耶利米書 24:10 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

The good and bad figs. I. CONSIDER THE FIGS GENERALLY . We cannot, of course, say why figs should be chosen rather than another fruit, though the choice can hardly be a mere accident. Some reason probably appeared to the observant of that time which we are without sufficient information to discover. Possibly the goodness of good fruits was more obvious against the badness of bad ones, in the case of the fig than in the case of other fruits. It is to be noticed also that the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 24:10

Sword, famine, and pestilence. I. TROUBLE BEGETS TROUBLE . War devastating the fields, checking industry, robbing stores, etc; leads to famine; famine and war create horrible causes of pestilence. Trouble does not tend to relieve itself, but the reverse. The poor become poorer, the wretched more miserable. Hence the need of a salvation outside ourselves. II. TROUBLE IS CUMULATIVE . The full force is not often felt at first. One by one the blows fell upon Job. Thus each is... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 24:4-10

The complete fulfillment of this prophecy belongs to the Christian Church. There is a close analogy between Jeremiah at the first destruction of Jerusalem and our Lord at the second. There the good figs were those converts picked out by the preaching of Christ and the Apostles; the bad figs were the mass of the people left for Titus and the Romans to destroy.Jeremiah 24:5Acknowledge ... for their good - Specially their spiritual good. Put a comma after Chaldaeans.Jeremiah 24:8That dwell in the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 24:8-10

Jeremiah 24:8-10. As the evil figs so will I give Zedekiah Or rather, so will I make Zedekiah, as אתן should be rendered here, and as the same verb is rendered Jeremiah 29:17. And they that dwell in the land of Egypt Whither, it is probable, many of the Jews had fled upon the coming, or the report of the coming, of the king of Babylon: see chap. 43., 44. I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms, &c. The Lord, by his prophet, uses the words of Moses, wherewith to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Good and bad figs (24:1-10)On the occasion of Babylon’s attack on Jerusalem in 597 BC, the king Jehoiachin (Jeconiah) was taken captive to Babylon, along with the best of Judah’s people. The people that Babylon did not want were left in Judah and placed under the control of Zedekiah, the new king appointed by Babylon (2 Kings 24:10-17). Jeremiah’s vision of two baskets of figs was concerned with these events (24:1-3).The people left behind in Jerusalem thought that they had God’s approval,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 24:10

The Lord would send war and its accompanying disasters-famine and disease-on those of them still in the land, until they perished (cf. Jeremiah 21:7). Initial fulfillment came in 586 B.C. (cf. Deuteronomy 28:25; Deuteronomy 28:37), and an even more extensive one followed in A.D. 70 (cf. Matthew 23:38)."The natural reaction to the fate of the captives deported in 597, and to the good fortune of those who were left behind, was to see the former as God’s throw-outs, the bad figs; and to see the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 24:1-10

The Two Baskets of FigsThe evil figs were such of the people as had not been carried away with Jehoiachin to Babylon after the first siege of Jerusalem, 597 b.c., but had failed to draw any warning from the fate that had overtaken their brethren. Those who had been made captives, on the other hand, should yet be the subjects of God’s love and grace. The ripening time for both baskets was over, but here the likeness between them ceased.1.
