Jeremiah proves he is a true prophet by saying that the king's cousin will come and offer his field to him because he is entitled to buy it. Which the cousin then does, but if the king is the one who is entitled to the field then it was bound to happen? Because the fact that the Babylonians were besieging the city wasn't enough proof.
There is nothing too difficult for God (insert question about whether God can make a rock too heavy for him to lift)
God has made a covenant that the day and night will come at their proper times, wouldn't want the sun to go on strike and refuse to rise would we.
God promises to make the people of Israel as numerous as the stars, I guess they broke the covenant a lot then...
OK, Jeremiah's prophecies are not so great, he tells King Zedekiah that God says he'll die a peaceful death, the footnote tells me that he is captured by Babylonians, has his eyes cut out and the dies in prison, yeah sounds peaceful to me.
Oh well, Zedekiah gets in trouble for not getting everyone to release their slaves, guess that's why he doesn't get the peaceful death in the end.
