Jeremiah is an historically proven authentic Prophet.  We know he truly existed.  The seal of his scribe Baruch was discovered by archaeologists.  So were the seals of the two scribes, Elishama and Gemariah, who served the contemporary king of Judah, Jehoiakim; along with the seal of Prince Jerahmeel.[1]  All of these people were contemporary with the Prophet Jeremiah, and all are explicitly mentioned in the Biblical book of Jeremiah.[2]

     Also, Jeremiah makes numerous references to places, nations, cities, and religious practices that would have only been known to Hebrews living before the Babylonian exile of 586 BCE, and he does so in a manner that assumes his audience is familiar with them.  Space allows for one example:  Jeremiah mentions frequently that the phrase "As Yahweh lives," was a popular expression of his time, and was spoken just before making a vow or affirming the truth by oath.[3]  This fact is verified archaeologically by the Lachish letters, which were documents written at the very same time Jeremiah was uttering his prophetic oracles.  These documents describe the desperate situation Judah was facing with regard to the imminent Babylonian captivity, and thus corroborate Jeremiah, which describes the same.  In the Lachish letters, one frustrated Hebrew military commander says to another, "As Yahweh lives, I don't need a scribe to read your orders for me!"[4]  In later times, it became customary to refrain from pronouncing the name of Yahweh; yet throughout the older parts of the Bible and in the Lachish letters, this is not the case, for the name of Yahweh is constantly pronounced by the characters in the Biblical stories, and they constantly make oaths with the phrase "As Yahweh lives," and its variants, such as "As surely as Yahweh lives."  This is a constant feature of the Biblical books written in the time of the monarchy – namely Judges, Ruth, Samuel, Kings, Amos, Hosea, and Jeremiah – and the expression appears more sparsely elsewhere.[5]  These books could not have been written at a date after the Babylonian exile, for after the exile, it was forbidden to verbalize "Yahweh," or even "God," and from this comes the practice of writing "G-d," and calling God "Father" in place of "God" or "Yahweh."  This was not the practice in the age of the Prophets, for in ancient times, the name of Yahweh was pronounced in casual conversation.  On this point, archaeology and textual criticism converge beautifully, and they prove the historical authenticity of the Prophet Jeremiah and of his book.

     Thus, Jeremiah must have written about 586 BCE or before.  Forgeries and pseudepigrapha that claim to represent more ancient times than the times in which they were actually written do not emulate the same level of familiarity with their alleged provenance, and thus demonstrate that most non-authentic authors from antiquity did not have the knowledge necessary to speak convincingly about bygone eras the same way Jeremiah does.  The best interpretation of these data is that the Biblical book of Jeremiah is authentic. 

     What's more, Jeremiah was a Prophet.  He foretold that the Hebrew people would be subjugated for 70 years.[6]  This was literally fulfilled, for the Hebrew nation lost its sovereignty in precisely 609 BCE when King Josiah was slain at the Battle of ha-Megiddo (aka – Armageddon),[7] and regained the nation precisely 70 years later in the first year of Cyrus the Persian who conquered Babylon and allowed the Hebrews to return to their native land in 539 BCE.[8]  Jeremiah also repeatedly prophesied that Israel and Judah would return and prosper in their native land – an event which truly happened long after his death.[9]

     More specifically, Jeremiah foretold that Jerusalem would be rebuilt on the very same plot of land,[10] and that the return from the exile would be limited to the southern tribal lands.[11]  This is entirely verifiable historically, for the northern lands were never fully re-occupied by Hebrews.  He also prophesied that when Israel returned, they would not forsake the covenant with the God of Israel anymore by worshipping other gods.[12]  This is also historically verifiable, for the old cults of Baal, Molech, Ashtoreth, etc, disappear from Jewish history after the return from Babylon. 

     Jeremiah also predicted that Babylon would invade and pillage Egypt, but he stopped short of saying that Babylon would actually conquer Egypt.[13]  He also said that Babylon would be captured by the Medes.[14]  These oracles are also congruent with archaeological and secular history. 

          In short, the specific and historically verifiable nature of Jeremiah’s prophecies yields a compelling case that Jeremiah could truly foretell future events.

Jeremiah also said that the Bible contains forgeries.  Jeremiah said,

How can you people say "We are the experts, for we have Yahweh's Bible," when behold, like a forgery, the pen has been manipulated by dishonest Bible copiers![15]

The creationist narrative in Genesis 1 is contradicted by many ancient Christian texts.  Instead of an Almighty Creator God, ancient Christian texts espouse that the universe is born from blind arrogance and stupidity.  The angels caused evolution to occur from species to species.  There are many gods, (or aliens?), and the Christian God is just one among them.  Satan the Devil writes scripture, and thus the Bible was polluted with Genesis 1.  Archaeology and modern scholarship demonstrate that Genesis is indeed corrupted.  Cavemen walk with Adam and Eve.  Esoteric prophecies reveal the coming of Christ, and also reveal the dark forces that govern the cosmos.  Such are the ancient Christian writings.

Science vindicates the truth of these ideas.  Evolution often happens too fast for Darwin’s theory.  Gaps in the fossil record indicate that some kind of unnatural force acts together with natural selection.  Astrobiology reveals that intelligent life probably evolved long before us.  The fossil record reveals strange clues that aliens abducted species and transported them across oceans, and that DNA from diverse lineages was combined to spawn hybrid species.  Evidently, aliens influence evolution, and they are the gods of the world’s religions. 

This is not fiction.  All these facts are thoroughly documented in the links above.
