📚 Historical Context

Jeremiah prophesied during a time when Israel was facing exile to Babylon, and the people were losing hope. For centuries, the Exodus from Egypt had been the defining moment of God's faithfulness to His people - the ultimate proof that God keeps His promises. This prophecy was given around 600 BC, just before the Babylonian captivity.
