Description

Who was Jeremiah?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, was one of the major prophets of the Old Testament. He lived and prophesied during the reigns of the last kings of Judah, including Josiah, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. Jeremiah's ministry spanned over 40 years, during which he warned the people of Judah about the impending Babylonian exile and called them to repentance and faithfulness to God.

Jeremiah faced significant opposition and persecution for his messages, which often contradicted the false hopes and political ambitions of the kings and people of Judah. He was threatened, imprisoned, and even thrown into a cistern. Despite these challenges, Jeremiah remained faithful to his prophetic calling and continued to deliver God's words to the nation.

Jeremiah's prophecies also included messages of hope and restoration, foretelling the eventual return of the exiles to their homeland and the establishment of a new covenant between God and His people. His writings, which include the book of Jeremiah and the book of Lamentations, provide a detailed account of the events leading up to the fall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian captivity, as well as his personal struggles and faith in God.

Jeremiah's prophecies are referenced in the New Testament, and he is considered a significant figure in both Jewish and Christian traditions. His life and message continue to inspire and challenge readers to remain faithful to God in the face of adversity and to trust in His ultimate plan for redemption and restoration.

Relations

Direct connections

Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

The pattern

Where Jeremiah is named

Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.

Jeremiah is named in 124 verses, and the name is written 137 times in them — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 61 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
