As we learn in Jer 31:26, this word came to Jeremiah in his sleep (cp Heb 1:1, Da 10:9, Zech 4:1). Here is the Preacher's Outline and Sermon Bible outline for Jeremiah 30-33... The Messages of Comfort and Hope to God's People, Jeremiah 30:1-33:26 A. The Great Trial and Triumph of the Coming Days, Jer 30:1-24 B. The Great Gift of Restoration: A Picture of Reconciliation Between God and His Backsliding People, Jer 31:1-30 C. The Great Gift of a New Covenant: A Picture of Regeneration, of Being Given a New Heart, Jer 31:31-40 D. The Great Faith Needed in the Coming Days, Jer 32:1-44 E. The Absolute Surety of God's Promises in the Coming Days, Jer 33:1-26 This chapter introduces the section many commentators have referred to as "The Book of Consolation". Recall that the preceding 29 chapters have brought a primarily negative message, but this chapter is like a breath of fresh air, this pleasant prophecy proceeding from Jeremiah 30 through Jeremiah 33 with Jeremiah 30:3 serving essentially as a "summary" of this message of consolation. "A new day is about to dawn, and these chapters are filled with hope." (Michael Brown) E. W. Hengstenberg identifies Jeremiah 30-33 as “the grand hymn of Israel’s deliverance.” Jeremiah 30-33 expands on the famous hope filled words of Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare (shalom) and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." But as Jeremiah says in Jer 30:7 before the Jews will experience shalom, they must first endure a time of distress. As an aside it must be emphasized that most of the so-called "top rated" commentaries on Jeremiah (see here) fail to see a future fulfillment in Jeremiah 30 and specifically Jeremiah 30:7 "the time of Jacob's distress/trouble." Ryken for example literally completely passes by Jer 30:7 seven with no comment! Frankly this is shocking, given that it is the second rated commentary by Challies! Cundall writes that "Jeremiah 32:1-2 gives the time of this prophecy (Jer 30-33) and book - right before the final fall of Jerusalem. The historical context is clearly indicated in Jeremiah 32:1f. (cf. Jer 33:1). Jerusalem was in the final stages of an eighteen-month siege which ended with its destruction by the Babylonians. The situation, humanly speaking, could not have been darker, but at this very point God commands Jeremiah to speak out concerning the future." Warren
