Jeremiah 26:6 - Additional Comments

Since their sin was as grievous as the sins of Shiloh, shouldn't they expect a similar fate? They did not (vs 9).
Note that those that will not be subject to the commands of God make themselves subject to the curse of God.
Regarding Shiloh:
- Shiloh, a place of rest, a city of Ephraim, "on the north side of Bethel," from which it is 10 miles (Judg 21:19); the modern Seilun (the Arabic for Shiloh), a "mass of shapeless ruins."
- Here the tabernacle was set up after the Conquest (Josh 18:1-10), where it remained during all the period of the judges till the ark fell into the hands of the Philistines. "No spot in Central Palestine could be more secluded than this early sanctuary, nothing more featureless than the landscape around; so featureless, indeed, the landscape and so secluded the spot that from the time of St. Jerome till its re-discovery by Dr. Robinson in 1838 the very site was forgotten and unknown." It is referred to by Jeremiah (7:12, 14; 26:4-9) five hundred years after its destruction.
This city (Jerusalem) will become a curse to all the nations of the earth - Jerusalem is symbolic of Israel, as the White House is of the U.S. Israel is a point or symbol of turmoil for much of the world today.
