Jeremiah 28 - Summary

The prophet Hananiah from Gibeon publicly contradicts Jeremiah, promising that within two years God will break Babylon's yoke and return the exiles and temple vessels. He breaks Jeremiah's yoke-bars. Jeremiah departs; later God sends him back: Hananiah has replaced wooden bars with iron. Hananiah shall die that year for speaking rebellion against the LORD—and he dies within two months.
