"The army of the king of Babylon was then besieging Jerusalem, (...) 'The word of the LORD came to me: Hanamel son of Shallum your uncle is going to come to you and say, 'Buy my field at Anathoth, because as nearest relative it is your right and duty to buy it". Jeremiah 32
What a so strange command! The land was surrounded by the enemy... the price of the land has no value anymore... everybody will lose the right of their properties... And God says to Jeremias to buy a field?
Jeremias, an obedient servant, bought it! Afterwards he asked theLord for explanations about it.
The God's answer was that the nation would be restored again! So the land would come to the hands of His people. "Once more fields will be bought in this land"(v.43)
The obedience of Jeremias was a testimony that God loved His people and would give them, again, the right of the land. But it happened again more than 70 years after that purchase!
The principles of the Sacred Scriptures are to be obeyed, not questioned. Even if we don't understand, we should give to God all of our obedience.
Read all the chapter 32 of Jeremias and find the marvelous answer of God to the prophet.
Be blessed!
