The restoration Jeremiah sees for Israel’s future is more than just a political entity, and return to the land. It is participation in a new covenant, which features forgiveness of sins. It is also permanent. What the LORD plucked up, he will replant, and make it as permanent as the fixed order of the moon and stars at night. The God of justice who brought about their exile has a plan for their restoration.
LORD, restore us to a right relationship with you. Make us a city fit for your indwelling.
Jeremiah 31
