Scriptural Confirmations # 98
98. 5. I will deliver thee out of the hand of the evil, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the violent (Jeremiah 15:21).
Jehovah will gather Israel, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, and freed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he (Jeremiah 31:10-11). Throughout the whole of this chapter, and also Chapter 33, the redemption and liberation of men of the church is treated of. But in the former chapters from the first up to this one the vastation of the church is treated of.
Behold the days come in which I will make a new covenant; not according to the covenant that I have made, for they have made void this covenant. But this shall be the covenant that I will make after those days, I will put My law in their midst, and I will write it upon their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Nor shall they teach, a man his companion, nor a man his brother; Know Jehovah: for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them (Jeremiah 31:31-34, 38). This is said of the New Church after redemption.
N. B. That is the day of the Lord Jehovih of Hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may take vengeance on His adversaries (Jeremiah 46:10).
Because the day of calamity shall come upon Egypt, the time of their visitation (Jeremiah 46:21).
Their Redeemer is strong, Jehovah of Hosts is His name (Jeremiah 50:34).
Concerning the day of the visitation upon Babylon, in which vengeance must be taken upon it (Jeremiah 50:18, 27-28, 31).
The time of the vengeance of Jehovah, and of retribution (Jeremiah 51:6).
Jehovah of Hosts is the Former of all things, and of the rod of His inheritance by which He will do judgment (Jeremiah 51:19-23).
It is also called the time of the harvest of Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel (Jeremiah 51:33).
The day of the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of His temple (Jeremiah 51:11).
The days in which He will visit upon Babylon (Jeremiah 51:44, 47, 52).
It is called the day of evil (Jeremiah 51:2).
Jeremiah 30
1
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2
Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
3
For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4
And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5
For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6
Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
8
For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9
But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11
For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
12
For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
13
There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
14
All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
15
Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
16
Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
17
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
18
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
19
And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20
Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
21
And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
22
And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23
Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24
The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
