Israel's Continuing Promise - Dispensational (Jeremiah 29:11)

Source: Dispensational interpretation75 words

Dispensationalists note: Jeremiah 29:11 was given to Israel specifically. While Christians can draw application, the primary reference is God's covenant people. And the promise has been literally, historically fulfilled: the exile ended; Israel returned; the nation was eventually reborn in 1948. God's plans for Israel continue today. This gives confidence: what God promises, He performs—across millennia if necessary. The same God who kept His word to Israel has plans for the church in this dispensation.
