Jeremiah 50:20

"I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he will feed on Carmel and Bashan. His soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead."

Key Reflection

Jeremiah 50:20 envisions a future restoration for Israel, depicting a time when they return to their homeland and experience abundant prosperity. The imagery of feeding on the fertile lands of Carmel and Bashan, and being satisfied in the hills of Ephraim and Gilead, conveys a sense of reclamation and fulfillment, suggesting that the people will once again enjoy the rich resources of their own land after experiencing exile and hardship. This promise not only speaks to material prosperity but also to spiritual restoration, indicating a fullness of life both materially and spiritually for God's chosen people.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Those days -The days of the Messiah. Reserve -Or, permit to remain: hence, the remnant, a word pregnant with meaning in the language of the prophets. SeeIsaiah 8:18note (2).
