1 | How did Jer. do this? | Jer 25:15 | reformedreader | 2921 | ||
melancthon, Nice namesake. Do you read much of Phillip's works? I believe several possibilities exist. One that is the most plausable to me is that Jeremiah did not literally go to each national geographical location for that was not necessary, even though he might have gone to some. The word "nations" does not always refer to a geographical location but almost always refers to people. As the nations (people) were scattered and traveled and held together in bondage, it would have been easy to preach to a large number of people groups, thus allowing them to repeat Jeremiah's words to other people groups just as Nehemiah did not need to speak to each and every individual Israelite for them to know the command to rebuild a temple. Israel is both a nation and a peoples. I look forward to hearing other views. Sam Hughey |

Sam,your response does seem to be workable and worthy of consideration. Thanks. I learned of M while reading Schaff's History of the Christian Church. Ordered a copy of The Book of Concord and read it (twice). Other than that I am not familiar with any other of his writings. Suggestions? | ||||||
