Jer.24:2   One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

     The reason Adam and Eve wore ‘fig’ leaves over their private parts, is because that was the type of sin involved. If it had simply been eating of an apple, the leaves would have been over their mouths. Eve partook of the ‘tree of knowledge of good and evil’, who is Satan as also represented by the ‘bad figs’, or the offspring of Satan, through Cain's lineage (see my Genesis study).

Jer.24:3    Then said the LORD unto me, "What seest thou, Jeremiah?" And I said, " Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil."

     Figs are not evil in the physical sense, so this has spiritual or symbolic meaning.

Jer.24:4    Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

5     "Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; ‘Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.

     These ‘good figs’ are the captives from the tribe Judah, taken into Babylonian captivity. They were removed from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar (or Nebuchadrezzar). The captivity lasted 70 years, and then a ‘remnant’ of Judah (not all of Israel) returned along with other Nethinim of the nations to Jerusalem. The number returning truly from the tribe of Judah were less than half. (See Ezra and Nehemiah) The Nethinim were given to Temple service, and were not of the true Israelite bloodline, but took the name Jew because they lived in Judea (see also Esther 8:17). These ‘crept in unawares’ (Jude 1:4) into the Levitical priesthood, and are partly these ‘bad figs’. This is how that priesthood system was 'tainted' and would kill Christ and the prophets, in order to help fulfill God's Mission of Salvation.

Jer.24:6   For I will set Mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

     This has happened only one time since that captivity, and that is when many of the 'house of Judah' (those dispersed abroad, i.e. Diaspora), the ‘good figs’ returned to create the modern nation of Israel, by U.N. Charter vote, in May of 1948.

Jer.24:7   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.

     God is speaking to the ‘remnant’ of Judah that returned to form the nation of Israel in 1948. There are other peoples that returned also from the Babylon captivity with the 'house of Judah', who claim to be Jews, (Kenites) but do lie, and are the synagogue of Satan. These Kenites are not of Israel lineage, and they caused the real tribe of Judah much trouble. They claim to be Jews in order to mask their operation, so be careful when you blame the Jewish People for world affairs.

 

Jer.35: Read All. 'House of Rechabites'

Jer.24:8   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:

     The residue of Jerusalem is the remnant from the true tribe of Judah who returned from the Babylon captivity. The 'evil figs' are given as Temple servants to Judah, under the authority of King Zedekiah and his princes. These Nethinim or Temple servants, call themselves Jews, but are not..., they are the ‘evil figs’ that God brought back with the ‘good figs’ to
