Jeremiah Chapter 2 (Bible Study)

Jeremiah’s Call and Judah's Rejection of God and Idolatry.
Jeremiah 2:1–19 highlights God's twofold condemnation of Judah for forsaking Him and turning to idolatry. Jeremiah, a young prophet called by God during King Josiah's reign, delivers messages urging the people to remember their early devotion to God and condemning their spiritual and moral decline. Despite Josiah's reforms, the nation had rejected God, polluted the land, and embraced false gods. God pleads with them to return, emphasizing that their backsliding and idolatry will bring correction. The passage underscores the necessity of knowing God's Word for true revival and warns against creating gods that suit human desires.
