Toward the latter part of his prophecies, he reaches out to the days and times of the restoration under Christ, in which the remnant of literal Israel who were faithful then were used as the type of Israel under the new covenant. In chapter 31 he predicts the new covenant. And those who are in that new covenant are not mere formal worshipers; they have God's law written in the heart and spirit. Over and over he tells us in different figures of the coming of Christ. From chapter 46 onward the prophecies deal with the kingdoms surrounding Israel. Egypt, Philistia, Moab, Ammon, Edom, Syria, Babylon, all come before the prophet's vision, and the doom of all is pronounced. In his prophecies concerning Babylon we can read the fate of Babylon the great prophesied in the book of the Revelation; for that Babylon of Jeremiah's day was a type of the great, mystical Babylon in our day.
