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 24:6-7

Prosperity restored. I. AFTER CHASTISEMENT HAS BEEN RIGHTLY RECEIVED , GOD LOOKS FAVORABLY ON HIS CHILDREN . He sets his "eyes upon them for good." Men shrink from the eyes of God as from a keen and fatal scrutiny. But God is not always looking as the Judge. He beholds his children with love. There is a wonderful tenderness in this gaze, like that of a mother fondly watching over her suffering infant—a deep pity for sorrow, an earnest care to ward off harm, a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 24:7

The conditions and relations of salvation. I. THE ABILITY TO KNOW GOD IS THE GIFT OF GOD . Not more facts, external, historical, etc; are required. Not a new Bible—the letter of the Bible is probably completed already. Nor even a new mode of spiritual demonstration. But a new heart. We cannot make a new heart. God will save us by renewing: 1. The moral nature . 2. The whole life through it . II. THE BLESSINGS OF SALVATION CAN ONLY BE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 24:7

A heart to know the Lord. It was "for good" that God sent the captive portion of his people "into the land of the Chaldeans" ( Jeremiah 24:5 .) The germs of the better life of the future were preserved in them, and their very tribulations were the instruments of his gracious purpose and blessings in disguise. In the "evil figs"—the refuse left behind—there was nothing worth preserving ( Jeremiah 24:8 ). Of all the beneficent Divine purposes, this had in it the promise of highest... 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 24:5-7

Jeremiah 24:5-7. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel Here the Lord explains the parable of the good figs, the figs first ripe. These represented the pious captives who were sent first into captivity, as if they had been first ripe for ruin; but who should prove first ripe for mercy, and their captivity should help to ripen them. Among these were Daniel and his companions, and also Ezekiel. The calamities inseparable from a state of captivity were calculated to humble them, and bring them 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

7. (Jeremiah 30:22; Jeremiah 31:33; Jeremiah 32:38). Their conversion from idolatry to the one true God, through the chastening effect of the Babylonish captivity, is here expressed in language which, in its fulness, applies to the more complete conversion hereafter of the Jews, "with their whole heart" (Jeremiah 29:13), through the painful discipline of their present dispersion. The source of their conversion is here stated to be God's prevenient grace. for they shall return—Repentance, though... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 24:7

God would give them a heart to know Him because, as Yahweh, He could do that. They would resume the covenant relationship as Chosen People with God, because the people would repent and return to God wholeheartedly.This change in the people only occurred partially during the Exile (cf. Jeremiah 29:4-7; 2 Kings 25:27-30). We believe that final fulfillment is yet future when Jesus Christ returns (cf. Jeremiah 31:31-34; Ezekiel 36:24-32; Matthew 24:29-31).
