“Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? (Jer 23:29)
Jeremiah would be the voice of that word. Hated and feared by many, yet secretly sought by the king, He belonged to no one but God, was indebted to no one but God.”

Thanks for the article which I found to be informative. I was, however, disappointed that 25:32-33 were not addressed. These predictions have not yet been fulfilled and seem to be aimed at the 21st century.

See! The disaster spreads
from nation to nation.
A mighty tempest rises
from the far ends of the world.

Those slaughtered by YHWH that day will be scattered across the world from end to end. No dirge will be raised for them; no one will gather them or bury them; they will stay lying on the surface like dung.
