The two-year period is significant because it contrasts with the true prophecy given by Jeremiah, which stated that the Babylonian exile would last seventy years (<a href="/jeremiah/25-11.htm">Jeremiah 25:11-12</a>). The short time frame offered false hope to the people of Judah, who were eager for a quick resolution to their captivity.<p><b>I will restore to this place</b><br>The promise of restoration is central to the message of hope that Hananiah falsely proclaimed. "This place" refers to Jerusalem, specifically the temple, which was the spiritual and cultural heart of Judah. The idea of restoration would have been appealing to the people, who longed for the return of their former glory and the presence of God in the temple.<p><b>all the articles of the house of the LORD</b><br>The articles of the house of the LORD refer to the sacred vessels and items used in temple worship. These included items like the altar of incense, the table for the showbread, and the lampstand, among others. Their removal by Nebuchadnezzar was not only a physical loss but also a spiritual one, symbolizing the departure of God's favor and presence.<p><b>that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here</b><br>Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon who besieged Jerusalem and carried away the temple articles as spoils of war. This act was a common practice in the ancient Near East, symbolizing the victory of one nation's gods over another's. The removal of these items was a significant blow to the people of Judah, as it represented the desecration of their most sacred space.<p><b>and carried to Babylon</b><br>The transportation of the temple articles to Babylon was a fulfillment of earlier prophecies, such as those found in <a href="/isaiah/39-6.htm">Isaiah 39:6-7</a>, which warned of the Babylonian captivity. Babylon, a city known for its grandeur and idolatry, stood in stark contrast to Jerusalem. The carrying away of the temple articles to Babylon symbolized the subjugation of Judah and the apparent triumph of Babylonian gods over the God of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A prophet of God who warned Judah of impending judgment and called for repentance.

The conspiracy of Judah and the neighbouring states against Nebuchadnezzar was clearly ripening, and he looked on its success as certain. Prediction stood against prediction, and, as there were no signs or wonders wrought, men had to judge from what they knew of the lives of the men who uttered them which of them was most worthy of credit.
