Message: No matter what, God is in control and He will show people He is in charge. In Egypt, he will clean house of all the idols they have.
Time: The Jews are leaving Judah and going to Egypt.
What the Lord is Saying: After all was said and done and Jeremiah finished speaking, Johanan and his friends accused Jeremiah of lying. They didn't obey the Lord and remain in the land of Judah. Instead, they went to Egypt, arriving at Tahpanhes.
The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes. And the Lord shows them what will happen. In front of the people of Judah, place large rocks under the stones at the entrance of Pharaoh's palace.
Problem/Promise: Nebuchadnezzar's throne will be set over these hidden stones. He will come and destroy the land of Egypt. He will set fire to the temple's gods, burn the temples and carry the idols away. He will clean the land of Egypt and then leave unharmed. Egypt's gods will be brought down. God uses men to carry out his judgment.
