Jeremiah 30:1 open_in_new
The word
The writings of Jeremiah in chapters 30 to 36, cannot with certainty be arranged in consecutive order. Certain dates are mentioned (for example (Jeremiah 32:1); (Jeremiah 33:1); (Jeremiah 34:1); (Jeremiah 34:8); (Jeremiah 35:1) but retrospectively. The narrative, so far as Jeremiah gives a narrative, is resumed at (Jeremiah 37:1). These chapters constitute a kind of summary of prophecy concerning Israel as a nation, looking on especially to the last days, the day of the Lord, and the kingdom-age to follow. If the marginal references are carefully followed the order will become clear. But these prophecies are interspersed with much historical matter concerning Jeremiah and his time.

Write
Three "writings" by Jeremiah are to be distinguished:
(1) This is impersonal -- a general prophecy, and probably the earliest. (Jeremiah 30:1-31); (Jeremiah 30:40).
(2) The prophecy destroyed by Jehoiakim. (Jeremiah 1:1-36); (Jeremiah 1:23).
(3) The destroyed writing re-written doubtless the writing preserved to us. (Jeremiah 36:27).
