Jeremiah 36:32 shows how the prophet Jeremiah refused to let God’s message be permanently erased through the destructive whims of King Jehoiakim, who had burned the original scroll:
Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the son of Neriah, the scribe, and he wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them (v. 32).
Jeremiah’s resolute faith in the LORD’s command prompted him to dictate all the words again, ensuring that the warnings and prophecies intended for Judah remained intact. By preserving the message, Jeremiah affirmed that God’s word would triumph despite human opposition.
Jeremiah 36:32 also highlights the crucial partnership between Jeremiah and his scribe, Baruch the son of Neriah. Baruch was instrumental in recording and preserving the prophecies, serving as Jeremiah’s faithful support. Baruch's role ensured that the content of the scroll was properly documented and ready to be shared again with leaders and people alike. Meanwhile, Jehoiakim king of Judah, who reigned approximately from 609 to 597 BC, chose a path of rejection toward God’s word by destroying the scroll, yet his actions did not prevent the divine directives from continuing forward. Judah, the southern kingdom along the region of ancient Israel, was in a state of turmoil at the time, caught between regional superpowers and facing the looming threat of exile.
In God’s sovereignty, even the fiery destruction of the scroll could not silence His message. Jeremiah’s obedience and Baruch’s meticulous task of transcription call believers to stand firm in proclaiming truth, no matter the opposition. Their example reminds us that human attempts to eliminate God’s counsel will inevitably fail, for the LORD’s purposes endures unwaveringly.
