Jeremiah 24:1

V. PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM AND THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY (Chaps. 24-29)A. The Sign of the Figs (Chap. 24)24:1-7 The LORD showed Jeremiah two baskets of figs set in front of the temple. One basket contained very good figs and the other contained very bad figs. The good figs pictured the exiles in Babylon, who would be brought back to the land because they would return to God with their whole heart. 24:8-10 The bad figs pictured Zedekiah the king of Judah, his princes, and the people remaining in the land after the deportation in Jeconiah’s reign. The exiles will be brought back to the land, but the others will be scattered and consumed by sword, famine, and pestilence.
