-Chapter 26 records [[Jeremiah]]'s trial before the princes. His accusers were the priests and false prophets. But [[Jeremiah]] had friends among the princes, especially one named Ahikam, who saved him from [[death]]. The threat against [[Jeremiah]]'s life was due to his having predicted that the Temple would be destroyed. All classes of people rejected the truth and persecuted the [[prophet]]. Verses 12-24 record [[Jeremiah]]'s brave defense and deliverance.
+Chapters 30 and 31 contain a song of restoration. [[Jeremiah]]'s dark warnings of [[judgment]] were relieved by a prophecy of the glorious future of the nation. This great regathering will be preceded by the Great Tribulation, which is often called the Time of [[Jacob]]'s Trouble.
-In chapters 27 and 28 [[Jeremiah]] actually put a yoke, like those worn by oxen, on his neck for an illustration to the people. He then went about the city saying that thus shall [[Babylon]] put a yoke on the necks of this people. One of the false prophets, Hananiah, broke the yoke (chapter 28:10) and as a punishment died within two months (verse 17).
+The return of Christ as King will establish the Kingdom after the sinful people have been purged. They will be restored as the [[Lord]]'s people. The new covenant and the everlasting nation is shown in chapter 31:27-40. This restoration of the [[Lord]]'s blessings is based upon the new covenant (verses 31-34). The old covenant was the law covenant, grounded in legal observance. The new covenant (Hebrews 8:8-12) will be entirely on the basis of [[grace]] and the sacrificed blood of Christ, which will be the foundation of [[Israel]]'s future inward regeneration and restoration to [[God]]'s favor.

		+	Chapter 26 records [[Jeremiah]]'s trial before the princes. His accusers were the priests and false prophets. But [[Jeremiah]] had friends among the princes, especially one named Ahikam, who saved him from [[death]]. The threat against [[Jeremiah]]'s life was due to his having predicted that the Temple would be destroyed. All classes of people rejected the truth and persecuted the [[prophet]]. Verses 12-24 record [[Jeremiah]]'s brave defense and deliverance.
		+
		+	In chapters 27 and 28 [[Jeremiah]] actually put a yoke, like those worn by oxen, on his neck for an illustration to the people. He then went about the city saying that thus shall [[Babylon]] put a yoke on the necks of this people. One of the false prophets, Hananiah, broke the yoke (chapter 28:10) and as a punishment died within two months (verse 17).
		+
		+	In chapter 29 [[Jeremiah]] writes a letter of comfort to the exiles. It was written after Jehoiachin, and the best of the people, had been taken to [[Babylon]]. He advised them to be peaceful and obedient captives, and promised them a return to their homeland after 70 years (verse 10). But even in [[Babylon]] the false prophets kept up their fight against [[Jeremiah]].
		+
		+	The devil never stops working--he is working day and night to accomplish that confusion that brings forth the deterioration of a home, nation, or anything else. The devil knows well that a house divided against itself cannot stand, and a nation divided against itself will surely crumble. Thus the false prophets, even in captivity, continued their fight against [[Jeremiah]].
