Jeremiah

Jeremiah is a major prophet in the Hebrew Bible, known for his role in conveying God's messages during a tumultuous period in ancient Israel, around the late 7th and early 6th centuries BCE. His writings, found in the Book of Jeremiah, reflect his calling to warn the people of Jerusalem about impending disaster due to their disobedience to God. Jeremiah is often referred to as the "weeping prophet" because of his deep sorrow over the suffering of his people and the destruction of Jerusalem. His messages emphasize themes of repentance, hope, and the promise of a new covenant.
