Good Figs, His Remnant Restored

The good figs that will be restored versus the bad figs thrown away foreshadow Yeshua's parable of the sheep and goats — the final separation He will make at His return.

  1. The Good and Bad Figs

    Two baskets of figs — one good, one rotten. Elohim distinguishes between the exiles who submit and those who rebel.

  2. 1YHWH showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs were set before YHWH’s temple, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
  3. 2One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
  4. 3Then YHWH asked me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs. The good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so bad that they can’t be eaten.”
  5. 4YHWH’s word came to me, saying,
  6. 5“YHWH, the Elohim of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, as good.
  7. 6For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land. I will build them, and not pull them down. I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
  8. 7I will give them a heart to know me, that I am YHWH. They will be my people, and I will be their Elohim; for they will return to me with their whole heart.
  9. 8‘As the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, they are so bad,’ surely YHWH says, ‘So I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.
  10. 9I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth amongst all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them.
  11. 10I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence amongst them, until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.’”
