Jeremiah 27:22
French (La Bible expliquée)
“Tous ces objets seront emmenés à Babylone, et ils y resteront jusqu'au jour où j'interviendrai pour les ramener ici même.” » Voilà ce que le Seigneur a déclaré. Lors de la première déportation, en 597 avant J.-C., les Babyloniens avaient emporté des ustensiles du temple et autres objets précieux. Les Judéens, qui accordaient une valeur quasi magique au temple et aux objets du culte, croyaient que le Seigneur interviendrait bientôt en leur faveur. Des faux prophètes les confirmaient dans cette impression. Malgré les revers subis par Jérusalem, les déportés rentreraient bientôt au pays après avoir récupéré leurs biens. Mais la réalité sera tout autre. Dieu n'est pas une idole dont le bien-être dépend d'un temple ou d'objets sacrés. Il exige justice et compassion. Sinon, son jugement suivra son cours. Oubliez les amulettes, les fétiches et les porte-bonheur!
