These words were a direct message from God, warning of impending judgment due to the people's disobedience. The context is crucial as it highlights the gravity of the message, which was meant to provoke repentance. The scroll was read in the presence of King Jehoiakim, who was ruling during a tumultuous period in Judah's history, marked by political instability and spiritual decline.<p><b>the king and his servants</b><br>King Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, was known for his rebellion against God and his alliance with Egypt. His reign was characterized by idolatry and injustice. The "servants" likely refer to his officials and advisors, who were complicit in his actions. This group represents the leadership of Judah, who were responsible for guiding the nation spiritually and politically. Their response to the prophetic message is indicative of their hardened hearts and unwillingness to heed God's warnings.<p><b>did not become frightened</b><br>The lack of fear in response to God's words is significant. In biblical times, fear of the Lord was considered the beginning of wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>). The absence of fear suggests a deep spiritual insensitivity and arrogance. This reaction contrasts with other biblical figures who responded with fear and repentance when confronted with God's judgment, such as the people of Nineveh in the book of Jonah.<p><b>or tear their garments</b><br>Tearing one's garments was a traditional expression of mourning, repentance, or distress in ancient Near Eastern cultures. It was a physical manifestation of inner turmoil and a sign of humility before God. The fact that neither the king nor his servants tore their garments indicates a refusal to acknowledge their sin or the seriousness of the prophetic message. This lack of response is a stark contrast to King Josiah, Jehoiakim's father, who tore his garments upon hearing the Book of the Law (<a href="/2_kings/22-11.htm">2 Kings 22:11</a>) and led a national reform.<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, often warning them of impending judgment due to their disobedience.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_jehoiakim.htm">King Jehoiakim</a></b><br>The king of Judah during this time, known for his disregard for God's word and his rebellious actions against the prophetic messages delivered by Jeremiah.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/b/baruch.htm">Baruch</a></b><br>Jeremiah's scribe, who wrote down the words of the prophecy as dictated by Jeremiah and read them to the people and officials.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_temple.htm">The Temple</a></b><br>The central place of worship in Jerusalem where Baruch read the scroll to the people, highlighting the importance of the message being delivered in a sacred space.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_scroll.htm">The Scroll</a></b><br>The written record of Jeremiah's prophecies, which was read aloud to the people and later destroyed by King Jehoiakim, symbolizing his rejection of God's word.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_reverence_for_god's_word.htm">The Importance of Reverence for God's Word</a></b><br>The indifference of Jehoiakim and his servants serves as a warning against taking God's word lightly.
