Jeremiah 30

“Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words
that I have spoken unto thee in a book. For, lo, the days come, saith the
LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,
saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to
their fathers, and they shall possess it,” verses 2,3. This return began with
the assembly of the Berlin Congress of Nations of 1878, out of which came the
Berlin Treaty of 1878, whereby Hebrew people could begin to own land in
Palestine. The Zionist movement led by Theodor Herzl, followed in the 1890’s,
one of the fishers of Jer. 16:16. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 committed the
British government to the creation of a Jewish (Hebrew) homeland in Palestine.
The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 placed England as the protectorate over the land
of Palestine, which ultimately helped pave the way for the Hebrew state of Israel
to come into existence in 1948.
”And these the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and
concerning Judah. For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of
trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man
doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on
his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of
Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” These words spoke of a
great trouble that the Hebrew people would experience, one that followed their
beginning of the possession of the land in our present era, land that was
promised to their fathers. What is this trouble? It is none other than what is now
called “The Holocaust.” Yes, this was Jacob’s trouble; “but he shall be saved
out of it,” and they have.
“For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, I will
break his (Hitler’s Germany) yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy (the
Hebrew peoples’) bonds, and strangers (the Gentile nations around) shall no
more serve themselves of him (Jacob): but they (the Hebrew people) shall
serve the LORD their God (some have been since the Holocaust), and David
their king, whom I will (note the future tense) raise up unto them. (They
will serve David, who represents their Messiah, but only after they know who He,
their Messiah, is.) “Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the
LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel (which continued fear and dismay could
easily have happened after the terrible trauma of the Holocaust): for, lo, I will
save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity (and just
such have we seen as the Hebrew people from around the world, in the lands of
their captivity, have returned to their homeland since then. This also was
foretold by Jeremiah in 16:14,15- “Therefore, behold the days come, saith the
LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children
of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The LORD liveth, that brought up the
children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he

had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their
fathers.” Note also that after this declaration, mention was made of fishers [Herzl
was one], and of hunters [Hitler was a chief one]. Both of these activities either
lured or drove the Hebrew people to their homeland. Jer. 16:16,17); and Jacob
shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make
afraid. For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee.”
At this point in the Scripture declaration, God introduces His intent upon the
nations wherein they had been scattered. We read, “though I make a full end
of all the nations wither I have scattered thee….” (As we look about, we
clearly see that this statement of the nations coming to an end has not yet been
accomplished as of February, 2018. However, it will be.) “...yet will I not
make a full end of thee (signaling that they would experience a measure of
destruction that would make an end of part of them, likely the disbelievers. See
Lule 19:27); but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee
altogether unpunished.”
“For (pointing backwards, because of something prior) thus saith the LORD,
Thy bruise is incurable (by your efforts), thy wound (from the Gentiles)
grievous. There is none to plead they cause (before Jehovah), that thou
mayest be bound up (bandaged for healing to occur): thou hast no healing
medicines (in your own possession that will work). All thy lovers (the nations
in close affiliation with her) have forgotten thee; they seek thee not (as
regards your welfare); for I (Jehovah) have (past tense) wounded thee with
the wound of an enemy (Hitler hated the Hebrew people), with the
chastisement of a cruel one (Hitler was especially cruel to them as a people by
means of the Concentration Camps), for the multitude of thine iniquity;
because they sins were increased. Why criest thou for thine affliction?
thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy
sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” (By the time
the Six Day War of ‘67 was over, there were those in Israel who believed their
victory was by their own doing. This viewpoint of self exaltation had not
developed overnight, but had been building through the decades since Petah
Tikvah in 1878 A.D. After they returned into the land and prospered; just as in
the days of old after Israel came into the promised land under Joshua’s leadership
and soon forgot their God and the blessings that He had brought to them; so
likewise here. Pride is an abomination to Jehovah, Pro. 6:16,17).
“Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine
adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity (From a past tense
perspective, Hitler’s Third Reich went into oblivion, and as the years passed after
the Holocaust, Israel hunted out the men that were involved in the work of
extermination of the Hebrew people under Hitler; many of whom, if not all, have
since been prosecuted. From a future tense perspective, Hamas and the
Palestinians will be punished); and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, (Gog,
Eze 38, will also come against Israel and will also be destroyed) and all that

prey upon thee will I give for a prey. For I will restore health unto thee,
and I will heal thee of thy wounds, (possible only by the work of their Messiah
during the Millennial Kingdom, under the New Covenant) saith the LORD;
because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man
seeketh after.”
“Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again (since the Holocaust) the
captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the
city shall be builded upon her own heap (Jerusalem), and the palace shall
remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed
thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply
them (Israel’s population is growing), and they shall not be few; I will also
glorify (honor) them, and they shall not be small.” (Who among the
inhabitants of earth can boast of the inventions that Israel can boast of? Israel
has indeed been honored as a leader in world technology. Subsequently they are
not small at all in that arena.) “Their children also shall be as aforetime,
and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish
all that oppress them. And their nobles (governing leaders as cabinet
members, etc.) shall be of themselves, and their governor (Prime Minister)
shall proceed from the midst of them; and I (Jehovah) will cause him to
draw near (to Me), and he shall approach unto Me (Jehovah):” (This
“governor” clearly speaks of Benyamin Netanyahu, the present Prime Minister of
Israel, who was of the midst of the “nobles” and further, who draws high to
Jehovah. When Netanyahu has a Bible study in his office, it is not for show.)
“...for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the
LORD. And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.”
Note now the change of scene.
“Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing
whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The
whirlwind, four winds coming together, Rev 7:1-3, has already begun in small
measure (Covid-19, severe drought in Africa), because the sealing of “the
servants of our God” into the Body of Christ has been accomplished as of March
31, 2018, which was the day of Passover. That whirlwind intensifies in
conjunction with the Feast of Weeks, 2020, and continues in duration. It further
increases in strength after the seven trumpets of Rev 8 are sounded, which is
followed by seven plagues, punishment, that follows the trumpet messages,
because few will heed the messages. The whirlwind is a descriptive term of God’s
Day of Vengeance.
“The fierce anger (based upon righteousness) of the LORD shall not return
(“My Word … shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I
please, and it shall prosper whereto I sent it.” Isa 55:11), until he have done,
and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye
shall consider it (and so we have!).”
