Jeremiah Chapter 35 Discussion

They were obedient to their earthly father but disobedient to their heavenly Father.

Clearly, they were evil doers and idolators. (Verses 14-15)

Their obedience to Jonadab carried some weight with God ( Ex. 20:12)

Yes, type setters are human too.

Is there a typo in this verse?

Shouldn't 'Nebuchadrezzar' be 'Nebuchadnezzar'?

You are right

I don't get it

God is a rewarder of those who diligently follow and obey him.

Sorry I misread/misunderstood about the Rechabites. Thanks to 'a disciple' for explicit explanation. May God continue to bless us as we help each other to understand His words.

Jeannie; The LORD sent Jeremiah to speak with the Rechabites to show them as an example of faithfully keeping the words of their father, and keeping themselves separate from the pollutions of the world and the flesh: for a rebuke to Israel, because they would not hear the words of their Father and their God! So too all those who fear the word of the LORD and love Jesus; our obedience convicts men.

Have I misunderstood this chapter35? - God sent instructions via Jeremiah to the Rechabites who did not adhere. God was not pleased because they were faithful to man and not Him. Therefore God pronounced evil upon them. But I notice comments and Commentary are saying otherwise.

The Rechabites come from the house of Hemath and are kenites, sons of Cain and THEY DRINK NO WINE! Their father is not our Father. Check out Jonadab cause this bunch is bad.

God the father realy honored the choice of the rechabites who were faithful to human concepts and so much worried coz we have not amend our ways to remain faithful forever to his commandment. Shall we have spiritual rechabites who will stand firm in faith. Rememberit 's was 300 years after jonadab their father had died but they were able to rem the living principles.how often do we want to sin by not being willing to listen to God 's voice and keep his commandment,

God always keeps His holy few.

The Rechabites were faithful and were firm on the words of their fathers. This was to show that if Judah was willing to repent n follow God,they would never lack one to reign in their descendants. This was to illustrate that God needed Judah to be faithful to his commandments. To today's church faithfulness and obedience is the key to Gods blessings and favor.

If God can reward those who obeyed human directives then how marvelous is He going to bless us who obeys Hos words and follow.

Obedience of Recabite family, no worldly things can change them

It’s a good chapter because it tells how can we obey the commandments of our God.

why jonadab commanded this way ?
