Jeremiah 28 is a chapter in the Book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament of the Bible. In this chapter, a confrontation takes place between the prophet Jeremiah and a false prophet named Hananiah.
Hananiah boldly declares that within two years, the Lord will break the yoke of Babylonian oppression and bring back the exiled vessels of the Lord’s house. However, Jeremiah challenges Hananiah’s message, emphasizing the importance of accurately discerning the word of the Lord. He explains that true prophets are often called to deliver messages of judgment and not just favorable prophecies.
