Jeremiah

Key-word, “Warning;” Key-verse, 7:28; 46:1.-This book of bold rebuke toward Judah, and prediction against Gentile nations, is the trumpet blast of a reformer in the ears of a perverse people, to whom twenty chapters of argument and appeal are vainly addressed. Here Messiah appears as The Branch, the King on David’s throne, the Lord our Righteousness; typically in Jeremiah himself, coming with a rejected message of repentance and salvation. [p. 59] HBS 39.4
