The Holy Spirit Jeremiah Knew

I've several thoughts about postings, first is this one which is a continuation of my study of the Holy Spirit flowing from the New Testament Book of Hebrews. More about that below. I also want to post on Signs and Wonders, and on Faith. Those will come later.

Hebrews 10: 15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them," 17 then He adds, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."

Two things we can conclude (other than the obvious that Hebrews in general is talking about the supremacy of Christ as our only sufficient High Priest). One is that the Holy Spirit is being quoted. The second is that the quotation comes from Jeremiah 31:33-34. Jeremiah's "Thus Says Lord" is a reporting of what the Holy Spirit has said. One could read it "Thus says The Holy Spirit." If you read then what the Holy Spirit says, it greatly expands our knowledge of His character. Of course He is one with God the Father and God the Son in the Trinity so He is not speaking of Himself

John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

The conclusion I have drawn is that when Jeremiah says thus says the Lord throughout the book, he is in fact saying thus says the Holy Spirit. What is important about this. It is important to expand our understanding of the Holy Spirit, to get Him out of our little "Dove" box. The Holy Spirit is truly a Holy and Awesome member of the Trinity. Gentle yes, but capable of great passion and even anger. Bringing comfort, but also judgement. Not so one dimensional after all.
