We Will Serve JESUS, The Mighty SON Of GOD Forever





Jeremiah 30:1-24 NIV








Restoration of Israel





1This Is The WORD That Came to Jeremiah from The LORD: 

2“This Is What The LORD, The GOD of Israel, Says: 



‘Write in a book all the WORDS I Have Spoken to you. 


3The 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 ancestors to possess,’ 


Says The LORD.”



4These are The WORDS The LORD Spoke concerning Israel and Judah: 


5“This Is What The LORD Says:



“ ‘Cries of fear are heard—

terror, not peace.

6Ask 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?

7How awful that day will be!

No other will be like it.


It will be a time of trouble for Jacob,

but he will be saved out of it.


8“ ‘In that day,’ 

Declares The LORD ALMIGHTY,



‘I Will Break the yoke off their necks

and Will Tear Off their bonds;

no longer will foreigners enslave them.


9 Instead, they will serve The LORD their GOD

and David their KING,

WHOM I Will Raise Up for them.





 
10“ ‘So Do Not Be Afraid, Jacob MY servant;

Do Not Be Dismayed, 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.


11I AM With you and Will Save you,’

Declares The LORD.


‘Though I Completely Destroy all the nations

among which I Scatter you,







I Will Not Completely Destroy you.

I Will Discipline you but only in due measure;

I Will Not Let you go entirely unpunished.’


12“This Is What The LORD Says:


“ ‘Your wound is incurable,
your injury beyond healing.
13There is no one to plead your cause,
no remedy for your sore,
no healing for you.
14All 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.
15Why do you cry out over your wound,
your pain that has no cure?
Because of your great guilt and many sins
I Have Done these things to you.
16“ ‘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.


17But 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.’


18“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.
19From 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.
20Their children will be as in days of old,
and their community will be established before ME;
I Will Punish all who oppress them.
21Their 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.




22“‘So you will be MY people,
and I Will Be your GOD.’ ”
23See, the Storm of The LORD
Will Burst Out in Wrath,
a driving wind swirling down
on the heads of the wicked.
24The 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.














This chapter contains a prophecy of the call and conversion of the Jews in the latter day; which being a matter of moment and importance, and that it might continue, and be read hereafter, it is ordered to be written in a book, Jeremiah 30:1; the thing itself is expressed by a return from captivity to their own land, Jeremiah 30:3; but previous to this there would be most dreadful times, as never were the like, Jeremiah 30:4; yet there would be a deliverance from them, and from the yoke of the oppressor; when the Jews should serve The LORD GOD, and The True MESSIAHJeremiah 30:8; of which deliverance and salvation they are assured in the strongest terms, though all other nations should be made an end of, among whom they were, Jeremiah 30:10; and though their ease might seem to be desperate, Jeremiah 30:12; nevertheless they should be brought into a very comfortable and happy estate; their city rebuilt; their offspring increased; and religious worship established; and, above all, The MESSIAH Should Be Made Known to them as their KING and PRIEST, and they appear to be The LORD'S Covenant people, Jeremiah 30:18; and the chapter is concluded with threatening utter destruction to the wicked, Jeremiah 30:23.
