Question: Did the church help to further Jeremiah's ministry?
Based on the biblical account, the religious leaders and priests of Jeremiah's time generally opposed and resisted his ministry, rather than helping to further it.
Reasons for their opposition:
Jeremiah's message was unpopular and challenging: He prophesied judgment and destruction for Judah due to their idolatry and injustice, a message the leaders and people did not want to hear.
• He threatened their authority and livelihood: Jeremiah's criticisms of temple worship and his prediction of the Temple's destruction undermined the priests' authority and livelihood.
• They viewed him as a false prophet and traitor: The priests accused Jeremiah of speaking against the city and the Temple, equating it to sedition and declaring him a false prophet deserving of death.
• Their refusal to heed God's warnings: The people and their leaders ignored Jeremiah's warnings and messengers, refusing to change their ways despite the approaching danger.
• False prophets contradicted his message: Jeremiah faced false prophets who offered false comfort and peace, further hindering the acceptance of his genuine message from God.
Instances of resistance and persecution:
• Jeremiah was arrested and put on trial for his Temple sermon.
• He was beaten and put in stocks by the priest ###.
• There were plots against his life by his own priestly relatives.
• Some leaders sought to kill Jeremiah because they disliked his message and threw him into a muddy cistern.
In summary, while *Jeremiah was a priest himself, his message and actions put him at odds with the majority of the religious establishment of his time, who actively resisted his ministry.

A false prophet is not determined because one speaks fear (i.e. reverence for God through a message of warning). False prophets are those who speak lies against the Word of God. Why would I need to lie to my hometown?
While it has been no great surprise to me that the church has played such a silent role in helping to further my ministry; still, it is nonetheless a heart-wrenching disappointment. Thank God for the army commander that stepped forth to help further Jeremiah's ministry, as God's called as prophet to the nations.
*Jeremiah's calling and priesthood was ordained by God alone.
