The First of the Major Prophets John Deakins

The Book of Jeremiah is the longest Bible book, but the commentary on it is not excessively complicated. Modern commentaries are dismissive of this inspired work because its assemblers failed to follow a single timeline when compiling his writings. He largely concerns himself with the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar and the final days of the Davidic Judean kings. Nevertheless, the book also includes Messianic prophecies and even glimpses of our own future, ignored by secularist commentators.
