Notes
Under the new covenant, people will worship the one true God instead of idols.
The new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31–34) would deeply influence the people's spiritual lives, both individually and as a community.
They will be My people, and I will be their God: A strong relationship between God and his people would finally happen, as intended by the covenant from the beginning (Jeremiah 7:23; Leviticus 26:12; Ezekiel 11:20; 37:23; Zechariah 8:8).
The Lord assured that the destruction of Jerusalem would not stop his plans. After the immediate disaster, he planned salvation and restoration for his people.
The Lord answered Jeremiah's concern (Jeremiah 32:25) with several affirmations. The Lord had chosen his plan, set future events, and real doom threatened Jerusalem.
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.
