just a very early thought here...
Will we ever get to the point where we so KNOW God that we don't even have teach one another?
Also, a question for myself: what is written on my heart?

When I finished seminary, I had a lot of head knowledge about ministry (although there was much that I failed to acquire from educational opportunities). What I grew to appreciate was my need of heart knowledge. I sometimes wish that it had not taken 30+ years to move what I knew intellectually from head to heart to the depths of my soul. I know that I know that I know on many levels of my life that God's love and redemption is real. There may be some risks involved, but proclamation of Jeremiah's prophecy must involve some personal testamony that the one who preaches it has experienced it in the heart. TN Mack

Is there any significance to the repetition of "says the Lord" in every verse? It really seems to stand out and I am curious. LGB

This is "a new covenant". How many covenants is this? How many follow this one? What covenant are we under now? Phil KS

LGB the saying "n'om adoni" --- "thus says the Lord" is a characteristic of Jeremiah. There might be two possible explanations for this peculiar construction in Jeremiah: 1. Jeremiah, as a youth, struggled with the words that the Lord had given him to say. His laments witness to his lack of willingness, at times, to serve in the capacity to which God had called him. He might be hedging his bets "DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!! 2. Jeremiah's message, like that of so many of the prophets, did not fall on willing ears. His saying "n'om adoni" may have pointed beyond himself, and to his Lord, as a sign to those within the range of his voice to listen.

Is this not the same thing - Stoney tablets of Legal material transformed into earthy, dusty, vunerable hearts?

Historical view: God telling jeremiah there will be time,when they wont stray, new convenant. not like Noah's, Abraham's, Jacob's... Of course, the people don't understand what this new covenant really was going to be. I think, Jeremiah did though. If they would have understand, would they have done what they did to Jesus? Would the millenial Reign have begun then? Or Because God new human nature, was it His divine plan as to graffed in gentiles...The Future Covenant!!! When we have reached that perfection John Wesley tells us to strive for! We shall know all then, (You know those this new covenant will put 'us' out of a Job! Jesus won't need preachers, teachers, evangelists, prophets then...) Pastor Mary of OHIO

Sunday's sermon: "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Jeremiah wants people to hear God's message: "Thus sayeth the Lord!"
In John, God speaks, but some say it thundered.
I live near Ft. Sill. Artillery fire booms all day and all night, but those of us who have lived here long enough do not hear the sounds of war anymore.
Jeremiah and Jesus in John want the people to have hearts that can hear God's message.
