The Interpretation of the Symbolic Action
33: 1-26
587 BC at the end of the eleven-year reign of Zedekiah
Jeremiah interprets his ninth symbolic action of buying a field in Anathoth (to see link click Fs – Jeremiah Buys a Field). This chapter is divided into two sections. First, the near historical restoration of Judah seen in 33:1-14. The futility of resistance to Babylon is again stressed, and the promise of a return from captivity is repeated. Second, the far eschatological restoration of the united nation of Isra’el is seen in 33:15-26.
