MORE MESSAGES FOR ZEDEKIAH In some respects the most important chapter here is the first, which deals with Babylon’s supremacy, and reveals the beginning of “the times of the Gentiles,” or “the fulness of the Gentiles” (Romans 11:25 ). The term refers to the period when Israel, because of her disobedience to God, has forfeited her place of power in the earth and is scattered among the nations. It begins when God transfers this power to the Gentiles as represented by Babylon, and continues... read more
Correction In Measure Jer 30:11 This is a wonderful chapter. The Lord here takes the case of Zion into his own hand. He states both sides of it in a most distinct and pathetic manner. He determined to bring again the captivity of Israel and Judah, and to give to his offending people the land which they had forfeited. The element of changefulness is seen to operate with amazing activity in the mind and rule of the Most High where human sin and human repentance are concerned. He will do certain... read more
I do not presume to decide, but I would humbly propose a subject of enquiry, and in answer to this question, whether a man doth travail with child, I would say, is not the miraculous conception and incarnation of the Lord Jesus referred to? None but Jesus travailed in birth for souls: and his sold agonies were great indeed. To none but Him, could that promise refer, Isaiah 53:11 . And that Christ the Messiah, for the David here mentioned is spoken of, is abundantly evident, for David king of... read more
Strangers. Idols. The people were not so prone to worship them. Yet the Jews were almost constantly subject to foreigners (Calmet) despectissima pars servientium, Macedonibus invalidis....sibi ipsis reges imposuere. (Tacitus, Hist. 5.) --- Christ granted a more perfect liberty to the faithful, John viii. 33. (Calmet) read more
1-11 Jeremiah is to write what God had spoken to him. The very words are such as the Holy Ghost teaches. These are the words God ordered to be written; and promises written by his order, are truly his word. He must write a description of the trouble the people were now in, and were likely to be in. A happy end should be put to these calamities. Though the afflictions of the church may last long, they shall not last always. The Jews shall be restored again. They shall obey, or hearken to the... read more
The Promise of Deliverance v. 1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, being given him by special and direct inspiration, saying, v. 2. Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel, His very words being recorded, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book, the prophecy thus inscribed on a roll becoming a part of the sacred record of the Bible. v. 3. For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will bring again the captivity of My people Israel and Judah,... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 30:1-24
The Glorious Future of the Nation (30-31) CHAPTER 30 1. The time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:1-11 ) 2. Zion’s desperate condition and the promise of deliverance (Jeremiah 30:12-17 ) 3. Restoration and glory (Jeremiah 30:18-24 ) Jeremiah 30:1-11 . The critics have made havoc with this great prophecy. De Wette, Hitzig, and other rationalists, claim to have discovered that this chapter, and those which follow, are the work of the spurious “second Isaiah.” The critics, with their... read more
