Jeremiah 15:1

"Jeremiah."

Key Reflection

In Jeremiah 15:1, God communicates a profound message to the prophet, emphasizing His sovereignty even over influential figures like Moses and Samuel. This divine declaration underscores that despite their importance, even these great men would not sway God's plans for His people. The cultural context of first-century Judah highlights how this statement challenges the notion that human worth or influence could alter divine will, reinforcing the idea that God's purposes stand firm regardless of external pressures or opposition.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Cast them out of my sight -Rather, “send them out of My presence, and let them go away.” The prophet is to dismiss them, because their mediators, Moses and Samuel, whose intercession had been accepted in old times (marginal references), would intercede now in vain.
