Summary

📜 The New Covenant Prophecy in Jeremiah
This paragraph discusses the famous prophecy from the 31st chapter of the Prophet Jeremiah concerning a new covenant that God will establish with the house of Israel and Judah. It contrasts the new covenant with the original one made during the exodus from Egypt, which was broken by the people. The prophecy states that God will put His law into the hearts of the people, ensuring a direct relationship with them and forgiveness of their iniquities. The paragraph also addresses the Christian interpretation of this prophecy, suggesting that Christians believe it predicts new scriptures and a new relationship with God based on faith rather than the observance of the Torah. However, the paragraph argues that the prophecy has not yet been fulfilled, as it speaks of a messianic age characterized by peace and a world where all know God.
🔍 Unfulfilled Aspects of the New Covenant
The second paragraph delves into the reasons why the new covenant prophesied in Jeremiah has not yet been realized. It points out three main aspects: the reunification of the Jewish people, the global belief in God, and the internalization of the Torah. The reunification refers to the historical split of the Jewish nation into two kingdoms and the subsequent exile of the ten northern tribes, which the Bible prophesies will be found and reunited with Judah. The global belief in God highlights a future where there is no need for teaching about God, as all will believe, contrasting with the current reality where many do not. Lastly, the internalization of the Torah suggests a future where people will not only know the commandments but will also be faithful in observing them, a transformation of the heart that will result in a people who keep God's laws.
🌟 The Messianic Age and Torah Observance
The final paragraph emphasizes the messianic nature of the new covenant prophecy and the expectation of a transformed heart leading to faithful Torah observance. It references the book of Psalms and the prophet Ezekiel to support the idea that having the Torah in one's heart signifies a deep commitment to God's commandments. The paragraph also points out the consistency of this theme across major messianic prophecies in the Bible, including the vision of a descendant of David as the king who will lead Israel in loyalty to the Torah. This paragraph concludes with a musical interlude, suggesting a contemplative or transitional moment in the video script.

the 31st chapter in the Prophet Jeremiah
has a very famous prophecy about a new
covenant
abrete Hadassah that God is going to
make with the house of Israel and the
house of Judah I'm going to read it to
you the Prophet says that behold days
are coming says the Lord that I will
make a new covenant God is saying I'm
going to make a new covenant with the
house of Israel in the house of Judah
and he goes on to say it's not according
not like the covenant that i made with
their fathers in the day i took them by
the hand to bring them out of the land
of egypt it's not going to be like the
covenant we made back when they came out
of egypt because they broke that
covenant israel broke we didn't live
faithfully according to the original
covenant although god says i was a
husband to them but this shall be the
confident that i will make with the
house of israel after those days says
the lord I'll put my law I'll put my
Torah in their inner parts I will put it
into their hearts I will write it in
their hearts and I will be their God and
they will be my people and they shall
teach no more every man his neighbour
and every man his brother saying know
the Lord for they shall all know me from
the least of them to the greatest of
them says the Lord for I will forgive
their iniquity I'll remember their sin
no more the way Christians understand
this passage is that there's going to be
a new covenant which they take either to
mean that God's going to reveal a new
scriptures that's how they justify
gluing the New Testament onto the back
of our Tanakh because they say Jeremiah
predicted is going to be a new covenant
and many of them go on beyond that to
say that this is predicting the nature
of that new covenant it'll be one where
God puts the Torah in our hearts and
therefore if it's in our hearts it's now
really translated into a heart
relationship with God that it's no
longer gonna be like the old
relationship where we related to God
through keeping and observing the
commandments of the Torah but now that
gets replaced with faith in the Messiah
that's more or less the way Christians
understand this new covenant is going to
be a new relationship with God not like
the old one which the Jewish people
broke it's going to be a new one where
God puts it into our hearts and it's
going to be based upon faith not on
observing the Torah and it's going to be
captured in a new document which they
refer to as the New Testament or the New
Covenant the one thing that Christians
get right about this passage the one
thing they get right is that it is a
messianic passage this passage in
Jeremiah is speaking of the messianic
age what you should remember and it's
important to understand that the vast
majority the vast majority of Messianic
prophecies in the Jewish Bible do not
speak about the person of the Messiah
the vast majority of Messianic prophecy
in the Jewish Bible speak about what the
world will look like when the Messiah is
here they don't mention anything about
the person himself that's referred to as
the Messiah the vast majority simply
described what the world is going to
look like the world's going to be a
place of peace we're told in the second
chapter of Isaiah the second chapter of
Isaiah the world's gonna be a world of
peace it doesn't say anything about a
person a special human being
describes a transformed world there is a
small number of Messianic prophecies
that actually refer to the person of the
Messiah so Jeremiah 31 that we just read
which is about the new covenant God is
going to make is a messianic prophecy
the Christians get that right their
mistake is in assuming that it has
already taken place and it's very clear
that when you read this passage it has
not taken place for two reasons number
one actually for three reasons number
one one of the things that's taking
place in the Book of Jeremiah here in
the 31st chapter and other places is
that it's speaking about a reunification
of the Jewish people we know that about
2700 years ago even more than that our
nations split into two different nations
the southern kingdom of Judah the
Northern Kingdom of Israel we were two
separate nations and 2700 years ago the
ten northern tribes went into exile and
became lost but one of the prophecies
throughout the Bible is that we will be
reunited that in the future these Ten
Lost Tribes will be found they'll be
coming back and reuniting with their
brethren from the kingdom of Judah
that's one of the things that's being
mentioned here because it says God is
going to make this covenant with the
house of Israel and the house of Judah
at the time of Jesus there was no house
of Israel just the kingdom of Judah the
10 Lost Tribes were still lost at the
time of Jesus we're still waiting for
this to happen number 2 it says here
very clearly that when this new covenant
is made you won't have to go anywhere in
the world to teach people about God
because it says everyone is going to
believe in me from the least of them to
the greatest of them now if that were
true you wouldn't have any ministers or
missionaries in the world today we have
plenty of people who are going around
trying to teach people about God because
the whole world does not believe in God
today and it's very clear from this
passage in Durham
that were being told when this new
covenant is made everyone is going to
believe in God and this is one of the
central features of the Messianic utopia
not just here throughout the Bible in
the 11th chapter of Isaiah we're told
that the knowledge of God will spread
across the world as the waters cover the
Seas and the 14th chapter of Zakaria
says on that day God will be one and his
name will be one and this prophecy that
the whole world is going to embrace God
is one that is comes up numerous times
in the Bible this is just another one of
those times and it's a major feature of
what the Messianic world will look like
and it's one of the reasons that we know
clearly that we're not living in the
messianic age because it hasn't happened
yet
thirdly what does it mean when it says
God's going to put his Torah into our
hearts what's interesting is that God
says that the New Covenant will not be
like the old one the old one new people
broke which is true the Jewish nation
never were totally loyal and obedient to
all observe the Torah there have always
been a righteous remnant of Jews who
were loyal to God but as a people we
have never fully embraced and observed
the Torah what's interesting by the way
is that here in Jeremiah God says it
even though you broke the Covenant I was
still a husband to you I loved you when
the New Testament quotes this passage it
distorts it in a very very horrible way
in the New Testament book of Hebrews it
quotes this passage from Jeremiah and it
says that you broke the covenant and I
rejected you Jeremiah doesn't say that
God rejected us God says even though you
broke it I was still your husband well
what does it mean when God says he's
gonna put the Torah into our hearts
without even getting substantiation from
other passages in the Bible it's very
obvious that to say that the Torah is
going to be in your heart what it means
is you will be faithful to observe it
and it's contrasting with the Old
Covenant the Old Covenant
Jeremiah says you broke the new covenant
it's going to be implanted into your
hearts which means you'll be loyal
faithful to keep it and you actually see
this substantiated in the Bible in the
book of psalms chapter 40 verse 8 King
David says I delight to do your Will O
my god why because your Torah is within
my heart when the tour is in your heart
you will do the tour oh you'll be
faithful and the prophet Ezekiel says
the same thing in two passages in the
eleventh chapter of Ezekiel he says and
I will give them one heart and I will
put a new spirit within you and I'll
take the stony hearts out of your flesh
and give them a heart of flesh
what will that new heart be like that
they will walk in my statutes and keep
my ordinances and do them that the
transformed heart will result in a
people who will keep the Torah and this
again is a prophecy that is consistent
in every major messianic prophecy the
most clear messianic prophecy in the
Bible is the 37th chapter of Jeremiah of
Ezekiel the 37th chapter of Ezekiel
Reese peeks about again this descendant
of David coming to be our King and all
of Israel being loyal to follow the
commandments of the Torah
