Spiritual Integrated View (Key Point)
Jeremiah first touched God’s lovingkindness, compassions, and faithfulness, but he ended by
touching God’s person and His throne.
This shows that:
👉 God’s lovingkindness belongs to His heart,
but God’s administration belongs to His being; His heart may change in
expression, but His being never changes.
🗣 One-Sentence Prophesying Summary
God’s
lovingkindness comforts us, but God’s throne stabilizes us; His heart supports
us, and His administration fulfills His economy.
🏁 Ultimate Conclusion
In the New Jerusalem, God will be fully revealed not only
in His lovingkindness but in His eternal person and administration.
Our
ultimate reliance is not on God’s emotional expressions, but on:
👉 God Himself as the eternal King and His unshakable
kingdom.
