Pictures from Jeremiah

The ‘false’ prophets among Jeremiah’s contemporaries, were continuing to predict that Judah was going to have a light and short ‘2-year discipline’ (Jer. 28:3,4; 38:1-4). Jeremiah’s message proclaimed the opposite - that the Babylonians were certainly going to take them into captivity for 70 years (25:1-14). There would be a long horrific siege, the destruction of the magnificently built temple of King Solomon, and all their cities and farm lands destroyed.
