Question: What was the reflection about the Bible verse Jeremiah 29:11?
It is not to be taken as the one verse; but from the beginning of the Chapter.
Detail is given pertaining to the Jews, which is God’s attempt to wake the nation up regarding its past sin and current sin towards their God; the sin of none compliance with their word/vow given in Deuteronomy and elsewhere!
They were warned by the Prophets that they would suffer for turning their backs on God; and even when they were captive in Babylon, they would not believe God’s Word!
Vs. 11–14 tells them that they will be driven into all the world’s countries; but also that they would be still free to “seek and find” God (in their free-will); which still is not happening!
The “curse and reproach” which still hangs over them (vs. 18–19) will not be removed by God, until they reach the stage of Zech.12:10; then there will be massive change on Earth, and with the Jews!
