The next prophet we are going to visit on our journey through the Bible is Jeremiah. This prophet of God is sometimes referred to as the “weeping prophet.” This was because Jeremiah prophesied God’s warnings to the Jews in Judah just before they were carried away captive to Babylon.
The people had not listened to the messages that God had graciously sent to them through the prophet Isaiah. Now they were not listening to Jeremiah either. Jeremiah knew that God was going to have to punish the rebellious people even as He had been warning for so many years.
Knowing that this punishment was about to fall and that still the people would not listen and repent made Jeremiah very sad. He believed God’s message and loved God’s people - that was why he felt such sorrow.
Jeremiah is a beautiful little picture to us of how our blessed Lord Jesus felt about His beloved people when He walked among them and they refused to believe Him. He knew all that would happen and all the sorrow that would come on Jerusalem and the Jews. The Lord Jesus felt so sad that He even wept when He saw Jerusalem, knowing what was going to happen there because of their naughtiness.
