This lesson turned out to be a slingshot into the New Testament! All these great promises of restoration and renewal were for God’s people seventy years after going into exile—but they had a fuller fulfillment in the New Covenant. We still benefit in a dramatic way from what God said to His people on the eve of terrible judgment.
Think back to Jeremiah’s calling to people who blamed him for treason. He was a traitor because he called for a surrender to Babylon. But look what God had in mind! Jeremiah announced the end of a community clinging to the ancient promises for David and Jerusalem. But Jeremiah saw ahead to their ultimate fulfillment: a new Davidic Shepherd whose Spirit would inspire heart-felt worship that bursts beyond any man-made temple.
