Although all other nations may come to an end, Israel will survive v.11.Jeremiah 30:11XWaiting for response Israel were punished.v.11Jeremiah 30:11XWaiting for response and God used other nations to administer this punishment, but afterwards these nations were brought to a full end. For example, Babylon itself was so completely destroyed that experts in later times declared it had never existed! Likewise, Hitler conquered almost the whole of Europe, murdered millions of Jews, and declared his Nazi empire would last a thousand years, but within a few years it was completely destroyed. God will certainly carry out his declared purpose with Israel. He will bring again their captivity and rebuild Jerusalem on its ancient site.v.18Jeremiah 30:18XWaiting for response He will make them rejoice and will glorify them, v.19Jeremiah 30:19XWaiting for response appoint Jesus and the saints over them as governors,v.21Jeremiah 30:21XWaiting for response and make himself their God and they his people.v.22Jeremiah 30:22XWaiting for response History, sadly, testifies to the fierce anger of the LORD, but it will not last for ever. In the latter days, soon to come, it will cease when he has performed the intents of his heart.v.24Jeremiah 30:24XWaiting for response
Verses 1-10
Jeremiah 30:1-10XWaiting for responseJeremiah lived through the distressing times when the Jews were afflicted by the Babylonians and taken captive, but he was reassured that God would ultimately bring all Israel back to the land. He was told to write this in a book v.2Jeremiah 30:2XWaiting for response for people to read and learn the purpose of God with Israel. He declared plainly that he would cause both Israel and Judah to return to the land,v.3Jeremiah 30:3XWaiting for response but he also informs us that this will occur in a period of intense persecution for the Jews.vs.4-7Jeremiah 30:4-7XWaiting for response It is called “the time of Jacob’s trouble”,v.7Jeremiah 30:7XWaiting for response out of which they will be saved v.8Jeremiah 30:8XWaiting for response to serve their king, Jesus, the greater son of David.v.9Jeremiah 30:9XWaiting for response Therefore we can anticipate a time of worldwide anti-semitism when the Jews will be persecuted almost everywhere. This will motivate them to leave all nations and return to the promised land and, although the Gentiles will try to prevent them, with God’s help they will be invincible.
