The title "LORD of Hosts" emphasizes God's sovereignty and command over heavenly armies, underscoring His power and authority. The "God of Israel" highlights the covenant relationship with His chosen people, reminding them of His faithfulness despite their disobedience.I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations: The "yoke of iron" symbolizes severe bondage and inescapable servitude. In ancient times, a yoke was a wooden bar placed on the necks of oxen for plowing, representing submission and control. An iron yoke suggests an unbreakable and harsh domination. This imagery is used to convey the inevitability and severity of Babylonian rule over the nations, including Judah.to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon: Nebuchadnezzar is identified as the instrument of God's judgment. Historically, Nebuchadnezzar was a powerful ruler who expanded the Babylonian Empire. His reign is well-documented in both biblical and extra-biblical sources, confirming the historical accuracy of the biblical narrative. This servitude is a direct consequence of the nations' disobedience to God.and they will serve him: This reiterates the certainty of the prophecy. The nations' service to Nebuchadnezzar is not optional but decreed by God. It reflects the fulfillment of God's word, as seen in the historical subjugation of these nations by Babylon. This also serves as a reminder of God's control over world events and leaders.I have even given him control of the beasts of the field: This phrase extends Nebuchadnezzar's dominion beyond human subjects to the natural world, indicating total sovereignty granted by God. It echoes the dominion mandate given to humanity in Genesis, now transferred to a pagan king as a form of judgment. This comprehensive control underscores the completeness of God's decree and the extent of Babylon's power during this period.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A prophet called by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah, often warning them of impending judgment due to their disobedience. 2. <a href="/topical/h/hananiah.htm">Hananiah</a> A false prophet who opposed Jeremiah, claiming that God would break the yoke of Babylon and free the people within two years, contradicting Jeremiah's message. 3. <a href="/topical/n/nebuchadnezzar.htm">Nebuchadnezzar</a> The king of Babylon, whom God used as an instrument of judgment against Judah and other nations. 4. <a href="/topical/b/babylon.htm">Babylon</a> The empire that conquered Judah and took many of its people into exile, serving as a tool of God's discipline. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_yoke_of_iron.htm">The Yoke of Iron</a> A symbol of the unavoidable and heavy burden of Babylonian domination that God decreed for the nations, contrasting with the wooden yoke Hananiah falsely claimed would be broken.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a> God is in control of nations and rulers, using them to fulfill His purposes, even when they are unaware of His hand. <a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_disobedience.htm">The Consequences of Disobedience</a> Persistent disobedience to God leads to severe consequences, as seen in Judah's subjugation to Babylon. <a href="/topical/d/discernment_of_true_prophecy.htm">Discernment of True Prophecy</a> Believers must discern true messages from God, as false prophets like Hananiah can lead people astray with comforting but deceptive words. <a href="/topical/s/submission_to_god's_discipline.htm">Submission to God's Discipline</a> Accepting God's discipline, even when it is difficult, is crucial for spiritual growth and restoration. <a href="/topical/h/hope_in_god's_plan.htm">Hope in God's Plan</a> Despite the immediate hardship, God's plans ultimately aim for the good of His people, as seen in the eventual return from exile.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_jeremiah_28.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 28</a> <a href="/q/how_reconcile_jeremiah_27_with_archaeology.htm">How do we address the discrepancy between Jeremiah 27's portrayal of divine judgment on nations and archaeological findings that may not support widespread destruction or subjugation?</a> <a href="/q/what_happens_when_wells_run_dry.htm">What do the two baskets of figs symbolize?</a> <a href="/q/why_does_isaiah_14_22_say_babylon_is_gone.htm">Why does Isaiah 14:22 indicate a complete annihilation of Babylon when other biblical passages describe Babylon's later presence or rebuilding?</a> <a href="/q/why_do_jer._52_12-14_and_2_kgs_25_8-10_differ.htm">Why does Jeremiah 52:12-14 seem to conflict with 2 Kings 25:8-10 regarding the exact timing of Jerusalem's destruction?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/28.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) I have given him the beasts of the field also.--On the significance of this addition see Note on <a href="/jeremiah/27-6.htm" title="And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.">Jeremiah 27:6</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/28.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 14. -
