Answer 2

The Book of Jeremiah combines history, biography, and prophecy. It portrays a nation in crisis and introduces the reader to an extraordinary leader upon whom the Lord placed the heavy burden of the prophetic office. Jeremiah was born about 650 B.C. of a priestly family from the little village of Anathoth, near Jerusalem. While still very young he was called to his task in the thirteenth year of King Josiah (628), whose reform, begun with enthusiasm and hope, ended with his death on the battlefield of Megiddo (609) as he attempted to stop the northward march of the Egyptian Pharaoh Neco. The prophet heartily supported the reform of the pious King Josiah, which began in 629 B.C. Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, fell in 612, preparing the way for the new colossus, Babylon, which was soon to put an end to Judean independence. After the death of Josiah the old idolatry returned. Jeremiah opposed it with all his strength. Arrest, imprisonment, and public disgrace were his lot. Jeremiah saw in the nation's impenitence the sealing of its doom. Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem and carried King Jehoiachin into exile (Jeremiah 22:24).

During the years 598-587, Jeremiah attempted to counsel Zedekiah in the face of bitter opposition. The false prophet Hananiah proclaimed that the yoke of Babylon was broken and a strong pro-Egyptian party in Jerusalem induced Zedekiah to revolt. Nebuchadnezzar took swift and terrible vengeance; Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 and its leading citizens sent into exile. About this time Jeremiah uttered the great oracle of the "New Covenant" (Jeremiah 31:31-34) sometimes called "The Gospel before the Gospel." This passage contains his most sublime teaching and is a landmark in Old Testament theology. The prophet remained amidst the ruins of Jerusalem, but was later forced into Egyptian exile by a band of conspirators. There, according to an old tradition, he was murdered by his own countrymen. The influence of Jeremiah was greater after his death than before. The exiled community read and meditated on the lessons of the prophet, and his influence can be seen in Ezekiel, certain of the psalms, and the second part of Isaiah. Shortly after the exile, the Book of Jeremiah as we have it today was published in a final edition.
Prophet Jeremiah is one of the major prophets in the old testament . He is known as weeping prophet and lived when the kingdom of Judah existed.

Answer 3

Judah was dying spiritually, and Jeremiah was sent to plead with the people to stop sinning and return to God. Because they wouldn't listen, they were sent as captives to Babylon. God, however, remained faithful to his covenant by keeping some of them alive and later bringing them back to Jerusalem. He wrote this in 626 BC.

Answer:

It's little understood in the world of God's plan of Salvation and the restoration of the Kingdom of God to the earth [that Satan destroyed and perverted, anciently]... that Jesus Christ's future throne on earth is THE THRONE OF DAVID, which was seated in Jerusalem.

"He shall be Great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: and He shall reign over the House of Jacob for ever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end." (Luke 1:32-33)

So, when the time was right... God called Jeremiah for a series of missions, which entailed the REMOVAL of Jewish royalty [the throne of David] from Jerusalem... and the PRESERVATION of a line of David's heirs, elsewhere in the world, for Christ to inherit at the time of the end.

This is what the book of Jeremiah is about: the initiation of that phase of God's plan.

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations..." (Jer.1:5).

Not an "ordained prophet" unto the "Jews" -- but to the "nations of the world."

"See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to ROOT OUT, and to PULL DOWN, and to DESTROY, and to THROW DOWN, to BUILD, and to PLANT." (verse 10)

The book of Jeremiah is about the BEGINNING PHASES of the transfer of David's throne elsewhere in the world: the "rooting out, pulling down, destruction and throwing down" of the "kingdom" of Judah in Jerusalem, ONLY! The apparent END of David's descendants... and a viable throne for Christ to inherit in the world.

"...of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah... Evilmerodach king of Babylon... lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison... and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon, and changed his prison garments and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life. And... there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life." (Jer.52:31-34)

The book of Jeremiah stops, suddenly, amid a story of deception and intrigue, with only the "first half" of Jeremiah's stated commission completed: the tearing down of Jerusalem, the Temple and the throne of David. And he disappears into history with 'THE KING'S DAUGHTERS' to the utter ignorance of the world regarding the fact that Jeremiah had any commission at all -- to BUILD and PLANT David's throne somewhere else in the world.

"...Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, EVEN THE KING'S DAUGHTERS..." (Jer.41:10).

"...even men, and women, and children, and THE KING'S DAUGHTERS, and every person... Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah [Jeremiah's scribe - Jer.36:4]." (Jer.43:6)

((The book of Jeremiah is about God taking care of this phase of His plan... the preservation of the throne of David in the world for Christ to inherit, when the time comes at the end of the age. It's the LAST VIEW of the throne of David the world sees in Jerusalem and the Promised Land before God removes it from Jerusalem and replants it and preserves it elsewhere on earth for Christ to claim later.))

It's God's final plea to David's royal descendants to "repent" of their wicked rule and practices... and to return to Him.

"...Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne... with drunkenness. And I will dash them one against another... I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but DESTROY them." (Jer.13:13-14)

"O House of David [the Jewish kings and leaders of God's people], thus saith the Lord; Execute Judgment in the morning... lest My fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of your evil doings. Behold, I AM against thee..." (Jer.21:12-13).

"...Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this Word... Hear the Word of the Lord, O king of Judah, that SITTEST UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID, thou, and thy servants... EXECUTE YE JUDGEMENT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and DO NO WRONG, do no violence to the stranger [Gentiles], the fatherless, nor the widow... But if ye will not hear these Words, I swear by Myself, saith the Lord, that THIS HOUSE SHALL BECOME A DESOLATION." (Jer.22:1-5)

Jehoiachin, king of Judah [mentioned above] was also called "Coniah" was one of David's royal descendants who refused to heed God's Word and warning. As revealed above... he would later die, childless, in Babylonian captivity.

"Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? ...O earth, earth, earth, hear the Word of the Lord... Write ye this man CHILDLESS [without heirs for the continuation of David's throne], a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, SITTING UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID, and RULING ANY MORE IN JUDAH." (Jer.22:28-30)

And never since Jeremiah disappeared in the world with "the king's daughters," has the throne of David ruled in Jerusalem.

Jeremiah's commission was to preserve David's heritage [and Christ's future throne] by replanting it someplace else.

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a Righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute Judgment and Justice in the earth. In His days Judah [the Jews] shall be saved, and Israel [the lost ten tribes of Israel that disappeared in the world some 130 years before Jeremiah was born and the Jews went into Babylonian captivity] shall dwell safely: and this is His name whereby He shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." (Jer.23:5-6)

"For thus saith the Lord; DAVID SHALL NEVER WANT A MAN TO SIT UPON THE THRONE OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL..." (Jer.33:17).

Amid the apparent dissolution and END of David's throne in the world in the book of Jeremiah... God promises its continuation... NOT IN JUDAH or JERUSALEM... but in ISRAEL. Wherever the ten tribes had been scattered and eventually resettled more that a century before.

This is where Jeremiah disappeared to when his book ends. Wherever the House of Israel ended up in the world. This is where Jeremiah and the "kings' daughters" went to complete the job God had for him to do "before he came out of the womb."

This is what the book of Jeremiah is about: the preservation of David's throne for the coming Messiah to inherit in His time. THAT THRONE HAS TO EXIST SOMEWHERE ON EARTH for Christ to inherit it.

"If you can break My covenant with the day and with the night so that the day and night don't come on their usual schedule, only then will My covenant with David, My servant, be broken so that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne..." (Jer.33:20 LVB).

God's Sovereignty, Truth, Honor, Righteousness... and the future inheritance of Jesus Christ are at stake in the ongoing fulfillment of this "Davidic Covenant."

"Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn an oath to him, that the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, HE WOULD RAISE UP CHRIST TO SIT ON HIS THRONE..." (Acts 2:29-30).

The book of Jeremiah is about God's preservation of that throne.
