The Book of Jeremiah is the longest Bible book, but the commentary on it is not excessively complicated. Modern commentaries are dismissive of this inspired work because its assemblers failed to follow a single timeline when compiling his writings. He largely concerns himself with the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar and the final days of the Davidic Judean kings. Nevertheless, the book also includes Messianic prophecies and even glimpses of our own future, ignored by secularist commentators.

Unlike the usual agnostic commentaries, this work treats the Biblical account as both true and correct. It follows the Children of Israel from the birth of Moses to their departure from Mt. Horeb. It includes a thorough discussion of the Ten Plagues of Egypt, the exodus itself, and the delivery of the Law. The Mosaic Law is treated with respect throughout, and its moral precepts are regularly cross-referenced to the New Testament.

The Young Earth Creationists have needlessly saddled themselves with the dogma that the timeline of the first dozen chapters of Genesis not only refer the initial Creation and the events through the Flood, but also refer to the timeline of our present universe. Their "evidence" is anecdotal, often missing entirely, and never scientifically verified. They have been thrashing about trying to prove that apples are oranges. This work will use the Bible to show that Noah's universe and our present universe couldn't be the same universe. Thus, a Young Earth creation in the last ten thousand years is correct through the Flood. At the same time, a creation 13.6 billion years ago is also correct for our present universe. Following both Genesis and Science, it will show Noah transferring to our present universe. This is meant to be a controversial work. Other controversial proposals about the Bible's initial chapters will also be logically considered.
