Overview & Insights
“As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.” (Jeremiah 28:9)
Jeremiah answers Hananiah, who has publicly predicted a swift end to Babylon's yoke. Jeremiah insists that a prophet of peace is vindicated only when the promised peace actually arrives.
