“As Hashem lives who brought the Israelites out of the northland, and out of all the lands to which He had banished them.” For I will bring them back to their land, which I gave to their fathers.Jeremiah 16:15 (The Israel Bible™)כִּי אִם־חַי־יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱלָה אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ צָפוֹן וּמִכֹּל הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר הִדִּיחָם שָׁמָּה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִים עַל־אַדְמָתָם אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לַאֲבוֹתָםHear the verse in HebrewKEE im khai a-do-NAI a-SHER he-e-LAH et b’-NAY yis-ra-AYL may-E-retz tza-FON u-mi-KOL ha-a-ra-TZOT a-SHER hi-dee-KHAM SHA-mah va-ha-shi-vo-TEEM al ad-ma-TAMa-SHER na-TA-tee la-a-vo-TAM
The Future Redemption
In his prophecy, Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) interrupts a description of death and exile with an uplifting message of consolation, declaring that Hashem (God) will bring the Children of Israel back from captivity to their land. Yirmiyahu declared that the future salvation of the Children of Israel will be so great that it will overshadow the past miracles of the exodus from Egypt. Israel's future redemption will stand out from their past redemption, since it will see the return of the nation of Israel to the land that they had already inherited, occupied and enjoyed. The miracle of the State of Israel and the extraordinary events we are experiencing today are in fact greater than those surrounding the ancient exodus.
