• Talk 9, Moore College Queensland Conference 2004. Shead explores Jeremiah 30:1-31:22 on Israel's prophesied redemption and reversal despite their wickedness and impending judgement. Throughout the passage, several distinct poems of hope are examined. The preamble in 30:1-4 repeats a common motif of the writing down of prophetic words, reinforcing the future-focused message beyond the lifetime of Jeremiah. God promises to return the people back both physically into the land, and spiritually back to him. The first song (30:5-11) portrays a hopeful event against all odds. Hope will ultimately emerge from despair. The second song (12-17) describes an incurable injury and condition meted out upon Israel by God. Despite this condition, God promises a restoration and transformation for Israel. The third song (18-24) portrays God's future blessings for Israel and coming judgement. God's wrath accomplishes the blessings promised. The fourth song (31:1-6) describes God's unfailing love towards his people through the restoration of Israel. The fifth song (31:7-14) speaks to the return from exile and God's leadership over them. The sixth song (31:15-21) presents two images (Rachel and Ephraim) of a saved sinner.
