The book of Jeremiah is the second of the Major Prophets, and portrays God’s judgement against Israel through the Babylonian army. The Babylonian campaign against Judah and Jerusalem is referred to as judgement ‘from the north’, symbolising the direction the Babylonians would approach the city. Jeremiah was often characterized by his anguish of spirit and he has been called 'the weeping prophet'. He was a deeply sensitive man, who found the message of judgement so upsetting, that he often shed tears as he expressed his grief and sorrow. He was a man of prayer and fortitude as he endured fierce opposition from the kings of Judah and the false prophets who stood against him. But Jeremiah remained faithful to the call and ministry of God on his life and he is an example to each of us to remain strong, even if we don’t see the results we want.
