Synopsis

Excerpt from Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament, Vol. 2: The Prophecies of Jeremiah In view of the impending fall of the kingdom of Judah, Jeremiah seeks to present the godly with a strong anchor of hope in the realization of God's gracious promises, which were to be fulfilled after the appointed season of punishment had passed. For this purpose, after predicting the ills of exile times, the prophet gives a comprehensive statement concerning the deliverance which the Lord will vouchsafe to His people in the future, and gathers together the repeated briefer promises regarding the restoration and glorious condition of Israel and Judah, so as to give a full description of the deliverance intended for all the covenant people under the sceptre of the future David. This detailed announcement of the deliverance consists of a prettylong prophetic address (which Hengstenberg very properly designates "the triumphal hymn of Israels salvation," chap, xxx. and xxxi.), and two pieces confirmatory of this address, viz.: (1) one recording a symbolical act performed by the prophet at God's command, - the sale of a piece of hereditary property in land during the last siege of Jerusalem, shortly before the breaking up of the kingdom, which commenced with the taking of the city, together with a message from God explaining this act, chap, xxxii.; and (2) another passage giving, in prophetic language, a renewed promise that Jerusalem and Judah would be restored with the blissful arrangements connected with the Davidic monarchy and the Levitical priesthood, chap, xxxiii. According to the headings given in xxxii. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
