The Restoration Of Israel – Jeremiah – Part 8 – Chapter 33:14 – The Salvation Of All Israel – Some People Deny Their Future! Series

THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL – JEREMIAH – PART 8 – Chapter 33:14 – THE SALVATION OF ALL ISRAEL – SOME PEOPLE DENY THEIR FUTURE!

WE ARE NOW COMING TO A VERY IMPORTANT SECTION THAT IS COMPREHENSIVE IN ITS SCOPE, AND ONE WE WILL CONSIDER CAREFULLY. The commentary in examining the verses is longer than normal.

Those who don’t support the restoration of Israel in line with Romans 11 and all the prophetic books of the Old Testament usually fail in one, or more, or in all areas I am going to list:

(1). They have been brought up in churches where there was either a scant interest in the Old Testament prophetic books; or in prophecy itself.

(2). They have never been exposed to the exegetical teaching of the bible. That creates ignorance in the consistency of scripture.

(3). They belong to groups (churches/denominations) strongly opposed to prophetic Israel. These include quite a large number of churches actually. I term that false teaching but I am opposed for saying that. I know that! I call only for fair examination of the scriptures, comparing scripture with scripture.

(4). Sadly some people show little interest in the Old Testament. After all, these scriptures were the inspired word of God used by the early Church for its first 200 years.

(5). It is a sad indictment on our education system where more and more people won’t take the time to examine or to study anything much. It is all a quick flit from one social media site to another on mobile/cell phones. We live in a rapidly changing society – and the decline of the church.

{{Jeremiah 33:14 “Behold, DAYS ARE COMING,” declares the LORD, “when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH.

Jeremiah 33:15 In those days and at that time I will cause A RIGHTEOUS BRANCH OF DAVID TO SPRING FORTH, and He shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.}}

A FULLER CONSIDERATION OF JEREMIAH 33:14 - BRITISH ISRAELISM AND REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY

Jeremiah 33:14 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah.”

This is an extremely important verse but not one in isolation, because the prophets speak frequently (hundreds and hundreds of times) about the blessings that lie ahead for the whole of Israel even though they were split into two kingdoms. Interestingly, Jeremiah writes a lot on the two parts of the division, but always teaching that they will come together as one with one blessing from God. They will be one nation united. This will be a fairly lengthy explanation for this verse.

Remember that nearly 130/40 or so years had passed from the time of Ephraim’s destruction until Jeremiah penned these words. I use Ephraim, Samaria, and Israel (the Northern Kingdom) interchangeably as the prophets do the same thing. It was the home originally of the 10 tribes after the split caused by a very stupid Rehoboam. Once Assyria conquered Ephraim that kingdom was dispersed, some of them going to Assyria, a good number integrating into Judah and the remainder dispersed throughout surrounding nations, but NOT as a group moving from one place to another.

Nebuchadnezzar oversaw the destruction of Judah/Jerusalem around 587 BC when he deported Jews to Babylon, but others were left in the land and yet others scattered through some neighbouring nations. Judah rebuilt itself and continued as Judah, (but in recent times became known as Israel) but in AD 70 Israel itself was savaged by the Romans and the people dispersed through the Roman Empire. Thus we have the great dispersions from the Assyrian, Babylonian and Roman invasions. These resulted in the diaspora, the scattering of God’s earthly people all over the earth.

All the Prophets speak of an ingathering of Israel in the days to come. We have covered this extensively so far in Isaiah and Jeremiah. The Lord recalls them from the four corners of the earth and the redeemed nations will assist in getting the Jewish saints, saved in the Tribulation, back to Israel/Jerusalem. I won’t revise all those passages already done, but will again quote one small passage – {{Isaiah 43:5-6 Do not fear for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth.”}} In fact the major references to the restoration of Israel, are to the time when God gathers His people, and the blessing He has prepared for them in the land.

Looking again at the verse we are considering – {{Jeremiah 33:14 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will fulfil the GOOD WORD which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah.}}
