Notes
The first major miracle in Israel's history was the exodus from Egypt. This event was full of powerful signs and wonders. These divine acts caused fear in Egypt and among the desert tribes.
This prayer of Jeremiah was different from his earlier ones. Those were full of anguish, despair, and even criticism of the Lord's treatment of Judah. This prayer was calm, affirming, and worshipful.
People often call these four chapters "The Book of Consolation," a highlight in Old Testament revelation. Unlike the many judgment messages Jeremiah gave his people, these messages are full of hope and promise a wonderful future restoration.
