Biblically, the number ten often represents completeness or a period of testing, as seen in the Ten Commandments or the ten plagues of Egypt. This waiting period may have been a test of the people's patience and faith, reflecting their willingness to trust in God's timing rather than their own. the word of the LORD
This phrase emphasizes the divine origin of the message Jeremiah is about to deliver. In the Old Testament, "the word of the LORD" is a common expression indicating a direct communication from God, often through His prophets. It underscores the authority and reliability of the message, distinguishing it from human opinion or advice. The word of the LORD is living and active, as seen inHebrews 4:12, and is central to the prophetic ministry. came to Jeremiah
Jeremiah, known as the "weeping prophet," was chosen by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah. His role as a prophet was to be a mouthpiece for God, often delivering messages of warning, judgment, and hope. The phrase indicates that Jeremiah was receptive to God's communication, highlighting his faithfulness and obedience. Jeremiah's prophetic ministry is marked by his deep personal struggles and his unwavering commitment to God's call, as seen throughout the book of Jeremiah. Persons / Places / Events 1. JeremiahA major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his prophecies concerning the destruction and eventual restoration of Jerusalem. He is often called the "weeping prophet" due to his deep sorrow over the sins of his people. 2. The LORDThe covenant name of God, Yahweh, who communicates His will and guidance to His people through His prophets. 3. The Remnant of JudahThe group of Israelites left in Judah after the Babylonian conquest, seeking guidance from God through Jeremiah. 4.

Teaching Points The Importance of Patience in Seeking God's WillJust as Jeremiah waited ten days for God's word, believers are encouraged to exercise patience when seeking divine guidance. God's timing is perfect, and waiting can be a test of faith and obedience. Trusting God's Plan Over Our OwnThe remnant of Judah faced a choice between their own plans and God's instructions. This teaches us to prioritize God's will over our own desires, even when His plans seem counterintuitive. The Role of Prophets and Scripture in GuidanceJeremiah's role as a prophet highlights the importance of seeking guidance through God's appointed messengers and His Word. Today, Scripture serves as our primary source of divine guidance. The Consequences of DisobedienceThe context of Jeremiah 42 warns of the consequences of ignoring God's instructions. This serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to God's commands. The Assurance of God's CommunicationGod's eventual response to Jeremiah assures us that He hears our prayers and will communicate His will in His perfect timing. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 42
Do the promises in Jer 42 about the safety of the remnant conflict with the calamities in Jer 43?
How can Jeremiah 20:7 be reconciled with James 1:13, which states that God never tempts or deceives anyone?
Jeremiah 42:7: Why would God wait ten days before speaking, and is there any historical or logical basis to verify this delay?
If Jeremiah 15:1 implies God would not listen to Moses or Samuel, how does this align with other passages portraying a merciful God?(7) After ten days.--The interval is significant, as indicating that the prophet would not give an answer of his own on the spur of the moment, but waited in prayer and meditation until there came into his mind that which he could utter as an oracle of God. So Ezekiel waited for seven days among the exiles that dwelt by the river of Chebar, till the word of the Lord came to him ( Ezekiel 3:16). When the hour came, the prophet preached to a multitude whose eagerness to hear him had been intensified by the suspense. Verse 7. - After ten days. Why this delay? Keil thinks it was for the sake of the people, who needed time to collect themselves and listen calmly to the revelation. Ezekiel once waited seven days ( Ezekiel 3:16); but this was owing to his own disturbed state of mind. The answer of the Lord extends to ver. 18, the last four verses being an epilogue enforcing the Divine declaration. It consists of the promise (vers. 9-12) that, if the people will remain quietly in the land, they will be protected; and of the threat (vers. 13-18) that, if they presume to migrate into Egypt, they will perish there by sword, famine, and pestilence.
