Jehoiakim was a vassal king under the influence of Egypt and later Babylon, reflecting the political instability of the time. His reign marked a departure from the reforms of his father, Josiah, who was known for his faithfulness to God. This period was characterized by increasing pressure from Babylon, leading to the eventual exile. The fourth year of Jehoiakim is also notable for the Battle of Carchemish, where Babylon defeated Egypt, shifting the balance of power in the region.<p><b>this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD</b><br>Jeremiah, a prophet called by God, often received direct revelations from the LORD, emphasizing the divine origin of his messages. This phrase underscores the authority and authenticity of the prophetic word, distinguishing it from human opinion. The phrase "word of the LORD" is a common biblical expression indicating a message from God, often carrying warnings, instructions, or promises. Jeremiah's role as a prophet was to communicate God's will to the people of Judah, calling them to repentance and warning of impending judgment due to their disobedience. This divine communication highlights the ongoing relationship between God and His chosen people, despite their rebellion.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A prophet called by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah.
