About Jeremiah

Jeremiah, an influential religious figure who lived from approximately 650 to 586 BCE, is ranked highly by the Historical Popularity Index (HPI) at #378, reflecting his lasting impact as a major prophet in the Hebrew Bible. His life spanned the final tumultuous years of the Kingdom of Judah, culminating in the Babylonian conquest and the destruction of Jerusalem. Jeremiah's prophetic career was marked by his unwavering, often unpopular, warnings about the impending judgment due to the kingdom's moral failings, establishing him as a foundational voice in the Abrahamic traditions.

Despite this high historical ranking, Jeremiah's modern digital footprint is relatively modest. He accrued an annualized total of 399K Wikipedia views in 2025, resulting in an attention gap of approximately 1x, suggesting his online attention broadly matches his established historical importance relative to other figures in the Pantheon project. This steady attention contrasts sharply with some contemporaries, though his 2025 readership is still significantly lower than that of other religious figures like Saul (#896 importance) who drew 750K views, or Catherine of Aragon (#932 importance) who drew 2.0M views.

Interestingly, his viewership shows a recent uptick in interest, with a 9% positive momentum shift observed between the first and third quarters of 2025, even as his year-over-year change was slightly negative at -6.3%.
