Jeremiah 28
1. Hananiah prophesies falsely the return of the vessels, and of Jeconiah
3. and there continue until the day of visitation.
5. Jeremiah, wishing it to be true, shows that the event will declare the true prophets.
10. Hananiah breaks Jeremiah's yoke.
12. Jeremiah tells of an iron yoke;
15. and foretells Hananiah's death.














And in the seventh month
The phrase "in the seventh month" situates this event within the Jewish calendar, which is significant for understanding the timing of Hananiah's death. The seventh month, Tishri, is a time of important Jewish festivals, including the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). This timing underscores the gravity of Hananiah's death, as it occurs during a period of reflection, repentance, and celebration. Theologically, it suggests a divine orchestration, emphasizing the seriousness of Hananiah's false prophecy and the importance of adhering to God's true word.

of that very year
This phrase emphasizes the immediacy and fulfillment of Jeremiah's prophecy against Hananiah. It was not a distant or vague prediction but one that came to pass within the same year, highlighting the accuracy and authority of Jeremiah as a true prophet of God. This serves as a powerful reminder of the certainty of God's word and the consequences of false prophecy. Historically, it reinforces the timeline of events during the reign of Zedekiah, providing a concrete marker in the narrative of Judah's last days before the Babylonian exile.

Hananiah the prophet
Hananiah is identified as a prophet, which is significant because it acknowledges his role and influence among the people. However, his actions and words were contrary to God's true message delivered through Jeremiah. The title "prophet" here is used in a context that contrasts true and false prophecy. Hananiah's account serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of misleading God's people and the responsibility that comes with claiming to speak on behalf of the Lord. Scripturally, this distinction between true and false prophets is a recurring theme, emphasizing the need for discernment and faithfulness to God's revealed word.

died
The word "died" is the culmination of the judgment pronounced by Jeremiah in response to Hananiah's false prophecy. It is a sobering reminder of the seriousness with which God views the integrity of His word and the role of His messengers. In the Hebrew context, death as a consequence for false prophecy underscores the holiness and justice of God. This event serves as a divine vindication of Jeremiah's message and a warning to all who would presume to speak falsely in God's name. It highlights the ultimate accountability that all individuals, especially those in positions of spiritual authority, have before God.
