[[Jer-26]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Jer-25]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Jer-27]] --- ### then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jeremiah predicts that if the people of Judah do not repent and obey God's law, the Temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed like the sanctuary at Shiloh, and the city will become a symbol of a curse among all nations. *Historical context*: Shiloh was the first long-term home of the Tabernacle and was destroyed, likely by the Philistines, around 1050 BCE. Jeremiah's prophecy regarding the Temple was fulfilled in 586 BCE when the Babylonian army under Nebuchadnezzar II destroyed Jerusalem and the First Temple. A secondary fulfillment is noted in 70 CE with the Roman destruction of the Second Temple. *Related to*: ### Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, 'Yahweh of Armies says: "'Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest."' *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A citation of a prophecy by Micah ([[Micah-03#v12|Micah 3:12]]) predicting the total physical desolation of Zion and the Temple Mount, describing them as becoming overgrown and reduced to ruins. *Historical context*: While this prophecy was initially given during the reign of Hezekiah (c. 715–686 BCE), historians and theologians note its literal fulfillment during the Babylonian conquest of 586 BCE. Furthermore, Jewish tradition and historical accounts like those of Josephus record that the Roman commander Terentius Rufus literally plowed the Temple Mount after the destruction of the city in 70 CE and 135 CE. *Related to*: ### Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Didn't he fear Yahweh, and entreat the favor of Yahweh, and Yahweh relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The elders of Judah recount how King Hezekiah's repentance led God to relent from the immediate fulfillment of Micah's prophecy of destruction. *Historical context*: Historical and biblical records ([[2 Kings|2 Kings 18]]–19) describe how the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem in 701 BCE by Sennacherib was miraculously lifted following Hezekiah's prayer and repentance, effectively delaying the destruction Micah had foretold. *Related to*: [[Micah-03#v12|Micah 3:12]] ([[Jer-26#v18|Jeremiah 26:18]]) ### There was also a man who prophesied in Yahweh's name, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Uriah predicted the destruction of Jerusalem and the land of Judah, echoing the same warnings given by Jeremiah. *Historical context*: Uriah's prophecy was fulfilled alongside Jeremiah's when the Babylonian Empire conquered Judah, destroyed Jerusalem, and exiled its inhabitants in 586 BCE. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
