeremiah 27:14)

Sure enough, the false prophet -

"...Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years." (Old Testament Jeremiah 28:11)

Even that -

"Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon..." (Old Testament Jeremiah 28:3)

Jeremiah sarcastically responds -

"...Amen: the LORD do so..." (Old Testament Jeremiah 28:6)

Then -

"...went his way." (Old Testament Jeremiah 28:11)

And as he went -

"...Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it." (Old Testament Jeremiah 28:10)

"...Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also." (Old Testament Jeremiah 28:12 - 14)

And then as a true prophet -

"Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD." (Old Testament Jeremiah 28:15 - 16)

Sure enough as the Lord taught Moses that the words of a true prophet "would come to pass" -

"Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month." (Old Testament Jeremiah 28:17)
