What does Jeremiah 31:8 say about the return of God's people?
Jeremiah 31:8 declares that God will bring His people from the north country and gather them from the borders of the earth. It includes the blind, the lame, the woman with child, and her that travaileth with child together, a great company returning. This is the third repetition in Jeremiah, emphasizing God's emphatic promise.
Les teaches that Jeremiah 31:8 is the third time this promise is spoken in the book of Jeremiah, and Scripture repeats things to make an emphatic point. The verse says God will bring them from the north country and gather them from the borders of the earth, including the blind, the lame, the woman with child, and her that travaileth with child together—a great company shall return. Les notes part of this just took place a few weeks ago, but the end is not yet. Jews will keep coming from the four corners of the world, and the Israeli government faces a headache over how to assimilate them all.
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
