I had often wondered why Jeremiah wasn’t killed at the time of Lehi like other prophets apparently were and like the people planned to do with Lehi before he fled. My best guess is that it was because Jeremiah had already been a recognized prophet under Josiah before the people returned to wickedness and he was to famous for the people to kill him without causing a public uproar.
I wonder how much Jeremiah was aware of those who accepted his teachings, like Lehi, counter to the prevailing attitude of the people of that time.
