In the context of the Old Testament, prophets often received God's word to convey His messages to the people of Israel. This underscores the role of prophets as intermediaries between God and humanity. The phrase "the word of the LORD" is a common biblical expression indicating divine authority and truth, as seen in other prophetic books like Isaiah and Ezekiel. The personal nature of "came to me" highlights Jeremiah's unique calling and the intimate relationship he had with God, reminiscent of other prophets such as Moses and Samuel. This communication is part of a larger narrative where God uses the imagery of a potter and clay to illustrate His sovereignty over nations, a theme that resonates with the biblical understanding of God's control and purpose in history.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, called by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah.
