What's In The Bible: Heroes Of The Old TestamentНамуна

Jeremiah was also a prophet who was prophesying during the destruction of Israel and Judah. He was in Judah when many Israelites were taken into captivity, and he saw Jerusalem and the temple destroyed. Jeremiah spent 40 years telling the Israelites to repent, which means to turn away from sin and back to God, or Israel would be destroyed. Jeremiah is called the "weeping prophet," because he was so sad about what was going to happen to Israel. The people did not listen to him, though, and eventually everything he told them came true.
