Jeremiah 24

Jeremiah 24:5

Notice that God had sent them away into captivity “for their good.” He promises to watch over them and eventually restore them (a remnant) to their land. That their restoration to the land does not refer to the return under Ezra and Nehemiah is clear from the final words “and not pluck them up.” Obviously they have been plucked up again. The reference is to their restoration during the Millennium when “they shall return unto me with their whole heart” (v. Jer_24:7). The bad figs represented Zedekiah and those who remained in Jerusalem and finally went down to Egypt in defiance of God’s Word.

Jeremiah 24:9

Secular history gives us the accurate fulfillment of this prophecy which Jeremiah faithfully delivered to his people.
