Remember that:
- Jeremiah was 17 when Yah.weh called him to transmit Yah.weh ’s message of condamnation!
- Yah.weh forbade him to marry or have children!
- His friends had turned their backs on him!
- He knew what was going to happen!
- He was let alone!
- Horrible conditions would be in a short time, with babies, children, and adults dying “grievous” deaths, their bodies unable to even be buried, and their flesh devoured by the birds!
- Jeremiah preached for 40 years but nobody listened to him!
- He became discouraged!
- What a source of encouragement when we live in a world which is coming to its end!
