Perfect verse.

The significance of Jeremiah 31:31 lies in the idea that this “new covenant” will be different from the old one. It is often associated with the idea of spiritual renewal and forgiveness of sins. This passage is foreshadowing the New Testament and the coming of Jesus Christ, who is seen as the embodiment of the new covenant through His teachings, sacrifice, and the concept of salvation through faith.

In Christianity, the new covenant is often associated with the concept of God’s grace and forgiveness offered to humanity through faith in Jesus Christ, replacing the old system of laws and sacrifices.

It is clearly not talking about giving foreign aid to a secular nation in the middle east.

    Perfect verse.

  1. Notice who the covenant will be with.
  2. Notice that the prophecy is still yet to be fulfilled.
  3. Notice that, unlike the other covenant, the "new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah" is an unconditional covenant.
  4. Notice that the nation of Israel, whom you disdain, is still loved and protected by the LORD God of Israel, until the sun, the moon, and all the ordinances of heaven depart from before Him.
  5. Notice that the Holy One has loved Israel with "an everlasting love" and even when those ordinances depart, His word will never pass away.


Then ask yourself, do you truly love the LORD God of Israel and hold in contempt the only nation on earth named by and after Him.

As the Apostle to the Gentiles wrote, do not be ignorant and wise in your own conceits.
