It was 7 years until the first captives would be taken from Judah to Babylon.  Jeremiah gets a revelation that the captivity; it's duration would be 70 years. And of course this is going to happen because the people have refused to listen to the prophets God has sent to them - all of them.  The "time is up". The party is over and God is going to turn Judah into a wasteland. He is actually calling down Babylon to do the dirty work.  And of course, when Babylon is finished with this task, Babylon itself will be overtaken. So they aren't going to be getting any medals from God for their work once they have flattened Judah.</p> <div>Then the chapter goes into a "while we're at it..." tone.  God is putting many nations on trial.  Egypt, Ammonites, the Medes, etc. and more.  The massacre for pagan living and behavior is going to be vast.  This is going to be 'good news' for no one.  The dead bodies will be so numerous that they will be basically reduced to the category of fertilizer.</div> <div>26 -is written for the purpose of reminding us, as we read, about how much danger Jeremiah was in.  He is ordered to go straight into the Temple courtyard and preach a hot streak of rebuke against the priests of the Temple who were altogether derelict in their duty.  Jeremiah was told vehemently to his face that he was going to die for talking the way he was talkin
