JEREMIAH 31:31-34: A COVENANT FOR CHILDREN - EXPLORING THEOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS IN THE ISRAELI-PALESTINE CONFLICT

Abstract

The passage from Jeremiah 31:31-34 is a significant and well-known text within the Book of Jeremiah, discussing the establishment of a new covenant by God with the houses of Israel and Judah. Through the lens of an allegorical covenant relationship, the essay offers insights into the responsibilities incumbent upon all parties involved, especially in safeguarding the well-being and future of children affected by geopolitical struggles. The examination extends beyond mere textual analysis, connecting the covenantal promises with the historical context of the Babylonian exile and addressing contemporary implications, such as the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
