“Question & Answer”

Question:
Was Jeremiah’s mission to Israel alone?
Answer:
He lived through the siege of Jerusalem along with the rest and was there as the people were taken away as captives. Perhaps worst of all, Jeremiah was alone. He was not allowed to marry (Jeremiah 16:2), and his family abandoned him. The people turned against him and didn’t believe him. God’s word came to Jeremiah: I appointed you a prophet to the nations. Godsaid to him also : Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all nations to whom I send you drink it.
