Prophecies of Jeremiah.-They are not
In chronological order. but seem to have
been rearranged according to their SUBJ
oects, viz: 1. Warning to the Jews. 2. Sur
vey OF all nations, with a historical ap-
pendix. 3. Prediction of brighter days to
come, with a similar appendix. 4. Prophe-
cies regarding Egypt. The concluding
chapters from 51:34 are supposed to have
been compiled from the latter portions of
Kings, and may nave been added by
Ezra. jeremiah was contemporary with
~Zephaniah. Habakkuk, Ezekiel and Dan
lei. He foretold the precise date Of the
Captivity, the fate Of Zedekiah, the re-
turn Of the Jews from Babylon. and the
decay of that city. Tradition credits him
with burying the ark. He predicted the
abrogation of the Law and the
ton Of a spiritual worship centering
around a Christ. He pictured the bless
ings Of the atonement, the call of the
Genti1es through the gospel, and the nnai
acceptance of the Jews. Jeremiah has
been called the weeping prophet because
OF his mournful prophecies over the fate
OF Jerusalem and the Jewish nation. but
there is a note of triumph running all
through, for his vision is clear and bright
of a better future which gives to him as
fully as to Isaiah the character OF a
prophet of the gospel. t%
