Jeremiah 30:3 “For behold, the days are coming,' says the Lord, 'that I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,' says the Lord. 'And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'” The above quoted prophecy, given by the Holy Spirit through the prophet Jeremiah, speaks of Israel and Judah coming back to the land given to them by God. This prophecy refers to natural Israel, not spiritual Israel. Let me say here that the Lord has also given us numerous prophecies in scripture, about the gathering of spiritual Israel to the land of Israel, when He returns to reign on the earth. For the church (spiritual Israel) will reign over the earth with our Lord Jesus, when He returns to the earth for His millennial reign. And at that time, we will dwell in the much-enlarged geographic location of the land of Israel. Therefore, we must not confuse that event, with this one prophesied by Jeremiah, for the two events are not the same. This event refers only to natural Israel, being returned to the land that God has given to their fathers. Michael E.B. Maher
