Foreshadowings: Jeremiah was known as the “weeping prophet” for his deep and abiding passion for his people and their city (Lamentations 3:48-49). This same sorrow over the sins of the people and their rejection of God was expressed by Jesus as He approached Jerusalem and looked ahead to her destruction at the hands of the Romans (Luke 19:41-44). Because of the Jews’ rejection of their Messiah, God used the Roman siege to punish His people.
Ishara: Yeremia alikuwa anajulikana kama "Nabii anayelialia" kwa ajili ya hamaki kali aliyokuwa nayo kwa watu wake na mji wao (Maombolezo 3: 48-49). Hii huzuni sawa juu ya dhambi za watu na kumkataa Mungu ilionyeshwa na Yesu alipokaribia Yerusalemu na kutazama mbele kwa uharibifu wake katika mikono ya Warumi (Luka 19: 41-44). Kwa sababu ya wayahudi kumkataa Masihi wao, Mungu alitumia kuzingira kwa Warumi kuwaadhibu watu wake.
