<p id="Jer24_1"><a onclick="return mV('Jer',24,'1-10');">Jer 24:1-10</a>. THE RESTORATION OF THE CAPTIVES IN BABYLON AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE REFRACTORY PARTY IN JUDEA AND IN EGYPT, REPRESENTED UNDER THE TYPE OF A BASKET OF GOOD, AND ONE OF BAD, FIGS.</ap>
|
|
<p><b>1. Lord showed me</b>— <a onclick="return mV('Amo',7,1,4,7);">Amo 7:1, 4, 7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Amo',8,1);">8:1</a>, contains the same formula, with the addition of "thus" prefixed.
|
|
<br><br><b>carried...captive Jeconiah</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',22,24);">Jer 22:24</a>; <a onclick="return mV('2Ki',24,12);">2Ki 24:12</a>, etc. <a onclick="return mV('2Ch',36,10);">2Ch 36:10</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>carpenters,</b> etc.—One thousand artisans were carried to Babylon, both to work for the king there, and to deprive Jerusalem of their services in the event of a future siege (<a onclick="return mV('2Ki',24,16);">2Ki 24:16</a>).
|
|
<p id="Jer24_2"><b>2. figs...first ripe</b>—the "boccora," or early fig (see on JFB for <a href="./Comm/jfb/Isa/Isa028.html#Isa28_4">Isa 28:4</a>). Baskets of figs used to be offered as first-fruits in the temple. The <i>good figs</i> represent Jeconiah and the exiles in Babylon; <i>the bad,</i> Zedekiah and the obstinate Jews in Judea. They are called <i>good</i> and <i>bad</i> respectively, not in an absolute, but a comparative sense, and in reference to the punishment of the latter. This prophecy was designed to encourage the despairing exiles, and to reprove the people at home, who prided themselves as superior to those in Babylon and abused the forbearance of God (compare <a onclick="return mV('Jer',52,'31-34');">Jer 52:31-34</a>).
|
|
<p id="Jer24_5"><b>5. acknowledge</b>—<i>regard with favor,</i> like as thou lookest on the good figs favorably.
|
|
<br><br><b>for their good</b>—Their removal to Babylon saved them from the calamities which befell the rest of the nation and led them to repentance there: so God bettered their condition (<a onclick="return mV('2Ki',25,'27-30');">2Ki 25:27-30</a>). Daniel and Ezekiel were among these captives.
|
|
<p id="Jer24_6"><b>6.</b> (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',12,15);">Jer 12:15</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>not pull...down...not pluck ...up</b>—only partially fulfilled in the restoration from Babylon; antitypically and fully to be fulfilled hereafter (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',32,41);">Jer 32:41</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',33,7);">33:7</a>).
|
|
<p id="Jer24_7"><b>7.</b> (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',30,22);">Jer 30:22</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',31,33);">31:33</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',32,38);">32:38</A>). Their conversion from idolatry to the one true God, through the chastening effect of the Babylonish captivity, is here expressed in language which, in its fulness, applies to the more complete conversion hereafter of the Jews, "with their whole heart" (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',29,13);">Jer 29:13</a>), through the painful discipline of their present dispersion. The source of their conversion is here stated to be <i>God's prevenient grace.</i>
|
|
<br><br><b>for they shall return</b>—Repentance, though not the cause of pardon, is its invariable accompaniment: it is the effect of God's <i>giving a heart to know Him.</i>
|
|
<p id="Jer24_8"><b>8. in...Egypt</b>—Many Jews had fled for refuge to Egypt, which was leagued with Judea against Babylon.
|
|
<p id="Jer24_9"><b>9. removed,</b> etc.— (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',15,4);">Jer 15:4</a>). CALVIN translates, "I will give them up to <i>agitation,</i> in all," etc.; This verse quotes the curse (<a onclick="return mV('Deu',28,25,37);">Deu 28:25, 37</a>). Compare <a onclick="return mV('Jer',29,18,2);">Jer 29:18, 22</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',44,13,14);">Psa 44:13-14</a>.
