Introduction to Jeremiah
It was the great unhappiness of this prophet, to be a physician to,
but that could not save, a dying state, their disease still prevailing
against the remedy; and indeed no wonder that all things were so
much out of order, when the book of the law had been wanting
above sixty years.
He was called to be a teacher in his youth, in
the days of good Josiah, being sanctified and ordained by God to
his prophetical office from his mother's womb, chap. i, 5, in a
very evil time, though the people afterward proved much worse
upon the death of that good king.
He setting himself against the
torrent of the corruptions of the times, was always opposed, and
unkindly treated by his ungrateful country-men, as also by false
prophets, and the priests, princes, and people, who encouraged all
their impieties and unrighteousness: at length he threatened their
destruction and captivity by the Chaldeans, which he lived to see,
but foretells their return after seventy years; all which accordingly
came to pass.
He also, notwithstanding his dreadful threatenings,
intermixes divers comfortable promises of the Messiah, and the
days of the gospel; he denounces also heavy judgments against
the Heathen nations, that had afflicted God's people, both such as
were near, and also more remote, as Egypt, the Philistines, Moab,
Edomites, Ammonites, Damascus, Kedar, Hazor, Elam, but
especially Babylon herself, that is made so great a type of the
Anti-Christian Babylon in the New Testament.
Upon the murder
of Gedaliah, whom the Chaldeans had made governor of Judea, he
was forcibly against his will carried into Egypt, where (after he
had prophesied from first to last between forty and fifty years) he
probably died; some say he was stoned. Whatever else we hear
mentioned of his writings, they are either counterfeit as the
prophecies of Baruch,&c., or it is likely we have the sum of them
in this book, though possibly some of his sermons might have had
some enlargements in that roll, which by his appointment, was
written by Baruch, chap. xxxvi, 2, &c.
