(Jeremiah
30)
This is the word
that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
This is what the
Lord, the God of Israel, says:
'Write in a book all
the words I have spoken to you.
The days are
coming,' declares the Lord,
'When I will bring
my people Israel and Judah back from captivity
And restore them to
the land I gave their forefathers to possess,' says the Lord.
These are the words
the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:
This is what the
Lord says:
'Cries of fear are
heard terror, not peace.
Ask and see:
Can a man bear
children?
Then why do I see
every strong man
With his hands on
his stomach like a woman in labor,
Every face turned
deathly pale?
HOW
AWFUL THAT DAY WILL BE!
None will be like
it.
IT
WILL BE A TIME OF TROUBLE FOR JACOB,
BUT
HE WILL BE SAVED OUT OF IT.'
'IN THAT DAY,'
declares the Lord Almighty,
'I will break off
the yoke off their necks
And will tear off
their bonds,
No longer will
foreigners enslave them.
Instead, they will
serve the Lord their God and David their king.
Whom I will raise up
for them.
So do not fear, O
Jacob my servant;
Do not be dismayed,
O Israel,' declares the Lord.
'I will surely save
you out of a distant place,
Your descendants
from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again
have peace and security,
And no one will make
him afraid.
I am with you and
will save you,' declares the Lord.
'THOUGH
I COMPLETELY DESTROY ALL THE NATIONS
AMONG
WHICH I SCATTER YOU,
I will discipline
you but only with justice;
I will not let you
go entirely unpunished.'
This is what the
Lord says:
'Your wound is
incurable, your injury beyond healing.
There is no one to
plead your cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you.
All your allies have
forgotten you:
They care nothing
for you.
I have struck you as
an enemy would and punished you as would the cruel,
Because your guilt
is so great and your sins so many.
Why do you cry out
over your wound, your pain has no cure?
Because of your
great guilt and many sins I have done these things to you.
BUT
ALL WHO DEVOUR YOU WILL BE DEVOURED;
All
your enemies will go into exile.
Those
who plunder you will be plundered;
All
who make spoil of you I will despoil.
But I will restore
you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the Lord,
'Because you are
called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.'
This is what the
Lord says:
'I will restore the
fortunes of Jacob's tents and have compassion on his dwellings;
The city will be
rebuilt on her ruins, and the palace will stand in its proper place.
From them will come
songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing.
I will add to their
numbers, and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them
honor, and they will not be disdained.
Their children will
be as in days of old,
And their community
will be established before me;
I WILL PUNISH ALL
WHO OPPRESS THEM.
Their leader will be
one of their own;
Their ruler will
arise from among them.
I will bring him
near and he will come close to me,
For who is he who
will devote himself to be close to me?'
Declares the Lord.
'So you will be my
people, and I will be your God.
See,
the storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath,
A
driving wind swirling down on the heads of the wicked.
The
fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back
Until
he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart.
In
days to come you will understand this.'
(Jeremiah
30)
In the End, Israel
will be Restored
Christ Jesus will
establish His Kingdom on Earth as in Heaven,
In Jerusalem, on Mount
Zion for a Thousand Years.
In the End, All the
Nations of the World are brought to Nothing,
Because they are All
Worthless, less than Nothing.
(Isaiah 40:15-17)
They Refused to love
the Truth but delighted in Wickedness.
(2 Thessalonians
2:1-12)
