Yahweh's promises for God's restored covenant people in Jeremiah 3:14-18 are Messianic prophecies that are only the universal Church of Jesus Christ fulfills.

He will take the faithful remnant that repents their sins and will return them to the spiritually renewed Zion of His Holy Church (Jer 3:14).
He will give them righteous shepherds (those in authority) to guide them (Jer 3:15).
There will be a new focus of worship in the new age of the Church (Jer 3:16).
The Church of the new age will be sealed by God's righteousness and will have authority over all nations (Jer 3:17).
The sign of the beginning of the fulfillment of these promises will be when the covenant people return from their exile in the northern lands (Jer 3:18).
