Jeremiah 30: Restauration with the King

 In Jeremiah 30 we read:

1-2 This is the Message Jeremiah received from God: “God’s Message, the God of Israel: ‘Write everything I tell you in a book.

3 “‘Look. The time is coming when I will turn everything around for my people, both Israel and Judah. I, God, say so. I’ll bring them back to the land I gave their ancestors, and they’ll take up ownership again.’”

The Lord says that He will bring his people (Israel and Judah) back to the Promised Land.

8 ‘It shall come about on that day,’ declares the Lord of armies, ‘that I will break his yoke from [b]their necks and will tear to pieces [c]their restraints; and strangers will no longer make [d]them their slaves. 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.

Was this prophecy fulfilled in Esdras or Neheemiah ages? Although Judah (and Israel) returned to the Promised Land, they were not free. Did they serve the Lord and David their king? No. It will be fulfilled when Jesus return.

The Lord promises restoration with the King:

21 [m]Their leader shall be one of them,
And [n]their ruler will come out from [o]their midst;
And I will bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For [p]who would dare to risk his life to approach Me?’ declares the Lord.
22 ‘You shall be My people,
And I will be your God.’”

Jesus is the One who dared to risk his life to approach the Lord.
