Why is the prophet to place chains and a yoke on his neck?
Which of the attributes of Divinity is stressed in the messages that are to be sent to the nearby rulers?
And, what is to become of these lands?
Is the rule of the Nebuchadnezzar to be of short duration?
Jeremiah 27:9 indicates that predictions forthcoming from the “prophetic sources” in these lands would be of what value?
Would Jeremiah 27:11 indicate a positive posture towards Bavel?
Is the advice, then, that the Judean rulers should accept Babylonian hegemony?
Were the “false prophets” (Jeremiah 27:14) calling for rebellion against Babylonian authority?
Will the rebellion succeed, in the opinion of Jeremiah?
And, is there to be a speedy rebuilding of Judea under any circumstances, according to the message in this chapter?
What is the destiny for the remaining (few) articles of worship in the Temple? And what is the symbolism related to this prediction?
