I Will Assuredly Plant Them in This Land
Today’s Text: Jeremiah 32:36-44
FOUNDATION

The Bible is the FOUNDATION for life.
The following prophecy made prior the Babylonian captivity assures a return to the land of Israel not only after the Babylonian captivity, but also after an even greater worldwide Diaspora. God promises to gather His Chosen People Israel out of all countries where they were dispersed.
The current return of Jewish people to the land of Israel is only a foretaste of the great fulfillment of this promise.
JEREMIAH 32:36-44
“Now therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, ‘It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence’:
‘Behold, I will gather them out of all countries where I have driven them in My anger, in My fury, and in great wrath; I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.
They shall be My people, and I will be their God; then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me.
Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’
“For thus says the LORD: ‘Just as I have brought all this great calamity on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them. And fields will be bought in this land of which you say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’”
‘Men will buy fields for money, sign deeds and seal them, and take witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captives to return,’ says the Lord.”
What a powerful reassurance of God’s faithfulness!
