## When redirection is needed Reread the introduction to Lesson 4 as a reminder of why the prophet Jeremiah was called to preach to the nation of Judah and Jerusalem. Jeremiah told the people to establish homes and lives because they would be held captive for 70 years. Chapters 30 and 31 are the prophet’s message to the people about the eventual restoration of Israel. Jeremiah said, “The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will bring my people Israel and Judah back from captivity and restore them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess,’ says the Lord” (30:3). Jeremiah preached about the judgment the people would experience but also offered the hope of a new direction they would be offered. But not everyone experienced the restoration. God was going to establish a new covenant with his people, but not all would be willing to follow that new direction.
