Jeremiah

God appears to Jeremiah in different human guises on several occasions, and makes it clear to him that he has been selected to announce God's message to the people of Jerusalem: a mighty ruler from the north will attack the Kingdom of Judah if the people there continue to worship false idols, and fail to remember the One God. No-one in Anathoth believes Jeremiah's prophecy, however. Instead, he is accused of blasphemy and is physically attacked, and not even his family comes to his aid. The prophet's message of impending doom incurs only the wrath and rejection of the ruling classes, the priesthood and the King.
