You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. Jer 29:13.

How do you think the OT saints understood this?

How do you as an Arminian understand this?

How do you as a Calvinist understand this?
 

Jeremiah 29:12-14 "When you call out to me and come to me in prayer, I will hear your prayers. When you seek me in prayer and worship, you will find me available to you. If you seek me with all your heart and soul, I will make myself available to you," says the LORD. "Then I will reverse your plight and will regather you from all the nations and all the places where I have exiled you," says the LORD. "I will bring you back to the place from which I exiled you."
Who is the "you"?

None other than the elect

I’m still thinking on this part.

How do you as an Arminian understand this?
I think Arminians, the lost sinner, if he seeks God (which is something he cannot do) and continues to with all his heart (again, he cannot) he will find God.
How do you as a Calvinist understand this?
Being a Calvinist, I understand this as. When regenerated we receive a new heart, and once we do, we become God seekers and can seek God with our whole (new) heart.
