What Does Jeremiah 36:28 Mean?
God's command is simple and decisive: write again. The message will be re-inscribed, restored, made permanent once more. The destruction of one copy does not erase the original revelation or God's determination to deliver it to His people.
The instruction to record 'all the former words' ensures continuity and completeness. No words are lost, no prophecy is abandoned because of the king's burning. God's communication with His people will not be derailed by human opposition.
