In this extended exposition of Jeremiah 16, Jacob Prasch interprets the prophet’s warnings as both an immediate judgment on Judah and a far-reaching foreshadowing of the last days, closely linking the chapter to Jesus’ Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation. Prasch explains why God commands Jeremiah not to marry, mourn, or celebrate—signs that divine compassion has been withdrawn from a society that has crossed a moral point of no return. He traces recurring biblical patterns of famine, judgment, false prophecy, and idolatry from the Babylonian captivity to 70 AD, and ultimately to the rise of Babylon the Great, emphasizing that understanding prophecy requires understanding history. Addressing modern apostasy, false religion, moral collapse, and the abandonment of biblical truth, he contrasts counterfeit “words” from false prophets with the true Word of God. Yet amid judgment, Prasch highlights God’s enduring covenant promises to Israel, the future regathering of the Jewish people, and the certainty that the nations will one day recognize the futility of their idols. The teaching closes with a sober reminder: when God makes Himself known in judgment, every false system will be exposed, and all will know that Yahweh alone is Lord.
