How much prophecy did Jeremiah understand (Jeremiah 23:5-6)?
Did Jeremiah know that he was prophesying about the Messiah? Or was his view limited to promises only as they applied to the physical renewal of Israel as in Jeremiah 30:3? Jeremiah 30:3 Restoration for Israel and Judah 3 For behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah, says the Lord, and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall take possession of it."
Jeremiah 23:1 - 40
NKJV - 1 Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!" says the LORD. 2 Therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel against the shepherds who feed My people: "You have scattered My flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings," says the LORD.
