  1. Prophet, prophet<\/em>. Both Jeremiah and Hananiah are called prophets. So that we too understand how hard it is sometimes to tell the difference between different kinds of prophets.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Why only two years from now<\/em>? Hananiah prophecies that the yoke of Babylonia will be broken in two years time. Perhaps this number is based on the estimate that if there is a regional rebellion (the planning of which was the subject of the regional summit conference that occurred in the last chapter), it could take about two years to bear fruit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Doubly symbolic act<\/em>. In the previous chapter Jeremiah was commanded to prepare a yoke, and put it around his neck. In verse 10, it becomes evident that the yoke is (still) on his neck. Hananiah breaks it to make his point: that the yoke shall be broken, very soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Problematic criterion<\/em>. Verse 8-9 explain how to tell the difference between true and false prophets. Is it clear now?<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Where\u2019s the audience<\/em>? In the public exhortation where Hananiah prophecies and Jeremiah doesn\u2019t know whether it is ultimately a true or false prophecy, there are many onlookers. But they are not with Jeremiah, neither when he receives the true prophecy, nor when he goes to reprove Hananiah. Who will know that he was a false prophet? Who among them will know why he died?<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Imagining the unsaid<\/em>. The chapter focuses on the external, visual details. The reader needs to use their imagination to fill in the empty spaces regarding the internal drama. What is Jeremiah feeling in his confrontation with Hananiah: uncertainty? hope? frustration? And what does he feel when the \u201ctrue\u201d prophecy then arrives a moment too late?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
