{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p>Jeremiah, like Isaiah, is one of the greater prophets, not of\r\nthe minor, like the others from whose writings I have just\r\ngiven extracts. He prophesied when Josiah reigned in Jerusalem,\r\nand Ancus Martius at Rome, when the captivity of the\r\nJews was already at hand; and he continued to prophesy\r\ndown to the fifth month of the captivity, as we find from his\r\nwritings. Zephaniah, one of the minor prophets, is put along\r\nwith him, because he himself says that he prophesied in the\r\ndays of Josiah; but he does not say till when. Jeremiah thus\r\nprophesied not only in the times of Ancus Martius, but also\r\nin those of Tarquinius Priscus, whom the Romans had for\r\ntheir fifth king. For he had already begun to reign when\r\nthat captivity took place. Jeremiah, in prophesying of Christ,\r\nsays, \"The breath of our mouth, the Lord Christ, was taken in<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_257\">[Pg 257]</a></span>\r\nour sins,\"<a id=\"FNanchor_549_549\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_549_549\">[549]</a> thus briefly showing both that Christ is our Lord\r\nand that He suffered for us. Also in another place he says,\r\n\"This is my God, and there shall none other be accounted of\r\nin comparison of Him; who hath found out all the way of\r\nprudence, and hath given it to Jacob His servant, and to\r\nIsrael His beloved: afterward He was seen on the earth, and\r\nconversed with men.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_550_550\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_550_550\">[550]</a> Some attribute this testimony not to\r\nJeremiah, but to his secretary, who was called Baruch; but it\r\nis more commonly ascribed to Jeremiah. Again the same\r\nprophet says concerning Him, \"Behold the days come, saith\r\nthe Lord, that I will raise up unto David a righteous shoot,\r\nand a King shall reign and shall be wise, and shall do judgment\r\nand justice in the earth. In those days Judah shall be\r\nsaved, and Israel shall dwell confidently: and this is the\r\nname which they shall call Him, Our righteous Lord.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_551_551\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_551_551\">[551]</a> And\r\nof the calling of the nations which was to come to pass, and\r\nwhich we now see fulfilled, he thus spoke: \"O Lord my God,\r\nand my refuge in the day of evils, to Thee shall the nations\r\ncome from the utmost end of the earth, saying, Truly our\r\nfathers have worshipped lying images, wherein there is no\r\nprofit.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_552_552\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_552_552\">[552]</a> But that the Jews, by whom He behoved even to be\r\nslain, were not going to acknowledge Him, this prophet thus\r\nintimates: \"Heavy is the heart through all; and He is a man,\r\nand who shall know Him?\"<a id=\"FNanchor_553_553\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_553_553\">[553]</a> That passage also is his which\r\nI have quoted in the seventeenth book concerning the new\r\ntestament, of which Christ is the Mediator. For Jeremiah\r\nhimself says, \"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I\r\nwill complete over the house of Jacob a new testament,\" and\r\nthe rest, which may be read there.<a id=\"FNanchor_554_554\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_554_554\">[554]</a></p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK EIGHTEENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-431"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"09ce795e85746a94774ec0406383e9f2c644f8febf497ad3ff8ec0b445fca2d2","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_550_550","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
