Context — Hananiah’s False Prophecy
1In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:
2“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and carried to Babylon.
4And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’” 5Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD.Cross References

Yes, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem: ‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’” |

Jeremiah 28:3 Summary
[Jeremiah 28:3 is a promise from God that He will restore the items taken from the temple by Nebuchadnezzar within two years, showing His power and control over all events, as also seen in Daniel 2:20-23. This verse gives us hope that God can restore what has been lost or broken in our lives, just as He promised to restore Jerusalem, as mentioned in Jeremiah 31:38-40. We can trust in God's timing and plans, even when things seem uncertain, because He is a God of restoration and redemption, as seen in Isaiah 61:1-4.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the two-year time frame mentioned in Jeremiah 28:3?
The two-year time frame signifies a specific period during which God promises to restore the articles of the house of the LORD, emphasizing His control over the timeline of events, as seen in Jeremiah 28:3 and supported by Jeremiah 29:10, which mentions a seventy-year period of exile.
Why did Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon remove the articles from the house of the LORD?
Nebuchadnezzar removed the articles as part of his conquest and plundering of Jerusalem, as described in 2 Kings 24:13, to assert his dominance and weaken the Israelites' faith in their God.
Is Jeremiah 28:3 a promise of immediate deliverance for the Israelites?
While Jeremiah 28:3 does speak of restoration, it is essential to understand it within the broader context of Jeremiah's prophecies, which often included both near and far fulfillments, similar to the promises in Isaiah 40:1-2, which speak of comfort and redemption.
How does this verse relate to the overall message of the book of Jeremiah?
Jeremiah 28:3 fits into the book's theme of judgment and restoration, as Jeremiah consistently called the people to repentance and faith in God's ultimate redemption, as seen in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which describes a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
Reflection Questions
- What does this promise of restoration reveal about God's character, and how can I apply this understanding to my own life?
- In what ways can I, like the Israelites, find hope in God's promise to restore what has been lost or taken away, as mentioned in Joel 2:25?
- How does the specificity of the two-year time frame impact my trust in God's timing and plans, as discussed in Psalm 31:15?
- What role does faith play in waiting for God's restoration, and how can I cultivate faith in the face of uncertainty, as encouraged in Hebrews 11:1?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 28:3
Within two full years,.... Or, "within two years of days" (o); when they are up to a day.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 28:3
Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon: Within two
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 28:3
It appeareth by what we met with , that this was the constant song of the city prophets at that time, but we read not of any but this Hananiah, who was so confident as to limit a time; nor doth he mention any long time, he saith within two full years; but he spake falsely, for it appeareth, from , that Jeconiah was there thirty-seven years.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 28:3
Jeremiah 28:3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’ S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:Ver. 3. Within two full years.] Jeremiah had said seventy; Hananiah, a man of prime authority, some say high priest, within two years. This was some trial to good Jeremiah to be thus confronted. Jeremiah’ s discourse was so much the more distasted, because he not only contradicted Hananiah and his complices, but also persuaded Zedekiah to submit to the King of Babylon, and afterwards to yield up the city; whereas the prophet Isaiah, not long before, had dissuaded Hezekiah from so doing.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 28:3
(3) Within two full years.—Literally, two years of days. Hananiah, not deterred by the previous warnings of Jeremiah, becomes bolder in the definiteness of his prediction. The conspiracy of Judah and the neighbouring states against Nebuchadnezzar was clearly ripening, and he looked on its success as certain. Prediction stood against prediction, and, as there were no signs or wonders wrought, men had to judge from what they knew of the lives of the men who uttered them which of them was most worthy of credit. The contest between the two prophets reminds us of Deu 18:20-22.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 28:3
Verse 3. Within two full years] Time sufficient for the Chaldeans to destroy the city, and carry away the rest of the sacred vessels; but he did not live to see the end of this short period.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 28:3
3. that Nebuchadnezzar … carried them to Babylon] LXX omit.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 28:3
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.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 28:3
3. Two… years — Certainly a very agreeable contrast to Jeremiah’s seventy years. The expression used is unusually definite. Literally, two years in days, as though it were not a general period, but one of mathematical exactness.
