August 6, 2013 – Jeremiah 30

This is great language to hear if a person was in exile from their land.  Yes, they do come back, but it is not a glorified kingdom for long if at all.  The Greeks come in, then the Romans.  The language points to a restoration of what once was, but do they ever get back to that.  And when I think that way, I then try to imagine that the prophesy is really about Christ and what is to come after Him.  But, the language seems to describe kingdoms and prosperity here on Earth and that really isn’t the focus of Christ kingdom.  So then you move to consider that the prophet is talking about the Heavenly Kingdom to come that will end all other kingdoms.  Maybe that is what the focus is supposed to be, or maybe it is supposed to be revealing parts of all 3.  It seems very difficult to get what the prophet is trying to get at.  Have hope is the best way I can put it.
