God's New Throne
Commentators explain that Jeremiah prophesies a time when God's throne will no longer be the physical Ark of the Covenant, but Jerusalem itself. Many scholars see this fulfilled not in the earthly city alone, but in the Christian Church—the new 'heavenly Jerusalem.' God's tangible presence expands from a single object to encompass His entire redeemed community.
