Compulsory Service and Conditional Calamity The original prophecy said: “11 And all this land will be reduced to ruins and will become an object of horror, and these nations will have to serve the king of Babylon for 70 years.”’ 12 “‘But when 70 years have been fulfilled, I will call to account the king of Babylon and that nation for their error,’ declares Jehovah, ‘and I will make the land of the Chaldeans a desolate wasteland for all time.” Jer. 2511-12 The Original Prophecy content:

One of the most quoted pieces of scripture is found within Jeremiah 29:1-14. The popularity of this verse has led it to be well known outside of its historical and literary context. It is prudent for those who want to apply the truths of scripture to their lives to know not only what the truth means to the present audience but also what it would mean to the biblical audience. Fortunately for the current reader, the opening of the chapter provides clear historical context for the reader before delving

Jeremiah was a Levite priest and one of the Major Prophets of the pre exilic time. He lived in Judah, and began his prophetic ministry as a young man in his village of Anathoth near Jerusalem about 627 BC during the reign of King Josiah. His ministry lasted until around 582 BC sometime after the fall of Jerusalem and the beginning of the Babylon captivity. The book of Jeremiah begins with an account of Jeremiah’s call to be a prophet. (Jeremiah 1:4-6) he was destined to be a prophet even before

Prophets of Zion and the Babylonian Exile In ancient Jewish culture, prophets were a part of every-day life. They proclaimed what they understood to be God's word, and lived according to it. In times of crisis, prophets were even more present, to warn and give consolation to the people. One time period in which there were many prophets was the Babylonian Exile, where the people of Judah were taken and deported to live in Babylon. Of the books of the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, Isaiah 63:7-64:12

Chapter 58 of Isaiah marks an important change in cultural values due to the humiliation brought about by the Babylonian invasion around the 6th century B.C.E. Gone are the days of good and evil being simply defined as that which coincides with Yahweh’s will, and that which doesn’t. Now, Isaiah tells the people that simply following the current ways of sacrifice aren’t enough, and instead calls for social justice (Chilton, 200), and, in a sense, attempts to invite a return to pre-monarchical social

Second Isaiah is enclosed within the Book of Isaiah as one of the compositions during the exile. Consequently, it is comprehended as one the first of the Latter Prophets in the Hebrew Bible and the first of the Major Prophets in the Christian Old Testament. Furthermore, the writings predominantly consist of an anonymous prophet who more than likely lived with the Hebrew exiles during the period of Babylonian captivity.

mission God has commissioned to the people due to their stubbornness. Thus, Israel was delivered up to plunderers and robbers (42:22-25). This rebellious servant is in paradoxical relationship with the ideal servant figure in 42:1-9, creating tension between them. The blind and deaf servant theme continues in 43:1-13, introducing the task of the servant as God’s witness. In spite of the fragility of the servant, God still loves the servant Israel and wills to use the servant as his witness among
