The New Covenant

[jenny1972]

Xtians should really stop telling jews how to be jews.  It's insulting.

Again, let us look at the first verse of our passage from Jeremiah 31:31-34:
Behold, the days come, saith the Etrnl, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah.
This is considered a prophecy because of the first words of the verse, 'Behold, the days come, saith the Etrnl.' However, immediately before these few verses that begin with verse 31, there are additional verses that also begin the exact same way, with the words, 'Behold, the days come, saith the Etrnl.' When Christians refer to Jeremiah 31:31-34, they are leaving out half of the prophecy because the whole prophecy actually begins with verse 27. As you will read, when one looks at the whole prophecy of Jeremiah 31:27-34, this passage could not be referring to Christianity at all. Here is the whole passage:
Behold, the days come, saith the Etrnl, I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast. And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Etrnl. In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. Behold, the days come, saith the Etrnl, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them, declares the Etrnl. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Etrnl. I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their Gd, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, Know the Etrnl, because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Etrnl. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.
These verses are, indeed, speaking of the Messianic age, however, they are not speaking of the coming of Jesus and Christianity.
Verse 27 speaks of a time when the House of Israel is reunited with the House of Judah, and when they increase in size as well as in resources.

But the scrotum-twisting that xtians engage in with this shit is amusing.  Rabbi Stu invites emails, G-C.  Maybe you should contact him?
