The Gist of Jeremiah

Jeremiah … A prophet of doom? Well much of his prophecy is about the failure of Israel and Judah and God’s judgment upon them.

However, there is one section which stands out above the rest: chapters 30-33. This section is a glorious oasis amidst the surrounding desert of condemnation and judgment. Here we have four chapters devoted entirely to Israel's restoration in the latter days, a restoration embracing both Israel and Judah, the longest and most beautiful promise of future bliss anywhere in the Bible outside of Isaiah.
