Theme 1: Disobedience and rebellion against the Lord results in judgement. Jeremiah noted that as a result of their disobedience , Jerusalem was mocked and dispised among the nations. ( 1:8). Their rebellion against the Lord's commands resulted in judgement(1:18) and through compromising on their worship practices , they were punished (2:22). The Lord disciplined them to correct them and to bring them back to himself. (3:1-3).
Theme 2: The Lord will restore those whom he has disciplined and judged. Jehovah in his mercy , loves each person and does not want to punish people without reason but seeks to correct us. ( 3:21-33). The Lord's intention of the exile is to draw the nation back to the relationship they had with him before. ( 5:21).
