Jeremiah was a prophet who didn’t pull any punches; I love reading his work for that reason. Jeremiah told it the way it was. He always spoke of the enormity of God, that the God who loved and cared for us was both a God nearby and a God far off; a God that filled both heaven and earth. Jeremiah railed against the number of false prophets, who cajoled the people with their dreams and lead them away from the word of fire that was spoken by our omnipresent God.
