My Own Heart - Jeremiah 3:15-17

Jeremiah 3:15-17 ESV 
“‘And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. And when you have multiplied and been fruitful in the land, in those days, declares the Lord, they shall no more say, “The ark of the covenant of the Lord.” It shall not come to mind or be remembered or missed; it shall not be made again. At that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the Lord, and all nations shall gather to it, to the presence of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they shall no more stubbornly follow their own evil heart.

Israel will at last fulfill the mission of multiplying and being fruitful on the earth. In those days they will have no thought for the old covenant and will inhabit a new and whole Jerusalem. God will return to the city and the nations shall gather to it for worship. 

The heart of Jerusalem will be the presence of God.
