Jeremiah
Jeremiah delivers a powerful message of warning and weeping. Known as the “weeping prophet,” he foretold the fall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile, urging Judah to repent. The book weaves prophecy, personal anguish, and divine judgment with promises of a new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31), foreshadowing the gospel.
Author: Jeremiah – Prophet and Priest
Jeremiah, a priest from Anathoth, was called to be a prophet as a youth (Jeremiah 1:5–6). His prophetic ministry spanned over 40 years through the reigns of Judah's last kings. His scribe, Baruch, likely assisted in writing and compiling the scrolls. Jeremiah’s deep emotional expressions and theological themes reveal a prophet intimately acquainted with God’s heart.
Time Period:
Biblical: Written circa 626–580 BC during the final days of Judah
Scholarly: Largely agreed to be compiled during and shortly after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC
