    God's word was written down by Baruch at Jeremiah's instruction and read to the people. When King Jehoiakim heard it, he tried to burn the scroll. However, God instructed Jeremiah to rewrite the scroll with additional words of judgment. This showed that God would preserve his word even if men tried to destroy it. The king's attempt to destroy the word of God demonstrated the danger of rejecting divine instruction rather than humbly obeying it.

    Introduction
    Thruout biblical history, th Word of God has com under various forms of attack including
    Gen 3 – Satan casting doubt on what God said – indeed has God said?
    1Sam15:9,20 – Saul disobeying and denying
    Mt 15:6 – Scribes and Pharisees invalidating by working around with traditions
    2Co2:17 – charlatans and false teachers peddling to make money off of
    2Co4:2 – deceitful handling by self promoters
    Rv22:18-19 – adding to or taking from
    Modern era
    Liberal Scholars and critics who cut up and splice together
    The Jesus Movement –vote on words of JS, none in John, only 16 genuine
    Liberals – Bart Ehrman who don’t believe, put other literature = w Scrip
    Inerrancy debate
    Insufficiency – the Bible does not give us enough, need prophet [Charismatics]
    Cults – own translations w biases like Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons other scrip
    Bible translations accommodating to culture – gender neutral language of TNIV
    Today look at Jeremiah 36 and the attack to burn and destroy the Word of God
    Context
    Jeremiah began ministry ~626BC during reign of King Josiah, reforms, good
    Josiah succeeded by Jehoahaz 609BC, Jehoiakim 609, Jehoiachin597, Zedekiah 597-587
    Book of Jeremiah is chronological towards the beginning but then becomes more topical
    251 4th yr Jehoiakim i.e. 605BC 341 10th yr Zedekiah
    26 &27 beginning reign of Jehoiakim
    1 1
    351 days of Jehoiakim
    281 begin reign Zedekiah 361 4th yr of Jehoiakim
    29 after Jeconiah taken captive
    2
    371 Zedekiah [begin?] reigned
    321 10th yr Zedekiah
    So for e.g. we saw 2wks ago 34&35 linked 2show diff obedience, but 10 yrs apart
    Note bk in 26, begin of reign of Jehoiakim, Jer spoke all against v9, not put to death 24
    It seems that the 4thyr of th reign of Jehoiakim was particularly noteworthy 251361451 462

    Lessons 4US
    1. Response 2hearing the word of God is not genetic. Each gneration must choose 2rspnd
    2. ‘Killing th messngr’ is not th right choice whn U don’t lik th Word of God, hear& obey
    3. The Lord gives a last opportunity to respond [3,7], don’t put off U don’t know if last
    4. opportunities to hear may be months or years before someone actually hears. Hearing
    not equal responding, must still respond appropriately when U hear Ro 10, Ac9
    5. One means of writing the Scripture is direct dictation 17-18, 2Ti3:16, 2Pt1:20-21
    6. A bad response 2hearing th Word of God is 2deny it, delay, ignore, avoid, get around it
    7. God sees to it tht His word is preservd i.e. we still hv Jer&others tho som tried 2 dstry
    8. Whn ldrs who do nt blv hear wht they do not want 2hear they can do mch harm, Herod
    9. Our part is not to question why God says what He says, but rather to hear, repent, obey
    10. ppl today still reject God’s word, tho they may not burn it
    The Word became flesh and dwelt among us – the incarnate word of God John 1:14
