I read around 30 chapters of Jeremiah today trying to find where the marriage annulment doesn't take place, and God changes his mind both about the tribes of Israel and Judah. I can't find it. Instead it's chapter after chapter of warnings of what will happen because of non-repentance of Israel/Judah at that time. They wind up going to Babylon for 1000 years.
When they return, it seems that the remaining people's from the tribes adopt Judah (hence, "Jews") as their name, being not just from Judah, but the other tribes as well returning from Babylon. That leaves about 500 years or so before Christ.
"The land will be left desolate" is a common warning in Jeremiah prior to the exile to Babylon.
"Your house is left desolate" is what Christ says about Rabbinic Judaism/The Scribes and Pharisees of His day. He utterly condemns them in Matthew 23. About 40 years later, they are destroyed again and scattered around the earth...for 1900 years, with no prophecy of Christ or definitively of the prophets that I can find that tells of their being given the land again - unless it's in a new heaven and earth.
But, there was 2 huge world wars and united Jewry under the Rothschild banner(arguably the richest family name in the world) claimed Israel. People say it started when Poland was invaded but it actually started in 1933 with the newspaper title: "Judea declares war on Germany" when the world wide boycott and and propaganda campaign went into full gear. What God needed apparently, was tons of $$ "buy war bonds!!!" lent at interest - a practice frequently condemned in the OT, the owners of most of the major publishing houses to rile the world up, and after that, millions upon millions dead (mostly citizens and soldiers but also some jews too). God's plan. Oh, what a Holy God. You just have to give it to this God, this mass murderer of innocents (no matter who you believe those innocents to be) so that the people he utterly condemned 1900 years ago with Christs words, and before that with Jeremiah's words prior to a 1000 year exile in Babylon - could have a home he Himself took from them, twice, because of their many sins, their murder of the prophets, their murder of Christ and their perversions of Scripture with their extra writings.
That's the insane story most people believe.
Ezekiel 36
8 But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come. 9 For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. 10 I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and
nthe ruins rebuilt. 11
oI will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and
4bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do
pbetter for you than at your beginnings.
qThen you shall know that I am the Lord.
Ezekiel 37.
The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it
was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold,
there were very many in the open valley; and indeed
they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I
am the Lord.” ’ ”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but
there was no breath in them.
9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the [
a]breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and [
b]breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these
bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ ”
Hosea 6:2 and a day is like 1000 years for God:
After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
Hosea 1
When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea:
“Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry
And children of harlotry,
For the land has committed great [
a]harlotry
By departing from the Lord.”
3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. 4 Then the Lord said to him:
“Call his name Jezreel,
For in a little
while
I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu,
And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
5 It shall come to pass in that day
That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.”
6 And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then
God said to him:
“Call her name [
b]Lo-Ruhamah,
For I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel,
[
c]But I will utterly take them away.
7 Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah,
Will save them by the Lord their God,
And will not save them by bow,
Nor by sword or battle,
By horses or horsemen.”
8 Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. 9 Then
God said:
“Call his name [
d]Lo-Ammi,
For you
are not My people,
And I will not be your
God.
The Restoration of Israel
10 “Yet the number of the children of Israel
Shall be as the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered.
And it shall come to pass
In the place where it was said to them,
‘You are [e]not My people,’
There it shall be said to them,
‘You are sons of the living God.’
11 Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel
Shall be gathered together,
And appoint for themselves one head;
And they shall come up out of the land,
For great
will be the day of Jezreel!
