The Prophet Jeremiah, though not as much as Isaiah, certainly tells about the Millennium.

Today’s Paragraph is a prime example …

“36 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; 37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: 38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: 39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: 40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. 41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. 42 For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.” Jeremiah 32:36-42

God’s judgment on His people, clearly seen!

But ultimately followed by God restoration and blessings!

All He has promised, He will do!

“This city,” Jerusalem of course.

Verse 36 contains “history written in advance!” Also known as Bible “prophecy!”

Jeremiah wrote these words prior to Judah’s fall to Babylon. And to Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar) it did fall!

Verse 37 depicts the regathering of Israel! Miraculously, from the corners of the earth. Diaspora, reversed! (“This place,” still Jerusalem I suspect.)

Then in verse 38 it happens … the salvation of Israel! Has to be … “And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” A nation “born again,” as it were.

A redemption that lasts for generation upon generation! “And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.” Verses 39-40, King James Version. (“Fruit that remains,” Jesus would say.)

Then come the blessings … “Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.” Millennial Blessings abundantly provided, verse number 41.

Lastly … “For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.”(Verse 42)

Every Promise!

“This great evil,” the Babylonian captivity.

“All the good,” the (as of today) yet future Millennium!

A thousand years of blessings!

“Showers of them,” Ezekiel 34:26.

— Dr. Mike Bagwell

“And I (the Lord) will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.” Ezekiel’s words!

Amen!
