Key Verses:

핵심 구절:
예레미야 1:5, "내가 너를 모태에 짓기 전에 너를 알았고 네가 태어나기 전에 너를 구별하여 열방의 선지자로 세웠노라."

For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”

예레미야 29:10-11, "주님께서 이렇게 말씀하십니다. '바빌론의 70년이 끝나면 내가 너희에게 와서 너희를 이곳으로 돌아오게 하겠다는 나의 은혜로운 약속을 이루겠다. 내가 너희를 향한 나의 계획을 알고 있기 때문이다." 주님은 '너희를 번영시키고 너희를 해치지 않으려는 계획, 너희에게 희망과 미래를 주려는 계획'이라고 선언하십니다."

Brief Summary: The Book of Jeremiah is primarily a message of judgment on Judah for rampant idolatry (Jeremiah 7:30-34; 16:10-13; 22:9; 32:29; 44:2-3). After the death of King Josiah, the last righteous king, the nation of Judah had almost completely abandoned God and His commandments. Jeremiah compares Judah to a prostitute (Jeremiah 2:20; 3:1-3). God had promised that He would judge idolatry most severely (Leviticus 26:31-33; Deuteronomy 28:49-68), and Jeremiah was warning Judah that God’s judgment was at hand. God had delivered Judah from destruction on countless occasions, but His mercy was at its end. Jeremiah records King Nebuchadnezzar conquering Judah and making it subject to him (Jeremiah 24:1). After further rebellion, God brought Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian armies back to destroy and desolate Judah and Jerusalem (Jeremiah chapter 52). Even in this most severe judgment, God promises the restoration of Judah back into the land God has given them (Jeremiah 29:10).
요약: 예레미야서는 주로 우상 숭배가 만연한 유다에 대한 심판의 메시지입니다(예레미야 7:30-34, 16:10-13, 22:9, 32:29, 44:2-3). 마지막 의로운 왕 요시야 왕이 죽은 후 유다 나라는 하나님과 그분의 계명을 거의 완전히 버렸습니다. 예레미야는 유다를 창녀에 비유합니다(렘 2:20, 3:1-3). 하나님께서는 우상 숭배를 가장 엄중하게 심판하실 것이라고 약속하셨고(레위기 26:31-33, 신명기 28:49-68), 예레미야는 하나님의 심판이 임박했음을 유다에 경고하고 있었습니다. 하나님께서는 수없이 많은 경우에 유다를 멸망에서 구해 주셨지만 그 자비는 이제 끝났습니다. 예레미야는 느부갓네살 왕이 유다를 정복하고 유다를 복속시켰다고 기록합니다(예레미야 24:1). 반역이 계속되자 하나님께서는 느부갓네살과 바벨론 군대를 다시 불러들여 유다와 예루살렘을 멸망시키고 황폐하게 하셨습니다(예레미야 52장). 이 가장 가혹한 심판 속에서도 하나님은 유다가 하나님이 주신 땅으로 다시 회복될 것을 약속하십니다(예레미야 29:10).

Foreshadowings: Jeremiah 23:5-6 presents a prophecy of the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. The prophet describes Him as a Branch from the house of David (v. 5; Matthew 1), the King who would reign in wisdom and righteousness (v. 5, Revelation 11:15). It is Christ who will finally be recognized by Israel as her true Messiah as He provides salvation for His chosen ones (v. 6; Romans 11:26).
예표: 예레미야 23:5-6은 오실 메시아, 예수 그리스도에 대한 예언을 제시합니다. 선지자는 그분을 다윗 가문의 한 가지(5절, 마태복음 1장), 지혜와 의로 통치하실 왕(5절, 요한계시록 11:15)으로 묘사합니다. 마침내 이스라엘이 진정한 메시아로 인정받게 될 그리스도는 그분이 택한 자들에게 구원을 베푸시는 분입니다(6절, 로마서 11:26).

Practical Application: The Prophet Jeremiah had a most difficult message to deliver. Jeremiah loved Judah, but he loved God much more. As painful as it was for Jeremiah to deliver a consistent message of judgment to his own people, Jeremiah was obedient to what God told him to do and say. Jeremiah hoped and prayed for mercy from God for Judah, but also trusted that God was good, just, and righteous. We too must obey God, even when it is difficult, recognize God’s will as more important than our own desires, and trust that God, in His infinite wisdom and perfect plan, will bring about the best for His children (Romans 8:28).
실제 적용: 예레미야 선지자는 가장 어려운 메시지를 전해야 했습니다. 예레미야는 유다를 사랑했지만 하나님을 훨씬 더 사랑했습니다. 예레미야는 동족에게 일관된 심판의 메시지를 전하는 것이 고통스러웠지만, 하나님께서 그에게 하라는 말과 행동에 순종했습니다. 예레미야는 유다에 대한 하나님의 자비를 바라고 기도했지만, 동시에 하나님은 선하시고 공의로우시며 의로우시다는 것을 믿었습니다. 우리도 어려울 때에도 하나님께 순종하고, 자신의 욕망보다 하나님의 뜻을 더 중요하게 여기며, 하나님의 무한한 지혜와 완벽한 계획으로 자녀에게 최선의 결과를 가져다주실 것을 신뢰해야 합니다(로마서 8:28).

성경 요약
예레미야 요약
by 제이 스미스


The book of Jeremiah is Prophetic Oracle and Narrative History, although not completely in chronological order. The prophet Jeremiah wrote it sometime during his ministry about 626-586 B.C. Key personalities are the many kings Judah, Baruch, Ebdemelech, King Nebuchadnezzar, and the Rechabites.
예레미야서는 완전한 연대순은 아니지만 예언서이자  이야기체  역사서입니다. 예레미야 선지자는 기원전 626~586년경 사역 중 이 책을 썼습니다. 주요 인물로는 유다, 바룩, 에드멜렉, 느부갓네살 왕, 레갑 족속 등 여러 왕이 등장합니다.


Its purpose was to warn of the destruction that they were about to face and to urge Judah to return and submit to God. Jeremiah was a priest who God calls to be His prophet. Jeremiah identifies their sins and treachery, as he wants them to realize the serious condition of their sinful ways. He then gives prophecies of the coming king and the New Covenant that would be made.
그 목적은 곧 닥칠 멸망에 대해 경고하고 유다가 하나님께 돌아와 복종하도록 촉구하는 것이었습니다. 예레미야는 하나님께서 선지자로 부르신 제사장입니다. 예레미야는 그들의 죄와 배반을 지적하며 그들이 죄악된 길의 심각한 상태를 깨닫기를 원합니다. 그런 다음 장차 오실 왕과 맺게 될 새 언약에 대한 예언을 전합니다.


•    In chapters 1-10, God calls Jeremiah and proclaims, “I have put My words in your mouth” (1:9). Jeremiah condemns Judah for their sins and attacks their faithlessness, obviously angry over their blatant sin.
- 1-10장에서 하나님은 예레미야를 부르시고 "내가 내 말을 네 입에 넣었다"(1:9)고 선포하십니다. 예레미야는 유다의 노골적인 죄에 분노하여 그들의 죄를 정죄하고 그들의 불신앙을 공격합니다.


•    Chapters 11-28, Jeremiah warned of the destruction that would be poured out on Judah. He writes about God’s hard dispense of holy anger. At one point God says, “I will not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster” (12:14). A lot of the wickedness that angered God was the constant worship of false idols and gods, and the sacrifices they were burning to them.
- 11-28장, 예레미야는 유다에 부어질 멸망에 대해 경고합니다. 그는 하나님의 거룩한 진노를 가차없이 베푸시는 것에 대해 기록합니다. 어느 순간 하나님은 "그들이 재앙 때문에 내게 부르짖어도 내가 듣지 않겠다"(12:14)고 말씀하십니다. 하나님을 분노케 한 많은 악은 거짓 우상과 신들을 끊임없이 숭배하고 그들에게 불사르는 제사였습니다.


•    From chapters 29-38, Jeremiah writes about the New Covenant and the hope that God would bring when He delivers them after the captivity. King Zedekiah who did not heed his warning throws Jeremiah into prison and then into a cistern. Nevertheless, Jeremiah warned that the King would fall into the hands of the King of Babylon.
- 29-38장에서 예레미야는 새 언약과 하나님께서 포로 생활 후 그들을 구원하실 때 가져올 희망에 대해 기록합니다. 예레미야의 경고에 귀를 기울이지 않은 시드기야 왕은 예레미야를 감옥에 집어넣은 다음 물통에 던져 넣습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 예레미야는 왕이 바벨론 왕의 손에 넘어갈 것이라고 경고합니다.


•    Chapters 39-52, Jeremiah records the events of the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. As many prophets had announced in the past, the Empire of Babylon indeed laid siege to Jerusalem and the land of Judah. This completes the exile of both kingdoms, the Northern Kingdom in 722 B.C. and now the Southern Kingdom in 586 B.C. As Jeremiah had declared in 37:17, King Zedekiah was captured and his son murdered in his presence, he was blinded, bound and dragged off to Babylon in captivity.
- 예레미야 39-52장은 기원전 586년 예루살렘이 함락된 사건을 기록합니다. 과거에 많은 선지자들이 예언했던 대로 바벨론 제국은 실제로 예루살렘과 유다 땅을 포위했습니다. 이로써 주전 722년 북왕국과 주전 586년 남왕국, 두 왕국의 유배가 완료되었습니다. 예레미야가 37장 17절에서 선포한 대로 시드기야 왕은 포로로 잡혀 그 앞에서 아들이 살해당하고 눈이 멀고 결박되어 바벨론으로 포로로 끌려가게 됩니다.


•    In chapter 50, God promises to rescue His nation from captivity. In verse 17-18 God declares, “Israel is a scattered flock, the lions have driven them away. The first one who devoured him was the king of Assyria, and the last one who has broken his bones is Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am going to punish the king of Babylon and his land, just as I punished the king of Assyria.” The capital of Assyria was destroyed so severely it was not discovered until the 19th century A.D.
- 50장에서 하나님은 자신의 나라를 포로에서 구출해 주시겠다고 약속하십니다. 17-18절에서 하나님은 "이스라엘은 흩어진 무리이며 사자가 그들을 쫓아냈다"고 선언합니다. 그리고 그를 삼킨 첫 번째 사람은 앗수르 왕이었고, 그의 뼈를 부러뜨린 마지막 사람은 바빌론의 느부갓네살 왕입니다. 그러므로 이스라엘의 하나님, 만군의 여호와께서 이렇게 말씀하십니다: 보라, 내가 앗수르 왕을 벌한 것 같이 바벨론 왕과 그 땅을 벌하리라." 앗수르의 수도는 서기 19세기가 되어서야 발견될 정도로 심하게 파괴되었습니다.
