The First of the Great Prophets: A Believer's Guide to the Book of Jeremiah

By John R. Deakins

Jeremiah lived in Jerusalem for the years before its final fall. As the other yes-men priests and prophets sold the king on the city's peaceful future, Jeremiah preached repentance. Judah had fallen into a hideous idolatry and apostasy, never seen before or since. He repeatedly forecast the city's violent end. He prophesied Jerusalem's redemption, if they'd surrender to the will of Nebuchadnezzar, God's servant. He prophesied the return of a purified people from Babylon, seventy years after their exile. He was forced into exile himself in Egypt by an unfaithful Jewish remnant, after the city's fall. Jeremiah is thought to have assembled much of II Samuel, I Kings, II Kings, Lamentations, and his own book. His is the longest prophetical book in the Old Testament.
