EXPOSITONS OF VARIOUS PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE FUTURE REGATHERING

“Jesus came to the whole nation; Israel as a nation rejected him. Jesus, as we read in the Gospel of Matthew, was taking leave of the whole nation. He spoke to the Pharisees; He spoke to the Herodians; He spoke to the Sadducees; and after having given, as it were, the last word unto each representative part of the Jewish nation, He sums up all in that heart-rending farewell: ‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children’ — the whole nation as a nation — ‘under My wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house shall be left unto you desolate.’

“But the farewell is not for ever. It is a farewell only for a given and definite period. ‘Ye shall not see Me, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord!’ The Saviour, ere He was crucified upon Golgotha, had in His own loving and sorrowing heart the living and assured hope that the same nation, which as a nation had rejected Him, would again as a nation welcome Him as the Messiah that cometh in the Name of the Lord. And after He had died upon the cross, and appeared again to His disciples, before He ascended up into heaven, He ratified to the apostles the promise that was given of old, that He would come and restore the kingdom to Israel.”[420] (Adolph Saphir, January 18, 1885)

“Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for the chief of the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say, ‘O LORD, save your people, the remnant of Israel.’” (Jeremiah 31:7)

This chapter consists of expositions of various prophecies that describe the future regathering of the survivors of “the time of Jacob’s trouble” to the Land. These passages reinforce the propositions set forth in the previous chapters concerning the preliminary return of the Jews to the modern day State. They also make clear the unequaled intensity of the time of Jacob’s trouble and the finality of the Age-ending restoration to “the bond of Covenant.”[421]

JEREMIAH 30:4-11

If the book of Jeremiah were a mountain range, chapters 30 through 33 would be the highest peaks. These incredible chapters focus entirely on the future restoration of Israel.

The prophecy of “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (about which this book was written) is found in Jeremiah 30:4-7. In those few verses (as we have seen in previous chapters) we are told of the horror of that future hour as well as the ultimate outcome: “Jacob will be saved out of it.”

“These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah: ‘Thus says the LORD: We have heard a cry of panic, of terror, and no peace. Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned
