Jeremiah
Jeremiah prophesied in Judah in the year 626 B.C. This was about halfway through the reign of Josiah over Judah. He continued through the reigns of Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. During this time, Judah was in turmoil. Jeremiah spoke of the death and destruction of the nation of Judah. Nations such as Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon were consumed with the idea of imperialization, and set out to conquer new lands and expand their territories. Judah was caught in the middle, and their livelihood was threatened. Jeremiah spoke of this threat often. In the text of Jeremiah 13:15-27, he goes into detail about the threat of captivity that faced the people of Judah. In chapter 12, Jeremiah is crying out to the Lord, and asking Him to do something to change the way of the people of Judah. The Lord answers Jeremiah by telling him that He is going to do something, and that he is going to uproot the evil. (12:14) In the first part of chapter 13, the Lord is saying that since the people of Judah are lifting up idols, and worshipping false Gods, they will be completely useless. (13:10) The selected text is a message to Judah from the Lord, spoken through Jeremiah. Jeremiah is in Jerusalem
