Jeremiah ch.26 - Jeremiah on Trial

The Tanakh Podcast - A podcast by Alex Israel

Jeremiah delivers his prophecy at the Temple and is almost issued a death sentence. He is saved by the officials and the common people who believe that he is delivering an authentic Godly message. We discuss one of these people in particular - Ahikam ben Shafan - and also the idea, expressed powerfully here, that society cannot execute the mouthpiece of unpopular ideas.
