JEREMIAH 30
GOD WILL BRING HEALING + RESTORATION TO JUDAH
God instructs Jeremiah to write down his prophecy related to the restoration of Israel. God promised that the Israelites would one day be brought back into the land of their ancestors. Because the people of Israel are the descendants of the twelve sons of Jacob, God refers to the Israelites as Jacob in this passage, showing how they will be unified and restored.
Instead of serving under a ruthless foreign king, God is planning to raise a new king from the line of David. Under the rule of this king, God’s people will be faithful and steadfast.
The Israelites would be scattered throughout surrounding nations, but those nations would also be destroyed. Although the Israelites will face trouble, they will ultimately be restored to peace and prosperity. God is reminding the Israelites of His promise to them in Deuteronomy 30:3.
