God called Jeremiah to prophetic ministry in about 626 BC.
Jeremiah resisted the call by complaining that he was only a child and did not know how to speak.[26] However, the Lord insisted that Jeremiah go and speak, and he touched Jeremiah’s mouth to place the word of the Lord there. Jeremiah also called the “Weeping prophet”, as he was forbidden to marry and have children.
Jeremiah was called by God to give prophecy of Jerusalem’s destruction that would occur by invaders from the north. This was because JUDAH had been unfaithful to the laws of the covenant and had forsaken God by worshiping Baal. The people had even gone as far as building high altars to Baal in order to burn their children in fire as offerings. Jeremiah was guided by God to proclaim that the nation of Judah would be faced with famine, plundered and taken captive by foreigners who would exile them to a foreign land.
