We come this morning to Jeremiah's magnificent prophecy of the new covenant. As I told you last week, the new covenant actually existed before the old, for the old covenant is a copy of the new covenant. But though the new covenant as to substance existed prior to the old covenant, the name "new covenant" was first revealed in the prophecy of Jeremiah around the year 600 B.C., very close to the time when Israel was carried away into exile. At this time, as part of a larger series on the restoration that God would bring to Israel after the exile, Jeremiah prophesied about the new covenant that the LORD was going to make with the house of Judah and also with the long-vanished house of Israel. In other words, this covenant is going to be with all the people of God. The Hebrew writer quotes this prophecy in order to show us that Christ's new covenant ministry is superior to the Levitical ministry in at least seven ways. So let's dive in.
