Jeremiah 32:1-15
Now Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him there, saying, “Why do you prophesy as you do? You say, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am about to give this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it. Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape the Babylonians but will certainly be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him with his own eyes.
Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me: Hanamel son of Shallum your uncle is going to come to you and say, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, because as nearest relative it is your right and duty to buy it.’
In their presence I gave Baruch these instructions: ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Take these documents, both the sealed and unsealed copies of the deed of purchase, and put them in a clay jar so they will last a long time. For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.
Why?
Jeremiah said the word of the Lord but Zedekiah didn't like it so he was besieged. To be a prophet of the Lord may suffer many difficulties in worse circumstances.
Jeremiah under this situation still obey the word of the Lord and purchased the land, which signs in the future there are houses, files, and vineyards that will again be bought in this land. But he made payment and he could not see the land.
How?
Trust in the Lord, even if there is no hope and no way, the Lord will create a new way for us if we confess our sins and look for the word of the Lord.
