Notes

In the future, Jerusalem will be a global center of worship called The Throne of the Lord, and people from all nations will give up their rebellion (Jeremiah 7:24; Deuteronomy 29:19; Isaiah 60:9).

The Lord asked Israel to repent, return, and reconcile with him (contrast Jeremiah 2:1–3:10). Israel had sinned and faced punishment. Now, the people of Judah sinned even more openly than their northern relatives, ignoring the lesson the Lord taught Israel (Ezekiel 16:51–52). However, it was still not too late to repent and become the blessing to the nations (Jeremiah 4:1–2) that God intended them to be (Genesis 12:3).
