It was saying that when it was first revealed to the Jews (See Jeremiah 31:31). Back then, God was saying, "The days are coming". But now it has been fulfilled, since Jesus came and come and established the New Covenant. Back in Jeremiah's day it had not yet started, but now it is well established. It is a matter of time perspective, don’t you see? It is like back in Genesis 3 when it was said that the seed of the woman would bruise the serpent’s head. In the process of time it has been accomplished. It is like when Joel said, "Whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved". When it was quoted in Acts 2:21 it was future for those listening, but it became present when they believed and called, in Acts 2:41. Someone can quote it, as Paul does in Romans 10:13, and it is future for those considering it. But once we call upon the name of the Lord, we are saved, and that makes it present. I have multiplied words here to try to make it clear and also to get in a word on behalf of the gospel. But the fact is New Covenant was future when Jeremiah spoke (and the writer to the Hebrews is quoting him) but the New Covenant has been established, and it is in force today. |

"Jesus came and come" means "Jesus has come". And he has established the New Covenant that Jeremiah saw ahead. When Jeremiah spoke, it had not yet started, but it is now in force. | ||||||
