Morning Light - Jeremiah 28

Today: [Jeremiah 28] When the Prophets Contradict Each Other. In this chapter, we meet a fellow prophet of Jeremiah by the name of Hananiah. Hananiah is a well-liked prophetic voice, endorsed by the king and popular among the people. Jeremiah on the other hand is in stocks, being led about with a wooden yoke on his neck as public punishment for given such negative words over the city of Jerusalem. In this midst of his humiliation, Hananiah takes the stage and gives a prophetic word completely contrary to what Jeremiah has been saying. What happens next is a lesson for all those who deign to hear God’s voice.
