Jeremiah 34
Through Jeremiah, God is warning Zedekiah (v. 1-7) to surrender, and he would not face death but have a peaceful death.
Freedom for Slaves
v. 8-31
Zedekiah had a made a covenant with the people to free all Hebrew slaves. But later, they broke their word. Jeremiah reminded Zedekiah about the Sabbathical Year, every seven years, slaves should be freed but apparently Zedekiah and his forefather had ignored this command because of this the people of Judah will have 'freedom' to fall by the sword, plague and famine. God would make the abhorrent to the nations of the world.
Application:
Sin has its consequence. Whatever is sown will be reaped. There is mercy shown before the actual punishment. Mercy precedes judgement.
Verses to meditate on:
17 "Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. 18 You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the fathers' sins into the laps of their children after them. O great and powerful God, whose name is the LORD Almighty, 19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to all the ways of men; you reward everyone according to his conduct and as his deeds deserve.
26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 27 "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?
