The officials here refer to the Judean leaders who were part of King Jehoiakim's court. These officials were aware of the political and religious implications of Jeremiah's prophecies, which often called for repentance and warned of impending judgment. Their decision to speak to Baruch indicates their recognition of the seriousness of the message he had delivered on behalf of Jeremiah.<p><b>“You and Jeremiah must hide yourselves</b><br>The command to hide reflects the dangerous political climate in Jerusalem at the time. Jeremiah's prophecies were not well-received by the ruling authorities, as they often predicted the downfall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile. The officials' advice to hide suggests that they understood the threat posed by King Jehoiakim, who had previously shown hostility towards Jeremiah's messages. This situation highlights the tension between God's prophets and the political powers of the day, a recurring theme in the Old Testament.<p><b>and tell no one where you are.”</b><br>This instruction underscores the need for secrecy and protection. The officials likely feared that if Jeremiah and Baruch were found, they would face severe punishment or even death. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's protection over His messengers, as seen in other instances where prophets were shielded from harm (e.g., Elijah in <a href="/1_kings/19.htm">1 Kings 19</a>). The need for secrecy also emphasizes the gravity of the prophetic message and the lengths to which God's servants must sometimes go to ensure its preservation and delivery.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, called by God to deliver messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah.
