Section 11
Jeremiah 3 And The Return
Jeremiah 3 is important because it speaks in the painful language of unfaithful
Israel and a certificate of divorce, but it also calls the backsliding children
to return.
This becomes a major discussion point. The study rejects the idea that Yahwah
permanently divorced the original people and replaced them with a new spiritual
people. The frame here is that the "putting away" was judgment and loss of
provision/protection, not a final destruction of Yahwah's restoration promise.
That argument needs careful scriptural development. It should not be reduced to
a slogan. The future child study can slow down in Jeremiah 3, Deuteronomy 24,
Hosea 2-3, and the "return" language.
