He was born into a very religious family of his mother Ruby and his father James. His father James T. Jeremiah was a very religious Baptist pastor who also served as a president of Cedarville University. He brought up his children in a religious surrounding.

His family followed the religious norms and it was expected for David to do the same. David often watched his father James have sermons and was mesmerized by his influence on the people and his firm faith which could not be shaken.

He was also very stunned by his father’s words about God and the way he must be involved in people’s lives and he often questioned him about it. That’s the way he got into religion and realized that he is actually going to be involved in it later in his life.

Cedarville University where his father worked is a private Baptist University settled in the same-named city in Ohio in United States and it offers lectures about Bible and theological thesis so it is a place of education for pastors.

After finishing high school he continued his education at his father’s Cedarville University and he was one of the best students there. He already chosen his path in life by entering this college and his family was very pleased by his choice.

He has graduated from his university in 1963 and got his bachelor’s degree there. After that, he continued his education and gained his master’s degree in 1967 from a known Texas evangelical theological seminary in Dallas.

He says that this job has been the biggest blessing in his life and that’s he is eternally thankful for what he considers his career.

Career development

After Tim LaHaye retired from his position as the senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, David inherited the same position and became the senior pastor of the same community church in 1981. It was the same year he received his Doctor of Divinity diploma.

Under his leadership, this church started its affirmation to a Christian denomination called The Southern Baptist Convention. David decided that the church has to be more aggressive in its expanding, making it possible through various social media and television programs.

That is why, in 1982, Jeremiah became the founder of Turning Point Ministries which is concentrated on various media. He said that this was a must and that he always knew that this would be a big part of the next stage of his career.

The main focus of Turning Point Ministries is giving Bible instructions to its followers and explaining its thesis to potential new members. The basis of the Ministries is in its radio program called “Turning Point” which soon became their main media for closer interaction to their congregate.

This program repeatedly airs the sermons of pastor David Jeremiah. He had won several awards regarding the program and his work on it and was very honored by it since it was his own work that brought him the award and recognition of the community.

Dr. David Jeremiah is kind of controversial with his opinions and it seems like that one of his favorite topics to speak about is the coming Armageddon.

One of his most shocking thesis is the one that the lush foliage placed at the Garden of Eden, placed in Mesopotamia by the Bible, is now the oil used for gasoline.

His claims are that Americans fill their tanks with gasoline made out of lush from the Garden of Eden and by that they finance Satan’s diabolic plan to destroy the Garden of Eden and its value. That way the Satan brings people to the End of Times.

He is also a big critic of modern churches and he claims that they have forgotten their real purpose and that they want to blend in too hard instead of focusing on their initial Bible approach.
