Many are missing the writing on the wall because they are not being watchmen on the wall.


Speaking the truth in love to those who do not love the truth will not make you loved but loathed.


Jeremiah 32:6-8
6 And Jeremiah said, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 7 ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field which is in Anathoth, for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.” ’ 8 Then Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the Lord, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. )


Jeremiah 32:9-12
9 So I bought the field from Hanamel, the son of my uncle who was in Anathoth, and weighed out to him the money—seventeen shekels of silver. 10 And I signed the deed and sealed it, took witnesses, and weighed the money on the scales. 11 So I took the purchase deed, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open; 12 and I gave the purchase deed to Baruch the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the purchase deed, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison.


Faith that is heaven sent often doesn’t make any earthly sense.


To obey the Lord, we do not need to understand His ways as much as we need to stand under His word.


Jeremiah 32:37-41
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely. 38 They shall be My people, and I will be their God; 39 then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. 40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. 41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.


Jeremiah 33:14-16
14 ‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah: 15 ‘In those days and at that time I will cause to grow up to David a Branch of righteousness; He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. 16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. And this is the name by which she will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.’


Let us be more concerned with being proved by righteousness than proving we are right.


Jeremiah 33:3
3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’


God asks for prayer because God answers prayer.


When things seem like they are at their worst, God’s work is at its best.

Discussion Questions

  1. According to Jeremiah 32:1-5, why was Jeremiah in prison? What is it about the truth of God’s Word that causes people to either be offended or go on the offensive with persecution? (See 2 Timothy 3:12-17)

  2. Why did God want Jeremiah to practice the “right of inheritance” and purchase his relatives’ field (see Jeremiah 32:40-41)? What is the bigger picture with this transaction as it pertains to planet earth? (See Luke 4:5-6/ Revelation 5)

  3. What is the Messianic prophecy as recorded in Jeremiah 23:5-6 and 33:14-16? Why is this prophecy so timely in the grand scheme of the Babylonian invasion?

  4. Read Jeremiah 33:3. How does this verse apply in context to Jeremiah’s circumstances? How can we tap into and apply the truth of this verse?
