Jeremiah is sent by God to try to save his people and Jerusalem, but his message is not heard, and his people will be defeated and deported to Babylon, and Jerusalem destroyed. Jeremiah always obeys the Lord and says what he commands to those he directs; the result is that he is hated and thrown into prison. The story of Jeremiah is a prophecy of the life of Jesus. King Zedekiah, who resembles Pilate, delivers the prophet into the hands of the notables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeremiah, thrown into the mud of the cistern, lives his passion. God approaches him and saves him through a person despised for his condition of foreigner and eunuch, the Ethiopian Ebed-Melech who, having understood the injustice to which the prophet is subjected, is the only one who approaches the king to speak to him on behalf of Jeremiah, who in the besieged city was in danger of being forgotten and starving to death. He risks his life and thus saves Jeremiah's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
