\u201cFor thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.\u201d
\n \u2014 Jeremiah 32:15 (KJV)<\/p>\n
Jeremiah was imprisoned for foretelling the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of king Zedekiah ( Jer 32:1-5). He bought land , by divine appointment from Hanamel the son Shallum . The deeds of the purchase were lodged in the hands of Baruch, before witnesses and he was ordered to lay them up in an earthly vessel. <\/p>\n
This was to signify that , though Jerusalem was now besieged, and the whole country was likely to be laid to waste, yet a time should come when houses, and fields and vineyards should be possessed again in the land.<\/p>\n
From our own physical perspective, it would a challenge to believe such a report.
\nGod infers that although we are under siege or seemingly facing imminent defeat, the situation is not permanent. Even in the midst of uncertainty , like Jeremiah, we have hope of a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n
