Question:
What was Jeremiah’s original thought regarding the quarter from which doom would descend upon his nation?
Answer:
In Jeremiah the Scythians, a group of tribes living on the steppe from Carpathians to the Don, were a source of dread. It reads in Jeremiah 1:14 KJV> Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the land’s inhabitants.
