Jeremiah

About Jeremiah

Jeremiah was a pivotal prophet in ancient Judah, active during the late 7th and early 6th centuries BCE, notably during the reign of King Zedekiah. His historical importance, which lands him at HPI Rank #378, stems from his vocal opposition to the political and religious corruption of his time, foretelling the impending destruction of Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile. As a key figure in the Hebrew Bible, his pronouncements and narrative are foundational to the development of monotheistic traditions, securing his place among the most influential figures in Western civilization's religious history.

In the modern digital sphere, Jeremiah commands an estimated 403K annualized Wikipedia views in 2025. This level of attention yields an Attention Gap ratio of approximately 1x, suggesting his online visibility aligns reasonably well with his historical stature (#378 importance). To put this in context, he receives significantly less digital attention than figures like the 14th Dalai Lama (1.9M views, HPI #661) or even Brigham Young (2.7M views, HPI #947), who are ranked lower in overall historical impact but garner several times the current internet traffic. Interestingly, his closest contemporary in importance, Zoroaster (#382), receives nearly double the traffic at 727K views.

Despite the stable gap ratio, Jeremiah’s year-over-year attention has slightly declined by -5.2%, though recent interest shows a significant upward trend, with 2025 Momentum surging by +32% between Q1 and Q3, hinting at a potential reawakening of online curiosity.
