Jeremiah 28:3

"“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon."

Key Reflection

The Lord declares through Jeremiah that He has broken the oppressive yoke imposed by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, signaling an end to Judah's captivity and subjugation. For the original audience living under Babylonian rule, this promise would have resonated with their longing for liberation and independence from foreign domination, offering hope amidst oppression.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Within two full years -literally, In yet two years even days. Hananiah probably was induced to fix this date by the expectation that the confederacy then on foot would defeat Nebuchadnezzar.
