The Suffering Servant and the Conquering King
Jeremiah was a prophet beginning around 627 B.C. during the reign of Josiah. His ministry continued until about 586 B.C. and he served under four other kings primarily in the northern kingdom of Judah; Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. God called Jeremiah in the 13th year of Josiah’s reign. This call can be found in scripture in Jeremiah 1:4, and during this calling, God told Jeremiah that he must say whatever God commanded him to say and reassured Jeremiah not to be afraid, that He, God, would be with him.

In Jeremiah 31:31-34 he begins to speak the word of God regarding a new covenant that God would bring. Jeremiah has been preaching about the Babylonians having victory over the Israelites/Judahites and that they would be taken in captivity to Babylon where they would remain for quite some time. But this is not the message the people wanted to hear, and others were saying no they would not be defeated, and no it would just be for a couple years and then they would be back.

Because of this the hearts of people will desire to be obedient and live their lives according to God’s laws and purposes. (Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:22-24) And we know this servant to ultimately be the Lord Jesus

Often people have so divorced the reading of the text from what was happening at the time, which here, I think Jesus is giving these really pointed parables and I think giving them these images of do you want to participate in a new kind of world? … .They were part of an entire religious establishment that was part of the problem, exploiting the poor, dehumanizing people and I think he’s using very strong, very pointed hyperbolic language to say to them, “Turn your thinking around. Turn your actions around or you’re going to miss this fresh new thing that God is doing.

In unit three, this new generation of Israelites finally prepares to enter the promised land as a free‐born national entity. The main concern of this unit is the long-term stability of God’s presence in the community, as God punishes any other divine being who might threaten his place after his people’s establishment in the promised land. The main story of this unit is the story of Balak and Balaam (Numbers 22-24). At the close of the forty-year wandering, Balak, the king of Moab, becomes alarmed of the Israelites’ intention of possessing the promised land and induces diviner Balaam to curse the Israelites. Balaam sends back the word that he can only do what God commands, and he ultimately ends up blessing the Israelites instead, forcing Balak to retreat.
