“At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.” Jeremiah 3:17-18
Yes, Jeremiah follows Isaiah in more ways than one!
Not just chronologically, or its placement in the (English) Bible, but in theology as well, eschatology. Specifically in reference to teaching us about he Millennium.
The two verse Text above is nearly self-explanatory.
The Lord’s very throne … will then (during the Millennium) be in Jerusalem!
And the (what’s left of them after Armageddon) nations will come there to worship!
And sin/evil (by and large) will be vanquished, or at least suppressed. (There one more final rebellion coming at the end of the Millennium when Satan is loosed for a spell.)
And Judah and Israel will again be reunited! The “North” and the “South” no longer at enmity! Jesus is the “Prince of Peace” indeed!
Migrating back to Israel (the Land God gave them) from points north! (Russia, for example.)
What a golden set of Promises!
And no doubt, when the Jews are being persecuted (as never before) during the Tribulation … when anti-Christ is trying to massacre them wholesale … verses like these will be a Mainstay to their faith.
Do remember that 144,000 preachers will have been loosed on earth, witnessing for our Lord, truth tellers in an age of confusing lies!
And God will bless their efforts with fruit, with souls saved!
And surely … while many of these new believers will be martyred for Christ’s Sake, simply because they have professed His Name … they will treasure the Word of God in their hearts as long as they do live.
All Christians do that!
Promises, the Bible is full of them!
A great old Preacher used to say, “We Christians do not live our lives on explanations! We live our lives on Promises!”
Some things we will never understand, not down here on earth.
But we can always lean on (believe in) the Promises God has given us!
Jeremiah 3:17-18 … amazing!
