The prophet ______________________ was called a prophet to Israel and to the nations.

While the selection of Jeremiah is understandable given his significant role in prophesying to the nation of Judah and addressing issues that impacted both Israel and the surrounding nations, the correct choice is actually identified with someone else.

Isaiah is the prophet who is often referred to as the prophet to Israel and to the nations. His ministry predominantly took place during the 8th century BCE and his writings include messages directed not only towards Judah but also contain oracles against various nations. Isaiah’s prophetic vision encompasses the coming of the Messiah, which he presents as a universal hope. Additionally, he forecasts the ultimate redemption not just for Israel but also extends it to all nations, emphasizing God's sovereignty over all people. Therefore, Isaiah’s role as a prophet to both Israel and the nations aligns closely with this description, given the extensive nature of his prophecies that reach beyond national borders.

Jeremiah, while addressing Israel and the nations, primarily focused on the impending judgment and fate of Judah in light of their disobedience, which is why he is often seen as a local prophet rather than one with a focus on the broader nations in the same way as Isaiah.
