Author
- Jeremiah and Baruch
Time - 630 - 575 B.C.
Summary
- Jeremiah warns of the impending military force of Babylon
that would destroy Jerusalem and enslave the Jews. He urges
Jerusalem to turn from its wicked ways, but there is no response.
He further warns of the false prophets who are leading the
people astray with deceptive doctrines and falsehoods. He
urges the Israelites to submit to the Babylonian authority
as the instrument of God’s judgement. They do not heed his
warnings and the people are carried away to Babylon. He predicts
that the captives will return after seventy years to rebuild
Jerusalem and the Temple.
