Jeremiah was a man, and a prophet. In our retrospect, we look at him as a Prophet; In his day he was looked at as just a man. When you read what he said to the people of Israel, you can see that he was certainly a Prophet; because he knew what the job of prophet really was. It was not to predict the future, but to predict the present, to tell the people of the way things were, and in so doing tell them what might happen if they did not change.
