Notes
First, the Lord spoke through Jeremiah about his own land, Judah. Then, Jeremiah delivered God's messages of judgment to everyone on earth.
The Lord is the supreme ruler of all nations, and their rebellion was about to bring judgment.
To whom I send you: Jeremiah did not travel to each nation in person. The message he delivered from the Lord spread mainly through written material, much of it in the book of Jeremiah, which people have read worldwide.
