The New Exodus is Now: Jeremiah 16:14-21
In Jeremiah 16, God introduces the idea that, after the Exile’s Judgment is completed, He will lead Israel back in a kind of New Exodus, a return from Exile.
Jesus in Luke 5 lets His disciples know that He has come, in part, to finish the judgment, and then also to lead that New Exodus.
This means that we may be reconciled with God. But it also means that we have a responsibility to encourage others toward reconciliation too, as Paul describes in 2Corinthians 5.
