the potter's house. Note the lesson, set to Jeremiah there: that Jehovah never mends what man has marred. He always substitutes something new. The interpretation belongs to "THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL", and, that being "marred", the new "nation" is to be substituted. See Matthew 21:43. Compare Romans 11:7; Ezekiel 36:25-28. The application belongs to:
(1) THE COVENANT (Deuteronomy 6:25), but it was marred (Jeremiah 31:32): for the New Covenant, see Hebrews 8:7-13.
(2) ORDINANCES, marred (Isaiah 1:11-14); new (Hebrews 10:6-9; Colossians 2:14; Colossians 2:17; Galatians 1:4; Galatians 1:3; Galatians 1:8-11).
(3) PRIESTHOOD (Hebrews 7:11-28).
(4) KING (2 Samuel 7:12-16). Compare Psalms 72.Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 11:1-9; Isaiah 32:1-8; Luke 1:31-33.
(5) MAN, marred (Genesis 3; Romans 8:7. Rom 17:9. Psalms 14:2; 2 John 1:3; 2 John 1:3; 2 John 1:3 :6); new (2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Corinthians 5:18).
(6) THE BODY, marred (Genesis 3; Hebrews 9:27); the new (1Co 15:35, 1 Corinthians 15:44; 1 Corinthians 15:46; 1 Corinthians 15:47).
(7) THE HEAVEN AND EARTH, marred (Genesis 3; 2 Peter 3:7); the new (2 Peter 3:13). Psalms 85:10; Psalms 85:13.Isaiah 65:17, &c.
(8) THE CHURCH, marred (2 Timothy 1:15 (compare Acts 19:10; Acts 20:29); Jeremiah 2:18; Jeremiah 3:8; Jeremiah 4:3; Jeremiah 4:4); new (Ephesians 2:20-22; Ephesians 4:4).
