📚 Historical Context

Jeremiah was prophesying during a time when false prophets were misleading the people of Judah, claiming to speak for God while actually promoting lies. These false teachers thought they could deceive people and escape God's notice. God speaks through Jeremiah to remind everyone that He is omnipresent (everywhere at once) and omniscient (all-knowing).
