Jeremiah 30:1 Summary

This verse tells us that Jeremiah received a message from God, which is a big deal because it means that God is about to say something important. It's like when someone important calls you on the phone, you want to listen carefully to what they have to say. In this case, God is speaking to Jeremiah, and it's a message that will bring hope and encouragement to God's people (as seen in Jeremiah 29:11). Just like Jeremiah, we can trust that God is always speaking to us, guiding us and directing us, if we take the time to listen (Psalm 119:105).

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 30:1

CHAPTER 30 God showeth Jeremiah the deliverance and return of the Jews, . He comforteth Jacob, . Their return shall be gracious. Wrath on the wicked, . This title is thought to extend to all we have both in this and the next chapter, both which mostly consist of comfortable promises of the restoration of this people, and teacheth us what ought to be the matter of our sermons; we ought to speak nothing for substance but what we can justify to come from the Lord, which all doctrine doth that is bottomed on Scripture, though opened and made more plain and intelligible by words formed in our own minds.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 30:1

Jeremiah 30:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,Ver. 1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord.] This chapter and the next are Jeremiah’ s thirteenth sermon, as some reckon them, and it is wholly consolatory. The author of it he showeth to be the "God of all consolation"; and this the prophet inculcateth six different times in the five first verses, pro maiori efficacia, that it may take the better.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 30:1

CHAPTER XXX This and the following chapter must relate to a still future restoration of the posterity of Jacob from their several dispersions, as no deliverance hitherto afforded them comes up to the terms of it; for, after the return from Babylon, they were again enslaved by the Greeks and Romans, contrary to the prediction in the eighth verse; in every papistical country they have laboured under great civil disabilities, and in some of them have been horribly persecuted; upon the ancient people has this mystic Babylon very heavily laid her yoke; and in no place in the world are they at present their own masters; so that this prophecy remains to be fulfilled in the reign of David, i.e., the Messiah; the type, according to the general structure of the prophetical writings, being put for the antitype. The prophecy opens by an easy transition from the temporal deliverance spoken of before, and describes the mighty revolutions that shall precede the restoration of the descendants of Israel, 1-9, who are encouraged to trust in the promises of God, 10, 11. They are, however, to expect corrections; which shall have a happy issue in future period, 12-17. The great blessings of Messiah's reign are enumerated, 18-22; and the wicked and impenitent declared to have no share in them, 23, 24. NOTES ON CHAP. XXX Verse 1. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord] This prophecy was delivered about a year after the taking of Jerusalem; so Dahler. Dr. Blayney supposes it and the following chapter to refer to the future restoration of both Jews and Israelites in the times of the Gospel; though also touching at the restoration from the Babylonish captivity, at the end of seventy years. Supposing these two chapters to be penned after the taking of Jerusalem, which appears the most natural, they will refer to the same events, one captivity shadowing forth another, and one restoration being the type or pledge of the second.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 30:1

1–4. Introduction to the section. The standpoint (see above) is that of one writing after the final catastrophe (b.c. 586), but this fact is of course by no means inconsistent with Jeremiah’s authorship. Moreover, the words of comfort that follow harmonize with his commission “to build and to plant” (Jeremiah 1:10). The greater part of the ch. follows a regular three beat metre or is in the Ḳ ?inah measure.

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 30:1
