Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:26-44

Jeremiah 32:26-Acts : . Yahweh answers the prophet by declaring the issue and cause of the present distress, and by promising ( Jeremiah 32:36 ff.) the future restoration of the people to Palestine, where they shall dwell in religious unity and in prosperity. Most or all of this seems later than Jeremiah; e.g. Jeremiah 32:31 agrees with Ezekiel (Ezekiel 16), rather than with Jeremiah 32:43 presupposes the exile; Jeremiah 32:27-Habakkuk : is irrelevant to the context. Jeremiah 32:29 . Cf.... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 32:27

The Lord beginneth this revelation, for the prophet’s satisfaction, with the preface expressive of his power and universal dominion, from which Jeremiah might understand that he could do whatsoever he pleased, and man, that was but flesh, Genesis 6:3, could not hinder his effecting what he designed to do. God is also the God of the spirits of all flesh, Numbers 16:22; but he expresseth man here only under the notion of flesh, as Genesis 6:3, to denote his vileness and inconsiderableness as to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:27

Jeremiah 32:27 This is God's account of Himself. I. I am. Individuality. II. I am the Lord. Dominion and majesty. III. The God of all flesh.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-44

Chapter 32The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar ( Jeremiah 32:1 ).Now in the eleventh year of Zedekiah is when Jerusalem fell. So this is right at the end.For then [even at this time, the tenth year] the king of Babylon's army had besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house. For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 32:1-44

Jeremiah 32:1 . The eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. This name, which in Hebrew signifies groaning and complaint, aptly describes the miseries he inflicted on the nations. Like an inundation he ravaged all the conquered states, instead of watering them. He was son of Merodach, and founder of the Babylonian empire. Daniel 2:7. He is called the head of gold, and the flying eagle. In the first year of his military career, which was the twenty ninth of king Josiah, he ruined Nineveh, and put... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 32:26-27

Jeremiah 32:26-27Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me?“Is anything too hard for the Lord?”This method of questioning the person to be instructed is known to teachers as the Socratic method. Socrates was wont, not so much to state a fact, as to ask a question and draw out thoughts from those whom he taught. His method had long before been used by a far greater teacher. Putting questions is Jehovah’s frequent method of instruction. Questions from the Lord... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:27

27. The God of all flesh The supremacy and universality of the divine dominion is here, as everywhere, a ground condition of the Old Testament relations. See Numbers 16:22; Numbers 27:16. Too hard Literally, too wonderful. read more
