In the temple, Hananiah announced that within two years, the Lord would break Nebuchadnezzar's control over Judah and bring back all the people and sacred objects that had been taken to Babylon. However, the Lord told Jeremiah that Hananiah was lying. Jeremiah then told Hananiah he would die for spreading false messages, and Hananiah died two months later (Jeremiah 28).
