What is foolish is reading one set of promises in isolation from the rest of the promises, and the explanation of the real meaning of those promises. Some folks, for example, read Genesis 17 as if the New Testament didn’t exist or was irrelevant. That was not the approach of the apostles who interpreted the promises in the new covenant context, once for all time. Reading the Bible “dispensationally” is foolishness. Well then, how about giving us your "reading" of Jeremiah 31, 32 and 33. Do you believe God is speaking of the "church" here or of Israel?
Well then, how about giving us your "reading" of Jeremiah 31, 32 and 33. Do you believe God is speaking of the "church" here or of Israel? The focus of all prophecy is Jesus Christ, not Israel or the Church per se. IOW, the Bible is Christocentric, not Israelocentric. So, if you turn to a prophecy and ask, “how can I see Israel in this prophecy,” rather than, “how can I see Jesus in this prophecy,” you're starting off on the wrong foot.
So, how do you see Jesus in Jeremiah? After this we can talk about Israel if necessary.
