Question:
What picture does Jeremiah draw of the way in which the Scythians might be expected to attack?
Answer:
It reads in Jeremiah 4:13 KJV> Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
The Scythians were an ancient Eastern Iranic nomadic people who migrated from Central Asia to the Pontic Steppe. They founded a rich, powerful empire in what is now Crimea. They were known for their equestrian skills and their Scytho- style of art and culture. They existed from the 9th century BC until the 3rd century BC.
