No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”They will no longer each teach his neighbor, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

… I will put my law within them. I will write it on their hearts and I will be their God. They shall be my people. No longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother saying, know the Lord, for they shall all know me. From the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sin no more. Oh, there's so much here we don't have time to dive into. The big picture point is God is saying a new covenant is coming, a new way of relationship to me through which I'm gonna make it possible for all people to know me directly through a sacrifice once and for all for all their sins. This is a promise of what Jesus would do when he would come as our great high priest and he would offer his life as a sacrifice for all of our sin. So for non-Christian friends, especially who are with us today, visiting with us, we are so glad that you are here. …

It is a promise of the future salvation of Israel, a time when God will regenerate them, put His law within them, and on their heart write it, be their God and they will be His people. I will forgive their iniquity, their sin I will remember no more. That is the future salvation promise to the nation Israel specifically, unmistakably. That is the promise. I want you to see that promise in another context, Ezekiel 39, Ezekiel 39, verse 25. Therefore thus says the Lord God, Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob, referring to Israel, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for My holy name. …
… If I'm their God and they're my people, my law is on their heart. And they will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for they will all know Me. From the least of them to the greatest of them, declares the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will remember no more. When God forgives and God forgets sin, at the same time He gives a new heart, and He He writes the law in that new heart, and it is the law of the new man. This is repeated again. In the 32nd chapter of Jeremiah, verse 38, they shall be My people, and I will be their God. And I'll give them one heart and one way that they may fear Me always for their own good and for the good of their children after them. I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them to do them good, and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me." There's the doctrine of eternal security in Jeremiah. …
