the seventh month1 parallel

The prophecy was delivered in the fifth month

  • Jeremiah 29:1 and Hananiah died in the seventh month; exactly two months after he had delivered his false prophecy , which he declared , in the name of God , would be fulfilled in two years. Here then the true prophet was demonstrated , and the false prophet detected. The death of Hananiah , thus predicted , was God's seal to the words of His prophet , and must have gained his other predictions great credit among the people; though it is evident that it did not induce them to forsake their sins and return to the God of Israel
