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.

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]].

August Scripture Portion for Bible Commentary : Isaiah 28 - Ezekiel 11, including the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations

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.

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.
