Jeremiah
This quiz, Jeremiah, looks at the ‘weeping prophet’.
The second of the Prophetic Books, and the twenty-fourth book in the Bible, is the Book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah lived 80 -100 years after the death of Isaiah and was the prophet to the last five kings of Judah. He has been called the 'weeping prophet' because of his sadness for his people's sin, and he witnessed the capture of Jerusalem and the exile of its people, both of which he had predicted would come if the people did not turn back to God.
Jeremiah is not all doom and gloom. He tells us of God's promise to renew his people in the future.
All quotations from the Bible are taken from the Authorised King James Version.

Jeremiah 24:4-10
"Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good. For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart. And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the Lord, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt: and I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them. And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers"
