The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 30:2

Scripture-the written Word of God. Jeremiah was required to write his prophecy in a book. Israel had received the Law first by a voice of thunder, but the voice was followed by the writing on the tables of stone ( Exodus 34:1 ). St. John was commanded to write his vision in a book ( Revelation 1:11 ). Without definite commands of this character, prophets and apostles, historians and evangelists, have committed to writing what they knew and taught. Thus we have a written revelation, a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:1

In Jer. 30–39, not all written at the same time, are gathered together whatsoever God had revealed to Jeremiah of happier import for the Jewish people. This subject is “the New covenant.” In contrast then with the rolls of Jehoiakim and Zedekiah, we here have one containing the nation’s hope. A considerable portion was written in the 10th year of Zedekiah, when famine and pestilence were busy in the city, its capture daily more imminent, and the prophet himself in prison. Yet in this sad... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 30:2

Write ... in a book - To be read and meditated upon by them in private. This makes it exceedingly probable that the date of these two chapters was also the 10th year of Zedekiah, immediately after the purchase of the field from Hanameel.All the words - i. e., the scroll was to be a summary of whatever of hope and mercy had been contained in previous predictions. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 30:1

Jeremiah 30:1. The word that came to Jeremiah, &c. “There is no particular date annexed to this prophecy, whereby to ascertain the precise time of its delivery, but it may not unreasonably be presumed to have followed immediately after the preceding one, in which the restoration of the people from their Babylonish captivity is in direct terms foretold. From hence the transition was natural and easy to the more glorious and general restoration that was to take place in a more distant... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 30:2-3

Jeremiah 30:2-3 . Thus speaketh the Lord, Write thee all the words that I have spoken, &c. The following words contain a promise of the restoration of God’s people. These God commands to be committed to writing for the use of posterity, to be a support to the Jews, an encouragement to them to trust in God, and a proof of his prescience and overruling providence when the event foretold should be brought about. I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah The people... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 30:1-24

Disease, suffering and healing (30:1-24)Although he has been prophesying the captivity of Judah, Jeremiah knows also that after seventy years the people will return to their homeland. A theme of hope and encouragement runs through the next few chapters (30:1-3).The suffering of God’s people will almost be more than they can bear, but God assures them that it will not last indefinitely (4-7). He will release them from bondage and give them independence and peace under the rule of the Davidic... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 30:1

JEREMIAH 30ALL ISRAEL RESTORED UNDER MESSIAHThis and the following three chapters are called by some "The Book of Consolation"; but for our study, it is just as well to consider the chapters independently as they appear in the text. While true enough that there is indeed a concentration in these four chapters of many glorious prophecies for Israel, these glorious prophecies are by no means limited to these chapters. Jeremiah 29:10-14 (of the previous chapter) is but one example.Cheyne mentioned... read more
