Jeremiah (Introduction) (Bible Study)

Jeremiah: The Prophet of a Broken Heart and God's Harsh Message.
The Book of Jeremiah is authored by Jeremiah, a prophet known for his autobiographical style and emotional depth. Born a priest in Anathoth, Jeremiah was called to prophecy young and faced rejection, suffering, and heartbreak as he delivered God's harsh message during Judah's decline. His ministry spanned from King Josiah's reign through the Babylonian captivity, which he predicted would last seventy years. Jeremiah's message focused on the nation's backsliding and the inevitability of surrender to Babylon, marking a shift from earlier calls to resist. Despite his personal anguish, Jeremiah faithfully conveyed God's judgment and hope for the future, embodying a tender yet resolute messenger in a time of national crisis.
