The background to Jeremiah is briefly described in the superscription to the book: Jeremiah began his prophetic mission in the thirteenth year of king Josiah (about 627 BC) and finished in the eleventh year of king Zedekiah (586 BC), "when Jerusalem went into exile in the sixth month." Jeremiah 33 1 - Moreover The LORD's word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying, 2 - "The LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it-The LORD is his name, says: 3 - 'Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which … The small and comparatively insignificant state of Judah had been a vassal of Assyria and, when Assyria declined, asserted its independence for a short time. At the same time, God is very much concerned about individual people and their accountability to him. That king was very different from his father, the reforming Josiah, whom Jeremiah commended for doing justice and righteousness. The meaning of his name is uncertain. The prophet’s theology conceived of the Lord as the Creator of all that exists (10:12–16; 51:15–19), as all-powerful (32:27; 48:15; 51:57), as everywhere present (23:24). Jeremiah, detail from a fresco by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican, c. 1512. Jeremiah, a Judaean prophet whose activity spanned four of the most tumultuous decades in his country’s history, appears to have received his call to be a prophet in the 13th year of the reign of King Josiah (627/626 bc) and continued his ministry until after the siege and capture of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 bc. Prophet Jeremiah lived in the 7th century BC and prophesied when Judah was ruled by King Josiah, and later his sons Jehoiakim, and Zedekiah; and king Jehoiachin. Early in Zedekiah’s reign, Jeremiah wrote a letter to the exiles in Babylonia, advising them not to expect to return immediately to their homeland, as false prophets were encouraging them to believe, but to settle peaceably in their place of exile and seek the welfare of their captors. Date of Writing: The Book of Jeremiah was written between 630 and 580 B.C. A general chronological table will help us visualize the historical background of his book. Jehoahaz had ruled for a scant three months (2Ch 36:2), and his reign marks the turning point in the king’s attitude toward Jeremiah. The reign of Jehoiakim was an active and difficult period in Jeremiah’s life. Jehoiakim remained relentlessly hostile toward Jeremiah.

It would then seem that the end had come, that Israel’s stubborn and uncircumcised (unconsecrated) heart had sealed her final destiny, that God’s chosen people had been cast off, that all the ancient promises and covenants had come to nothing. Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem in 605, humiliating Jehoiakim (Da 1:1–2) and carrying off Daniel and his three companions to Babylon (Da 1:3–6). He was acquitted but may have been forbidden to preach again in the Temple. In 621 King Josiah instituted far-reaching reforms based upon a book discovered in the Temple of Jerusalem in the course of building repairs, which was probably Deuteronomy or some part of it. V. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: 27. King Zedekiah summoned him from prison twice for secret interviews, and both times Jeremiah advised him to surrender to Babylonia. Jeremiah … Pashur the son of Melchiah [Pashur in ch 20 was the son of … Others in Judah feared Babylonian reprisal and fled to Egypt, taking Jeremiah and Baruch with them (43:4–7).

Kilimanjaro Taught Me About Pressing On, Condemnation of Kings, Prophets and People (, Sufferings and Persecutions of the Prophet (, The Fall of Jerusalem and Its Aftermath (, Accession and Assassination of Gedaliah (. Symbolic value is also seen in the Lord’s commands to Jeremiah not to marry and raise children (16:1–4), not to enter a house where there is a funeral meal or where there is feasting (16:5–9), and to buy a field in his hometown, Anathoth (32:6–15).

Jeremiah was born and grew up in the village of Anathoth, a few miles northeast of Jerusalem, in a priestly family. Referred to frequently as “Jeremiah the prophet” in the book that bears his name (20:2; 25:2; 28:5,10–12,15; 29:1,29; 32:2; 34:6;36:8,26; 37:2,3,6; 38:9–10,14; 42:2,4; 43:6; 45:1; 46:1,13; 47:1; 49:34; 50:1) and elsewhere (2Ch 36:12; Da 9:2; Mt 2:17; 27:9; see Mt 16:14), Jeremiah was ever conscious of his call from the Lord (1:5; 15:19) to be a prophet. As such, he proclaimed words given him by God himself (19:2) and therefore certain of fulfillment (28:9; 32:24). Jeremiah was born and grew up in the village of Anathoth, a few miles northeast of Jerusalem, in a priestly family. The Book of Jeremiah reflects the ever-worsening situation Jeremiah encountered. After the murder of Gedaliah, Jeremiah was taken off to Egypt by fugitive, remnant Jews who refused to experience Nebuchadnezzar's reprisal Jeremiah lived a few years in Egypt and then died there. Just prior to this episode in Jeremiah’s life, an event of extraordinary importance took place that changed the course of history: In 605 b.c., the Egyptians were crushed at Carchemish on the Euphrates by Nebuchadnezzar (46:2), the gifted general who succeeded his father Nabopolassar as ruler of Babylon that same year. Jeremiah’s poetry is lofty and lyrical. Jeremiah 8 Jeremiah speaks out against false prophets. Biblical References: Jeremiah 1: 1 – 3 Background information on Jeremiah; Jeremiah 1 – 6 God uses Jeremiah to warn his people to turn from idolatry. Suggestions include “The Lord exalts” and “The Lord establishes,” but a more likely proposal is “The Lord throws,” either in the sense of “hurling” the prophet into a hostile world or of “throwing down” the nations in divine judgment for their sins. Egypt had a brief period of resurgence under the 26th dynasty (664–525) but did not prove strong enough to establish an empire. Jeremiah was born in the 7th century BC, in Anathoth, to a Jewish priest (“kohen”) named Hilkiah who lived in the Benjamite village of Anathoth. He was closely involved in the political and religious events of a crucial era in the history of the ancient Near East; his spiritual leadership helped his fellow countrymen survive disasters that included the capture of Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 bce and the exile of many Judaeans to Babylonia. He was arrested on a charge of desertion and placed in prison. Egyptians; … Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article.

After paying Babylonia tribute for nearly 10 years, the king made an alliance with Egypt. Actually, of course, his advice not to rebel against Babylon marked him as a true patriot, a man who loved his own people too much to stand by silently and watch them destroy themselves. Jeremiah 7–20 Jeremiah preaches in various places in Jerusalem, including at the gate of the temple, using various metaphors to plead with the people to amend their ways. What this means is that God has plans for a whole group of people, namely the … Alliteration and assonance were also a part of his literary style, examples being zarim wezeruha(“foreigners . Many of Jeremiah’s prophecies are yet to be fulfilled in the end times. According to the biblical Book of Jeremiah, he began his prophetic career in 627/626—the 13th year of King Josiah’s reign. The forty to fifty years Jeremiah prophesied began during the 13th year of the reign of King Josiah and continued on through the corrupt kings that followed, the eventual fall of Jerusalem, and the exile of God’s people. Josiah’s son Jehoahaz (see NIV text note on 22:11), also knwn as Shallum, is mentioned only briefly in the book of Jeremiah (22:10b–12), and then in an unfavorable way. Ashurbanipal, last of the great Assyrian rulers, died in 627. and ended sometime after 586 (see notes on 1:2–3).

He saw the destruction of Jerusalem and the holy Temple, after he had incessantly warned his people to mend their ways before it was too late. It is told there that he responded to Yahweh’s (God’s) call to prophesy by protesting “I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth,” but he received Yahweh’s assurance that he would put his own words into Jeremiah’s mouth and make him a “prophet to the nations.” A few scholars believe that after his call Jeremiah served as an official prophet in the Temple, but most believe that this is unlikely in view of his sharp criticism of priests, prophets, and the Temple cult. Jeremiah probably died about 570 bce. Background Jeremiah began prophesying in Judah halfway through the reign of Josiah (640–609 b.c.) From the Zondervan NIV Study Bible. and continued throughout the reigns of Jehoahaz (609), Jehoiakim (609–598), Jehoiachin (598–597) and Zedekiah (597–586). He would undo all that he had done for them since the day he brought them out of Egypt. Given to self-analysis and self-criticism (10:24), Jeremiah has revealed a great deal about himself. Even then the prophet was under virtual house arrest until Jerusalem was captured in 586 (38:28). The book of Jeremiah is an account of the prophecies given to the prophet Jeremiah by God beginning around 626 B.C. 28) and Shemaiah (29:24–32). Jeremiah (probably after 650 – c. 570 BC), also called the "weeping prophet", was one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible (source of the Old Testament of Christian Bibles). On occasion, he engaged in calling for redress against his personal enemies (12:1–3; 15:15; 17:18; 18:19–23; see note on Ps 5:10)—a practice that explains the origin of the English word “jeremiad,” referring to a denunciatory tirade or complaint. Many of his own predictions were fulfilled in the short term (e.g.,16:15; 20:4; 25:11–14; 27:19–22; 29:10; 34:4–5; 43:10–11; 44:30; 46:13), and others were—or will yet be—fulfilled in the long term (e.g., 23:5–6; 30:8–9; 31:31–34; 33:15–16). 46–51; 36:1–8; ch. Soon after Assyria’s capital city Nineveh fell under the onslaught of a coalition of Babylonians and Medes in 612, Egypt (no friend of Babylon) marched northward in an attempt to rescue Assyria, which would soon be destroyed. He was possibly the same person who was the high priest and had found a lost copy of the ‘Book of the Law’ at a temple in Jerusalem during the reign of King Josiah.
