d16 Jeremiah 30-39

Read Jeremiah 30-39 in the bible
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2030&version=WEB
Jeremiah points to Christ in the oracles of salvation (Jer 30-33); these are written in poetic language.You will recognize this form whenever you see these elements:
(1) reference to the future,
(2) mention of radical change, and
(3) mention of blessing
After reading the rest of Jeremiah, does it make you appreciate these passages more? Can we apply the warnings of Jeremiah to us as a group today or are these only relevant during Jeremiah's time?
Jeremiah is both a prophet and a priest, yet what happens to him after verse 33?
