The new covenant was brought about by Jesus. What was Jeremiah now confirming about this covenant, and the one who was making it in? The Lord keeps His word and is as trustworthy as the sun rising and setting. In vs 38-40 Jeremiah tells how the ruined city of Jerusalem would be rebuilt and the whole area would be sacred to God again. A physical fulfillment of that took place when the Jews returned in 516BC. But it’s greater fulfillment is a spiritual one. Jews and Gentiles who’ve called on Jesus Christ for salvation are the spiritual Israel who God will never cast off, and who will endure for all eternity.
