Jeremiah 1
The
appointment of Jeremiah to the prophet's office
In chapter 1 the prophet
is established in his office, to which he had been
appointed by Jehovah, even before his birth, that he
should carry His word unto the nations. But Jeremiah's
fears are immediately manifested. The Lord encourages him
by the assurance of His presence. He puts His words into
his mouth, and appoints him as prophet over the nations
to root out and to plant. Two visions are shewn him,
which contain the summary of the prophetic charge
communicated to him, and announce that Jerusalem shall
soon be stricken by the kingdoms of the north. Under
these circumstances Jeremiah is set before a rebellious
people, who will strive against him. Nevertheless he must
declare everything; and as the Lord had before encouraged
the prophet, He now adds to the encouragement, in order
to enforce it, a threat in case of disobedience; namely,
that, if through fear he drew back from his commission,
the Lord would become a greater cause of fear, and would
break him to pieces before those of whom he was afraid.
But if he fulfilled his appointed task, Jehovah would be
with him. Verses 6-8, 17, 18, shew the great fearfulness
of the prophet's spirit, which needed to be thus
strengthened by Jehovah.
