Top Highlights
“‘Knowledge’ in the book of Jeremiah is not about an intellectual discernment of some fact about God; rather, to ‘know’ God meant to be devoted to God and to obey God.” (Page 23)
“In contrast to the kings who were responsible for God’s judgment, God will raise up a Davidic king who will ‘execute justice and righteousness in the land’ (v. 15). Of course, the well-being of the whole land was a result of the righteousness of the king. Unjust kings brought destruction to the land (22:1–9), whereas a just and righteous king would bring blessing and prosperity to the land (Psalm 72).” (Page 40)
“Jeremiah 31:31–34 looks toward that day when God has established a new covenant and corrected the ‘heart’ problem of the people so all will ‘know’ God.” (Page 23)
“No wonder God’s people broke covenant! Their hearts were overwritten with sin that led them away from God” (Page 23)
