Again the Word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, the GOD of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, ... And I will give them an heart to know Me, that I AM the LORD: and they shall be My people, and I will be their GOD: for they shall return unto Me with their whole heart. And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt: ... And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers. (Jeremiah 24:4-10 selected)
The captives were blessed even their captivity and eventually, in GOD's timing were returned to the land of Israel. The others were destroyed in Jerusalem when the armies came, or were defeated and destroyed in Egypt when GOD persued them there. It is always best to hear and obey the Word of the Lord. He is GOD, He knows the beginning and the end, and as our loving Father He wants what is best for us, in the long term not just now.
For the lost person who does not yet know Jesus Christ, GOD wants you to repent, that is surrender to Him on His terms and receive Him by Faith in Him and His finished work on the Cross of Calvary in your place. Jesus desires a loving relationship with you that is real and personal, and wants you to believe Him and be born again to a new life of discipleship and fellowship that is abundant and everlasting. I pray that you will come to Him today.
In Christ,
