Jeremaih 30-31

Two weeks ago, I pointed out a shift in Jeremiah’s propheciesUntil now, his message was a reminder to Israel of all their failures- they had turned from their God and were rushing downhill• so Jeremiah delivered a message of condemnation, rejection, of doom and gloom• but now a light breaks through the dark passages◦ there is hope for Israel after all- but if God made it possible for his people to return,• could they maintain a relationship with him this time?◦ their history had indicated otherwise◦ was it enough for God to say, "Come home. I forgive you?"• something had to happen that would change his people◦ something radically new in the history of Israel
