In Jeremiah 16:10-13 Jeremiah foretold that Jerusalem would be destroyed and Judah taken captive. As he prophesied of this he gave five reasons for their destruction, the people had forsaken the Lord, have created false idols, have worshiped those false idols, haven't kept the commandments, they put their faith in themselves, and do not listen to the Lord.
Jeremiah also testifies what will happen as we prepare for the second coming. In 16:15-21 he tells us that the Lord will gather all of his people and there will be many that will preach the word of the Lord. He will also punish those who defiled his land. The preachers of the Lord will take his word to all the earth. They will find those who have not heard and tell them of his name and proclaim it unto them. These missionaries were described as fishers and hunters by the Lord because they are going to patiently and diligently search for those who need to hear the word of the Lord. They will testify of the Lord and his sacrifice for us. With the Lord we are able to have victory over the grave and be able to live with him for eternity.
