This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

10.Until the time of reformation, etc. Here he alludes to the prophecy of Jeremiah. (Jer_31:31.) (145) The new covenant succeeded the old as a reformation. He expressly mentions meats and drinks, and other things of minor importance, because by these trifling observances a more certain opinion may be formed how far short was the Law of the perfection of the Gospel. (146)



(145) Although the original text in the book refers to Jer_31:37, which warns of an ultimate rejection of Israel; it would seem that Jer_31:31 is more appropriate in the current context of reformation. — fj. ]
