Jeremiah 31:35-37

This Scripture passage refutes “preterists” who say that God is done with the nation of Israel.

God compares His commitment to Israel to the fixed order of creation — saying that it will continue as long as the sun, moon and stars give their light and the waves roar. What stronger promise to Israel could God make?

Jeremiah 31:35-37

35Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for light by day And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is His name: 36“If this fixed order departs From before Me,” declares the LORD, “Then the offspring of Israel also will cease From being a nation before Me forever.” 37Thus says the LORD, “If the heavens above can be measured And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel For all that they have done,” declares the LORD.
