The Restoration of Isra’el and Judah Illustrated
32: 1-44

587 BC during the eleven-year reign of Zedekiah

This long passage seeks to find in the LORD’s resolve a way into the future for Isra’el and Judah, which had been estranged. But God always takes the first step toward redemption. Therefore, Jeremiah’s ninth symbolic act is central to this chapter (to see link click Fs Jeremiah Buys a Field). That specific act becomes a taproot of reflection and generates a sweeping claim for the future, especially in 32:42-44.
