Word
Jeremiah 24
1. Under the type of good and bad figs,
4. he foreshows the restoration of those who were in captivity;
8. and the desolation of Zedekiah and the rest.














Then
The word "Then" indicates a sequence of events, suggesting that what follows is a direct response or continuation of a previous action or revelation. In the context of Jeremiah, this word connects the vision of the two baskets of figs to the divine message that Jeremiah is about to receive. It emphasizes the immediacy and relevance of God's communication to the prophet, underscoring the active and ongoing nature of God's involvement in the affairs of His people.

the word
In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which signifies not just a spoken word but a matter or thing. It implies authority and purpose, reflecting the power of God's communication. In the biblical context, "the word" is not merely a message but an active force that accomplishes God's will. This highlights the importance of divine revelation and the transformative power of God's word in the lives of individuals and nations.

of the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God. It denotes His eternal, self-existent nature and His covenant relationship with Israel. This phrase emphasizes that the message Jeremiah receives is not of human origin but from the sovereign Creator, who is faithful to His promises and actively engaged in guiding His people.

came
The word "came" suggests movement and arrival, indicating that the message was delivered to Jeremiah with intention and purpose. It reflects the dynamic nature of God's communication, as He reaches out to His prophets to convey His will. This underscores the accessibility of God and His willingness to engage with humanity, providing guidance and direction.

to me
The phrase "to me" personalizes the message, highlighting Jeremiah's role as a chosen prophet and intermediary between God and His people. It underscores the intimate relationship between God and His servants, as well as the responsibility placed upon Jeremiah to faithfully convey God's message. This personal aspect of divine communication serves as a reminder of the unique calling and accountability of those who are entrusted with God's word.

saying
The word "saying" introduces the content of the divine message, preparing the reader for the specific revelation that follows. It signifies the beginning of a direct quotation from God, emphasizing the importance and authority of the words that are about to be spoken. This sets the stage for the prophetic message, inviting the audience to listen attentively and respond to God's instruction.

(4) Again the word of the Lord came unto me.--The words seem to imply an interval, during which the prophet was left to ponder over the symbols that he had thus seen. At last "the word of the Lord came" and made their meaning clear.
