What is the main message of Jeremiah?

1)The sinfulness of Judah: forsaking the Lord, religious system that epitomized disobedience.
2) Judgment: via Babylon if the people did not repent. (conditional prophecy) 3) New Covenant: God would work directly on the hearts of his people, ritual without morality would cease. 4) Future of Judah: Return from exile... looking to the Messianic age when Israel & the nations would be blessed by a Davidic ruler. |
