Thread: What does this prophecy mean, when is it fulfilled and what is your opinion about it?

“However, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when men will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out OF ALL THE COUNTRIES WHERE HE HAD BANISHED THEM.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their forefathers.” (Jeremiah 16:14, 15)

The UN declared Israel "a Nation" in 1948.

I believe it's a reference to the Jews going back to the holy land, however, prophecies in the bible are not real. If something comes true, it's only because people are doing what the bible says.

Yes, that´s why things have accelerated in the last sixty years in the world, with technology, with secularism, and in further rejection of Christianity. Many prophecies are accelerating and intensifying, which of itself is a witness, of this world´s sins becoming exceedingly sinful.

That's definatley a marker to the "great day of the Lord" but the question is.. Did God miracously gather His people on wings of eagles and send them back to the holy land. Or did men take a bunch of peopole that they thought were jews and bus them to palestine? Is this the legimate restoring of Isreal or a false call? The quote is from a time in the new kingdom which doesn't seem to have been astablished yet.

It means that God/Jesus did not see the scattering of the Jewish people.


I do not ever see all the Jews going back to live in Israel. The vast majority are quite happy living where they are.

Yet future, it's all 12 tribes, not just Judah.

The trouble with prophecies is that they can mean whatever you want them to mean. This is in English too remember, maybe it would be clearer in the original.
