TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Hope beyond Judgment

The prophets contain many messages of judgment and doom, but rays of hope occasionally shine through.

In Jeremiah, the first ray of hope is found in the Lord’s appeal to Israel to turn from idolatry back to the Lord God and the Sinai covenant (Jer 3:11–4:2). A positive response would open a bright future for the people. They could know the salvation that heals hearts (3:22-23), and Israel would become a blessing to all nations (4:1-2). The people’s repentance would bring God’s anger to an end, and the nation would not be destroyed. Even in times of crisis before the fall of Jerusalem, promises of a wonderful future offered hope for the nation (see 16:15; 23:3-8; 29:10-14; 30:1–33:26).

Even after the fall of Jerusalem, the Lord again offered hope to the exiles in Babylon. After seventy years, the exiles who turned to the Lord would return to the Promised Land to rebuild the Temple and the city of Jerusalem. A functioning community would know peace and prosperity (see 46:27-28; chs 50–51). Babylon would be conquered, and the exiles would return to Judah. These events occurred in 539–538 BC.

Hope for the people of God extended well into the future, as God promised a righteous descendant of King David who would rule over his people (Isa 11:1-5; Jer 23:5-6; 33:15-17). Jesus Christ is that righteous descendant; through his death on the cross, he became the mediator of a new covenant (Heb 9:13-15; 12:22-24). Those who trust in him now hope for his eternal kingdom beyond God’s judgments in the present age.
