@@thesolution5697 King James Version (KJV 1769) - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. This appears very close to your translation. The Hebrew translation is: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Yähwè ,thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Not sure where you translated "a future and a hope." Achariyth means end or last. Now you have shalowm meaning "thoughts of peace." But shalowm also implies "welfare, health, prosperity, peace, quiet, tranquillity, contentment, etc." I love how one word can imply so many things. Thank you for your insight on the translation. I don't think I would have done my own research on this passage without. Makes me think about all the other passages I have read. Peace.

I'm perfectly fine with this translation of the text and it doesn't change how I feel about it or how it fits into my life at all. I have always lived by this one, "everything happens for a reason," "the Lord does not give us more than we can handle," and "this, too, shall pass." I've been homeless twice. I've lost my home in a fire. I was molested over a long period of time as a child. And now I've survived a bad car crash I easily could have died in that led to the discovery of a sizeable brain tumor which will be surgically removed in just two weeks. All of these things- and hundreds of other bad and difficult things I've been through over the last 40 years- have made me who I am today and brought me to the place in life I'm at today. Maybe the plan he has isn't about me, and maybe the reason these things have happened aren't to benefit me, but rather to bring me to where I need to be for someone else or to help something happen later down the line in God's plan for His people. I don't know, and maybe I'll never know, but I don't need to. He knows what He's doing and I'm just gonna go with it. I've survived it all this far. 🤷‍♀️

We’re all encountered by leader who stirs us to move ahead someone who believes we can do the task He has given and who will be with us all the way. God is that kind of leader. He knows the future and His plans for us are good and full of hope. As long as God, who knows our future, provides our agenda and goes with us as we fulfill His mission, we can have boundless hope. This does not mean we should spare pain, suffering, or hardship, but that God will see us to a glorious conclusion. God did not forget His future. Even though Israel was captive in Babylon, He planned to give them a new beginning with a new purpose - to turn them into new people. In times of deep trouble, it may appear that God has forgotten you, but God may be preparing you, as he did the people of Judah with a new beginning with Him in the center.

I am the youngest of 6, and we were 19, 17, 15, 13, 10 and 6 at her death. By the time I was 7 my dad had thrown out everyone but me and my brother who was 4 years older than me. My dad also would disappear for weeks at a time leaving my brother and I to fend for ourselves food and all. By 8 I ended up in foster care for 6 weeks by myself. I was sexually molested there. When my dad got me back we moved across the country to be with his sister and brother. My brother and I were basically dumped off at his sisters there. I turned 9 on the trip. In that house I was molested, beat, and made to feel worthless. We lived there for 4 years. One night when I was about 10, I took a knife and was going to kill myself. My mother showed up in a big ball if pure light and told me the words of Jeremiah... except at the time I didnt know they were from Jeremiah. It stopped me. From then on I started reading the bible.

No, it's not. Salvation is very personal. Psalms 23 is all about a personal relationship with the Lord, as is Psalms 91, "HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Psalms 1 started with "Blessed is the man that..." Psalms 112 starts with "Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that..." Paul told us to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." If you're trying to live a "kingdom life"... It starts with walking faithfully with Papa God and Jesus personally. Until you've got that to the place he's comfortable with using you at... You're just in the way. Paul was saved, baptized and filled with the Spirit in Damascus... But all he did was cause contention no differently than when he was arresting and condemning Christians to death before he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Did you notice that the unrest that started with Paul's synagogue getting Stephen killed didn't end until Paul was sent from Jerusalem to Tarsus? (Acts 6:9-9:31) Life in Christ is an individual walk, not a corporate one. It's only when we're walking as sacrificed to him personally that we can be used prosperously with others to spread the truth of his kingdom.

Wrong! So many take verses out of the real meaning, isolate it, then place it on an island and place our own meaning into many Scriptures. I hear this from so many "group leaders" to the point that it "excites" listeners. Jeremiah 29:11, these people were rebellious and God was sending them or has sent many to captivity as punishment for their consequences. The KJV reads differently. I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. This sounds much different from the NIV that people love so much. Davis said that His thoughts for him outnumber the sands on the shore. Imagine that. Also, so many love the prosperity that the minority texts used in translation. It means God wants His people to return to the old way, which was better than their current walk. Read the whole chapters in context and understand why it was said. Jeremiah 29-33 was a prophetic word and warning for a people, not an individual.

And there are those who do not want to hear what He has to say, and could not care less because their hearts and minds have been hardened by sin. They are too busy living "the good life" worshiping their false gods. That is why Christ always said "He (whoever) who has ears to hear, let him (them) hear" What He says to you will ALWAYS be in agreement with His written Word, the Bible.

I agree with you both, (Harriet and Tawachi).

(But we know that that isn't true. Enter rhema.) Jer 29:11 might have been spoken to the captives in Babylon, but aren't we all, metaphorically and by extension, captive in Babylon before we are saved. Isn't each individual a part of the whole. However, I think what Brandon is trying to say is, we should all get our eyes off of ourselves and focus on others, but like you were saying, the difference between Logos and Rhema.

Then he proceeded to teach and preach “tithing” which takes verses in Malachi wildly out of context!! Maybe this clears up the question of “tithing” which as taught in modern churches is taken egregiously out of context and used as a cudgel!! Perhaps the answer is that those infamous Malachi verses are a Rhema for some and not for others. I know I personally have wrestled with it for a very long time and read hundreds of articles on the subject. If you don’t have a Rhema on it, then you are wasting your time trying to apply the verse.

Thanks for a great point. "I know..." coming from Someone who is in charge, who is unchanging, says so much to one's changing circumstances. Moses was raised up not for his own prosperity/glory but for the sake of the. multitudes. In the NT, "one-anothering" has been promoted as the attitude of community so that when our focus is on another, we widen our scope in our pursuits and thereby prospering both ourselves and the other(s).

Hi Brandon, admittedly I've only listen to half of your teaching on this verse, but I want to say. You are learned man and are approaching Scripture from an educational angle. We learn we cannot pluck random verses from God Word, Scripture is built on scripture, and of course context can be useful. But from another angle God's Word is alive! I believe all Scripture is God breathed and applied to our lives gives us as individual believers life. A wonderful teacher of this was the late Derek Prince.

I agree with Pauline. We dont study the bible to only understand its context we study bible to receive and apply the word of God daily in our lives. The bible gives us more than 3800 promises and 365 times in the bible god tells us not to fear, for i your God am with you. If you study scripture keeping time frames and events in mind it would be incorrect, we are Christians followers of Christ because the scriptures are beyond time and space, just likeour God is beyond time and space. If we interpret verses to be applicable to only that time frame, then we are being totally misled. Its becoz the scriptures have the power to work miracles in our life through the eveliving word of God we are living our faith in Christ. We still are in dark times under the Babylonian kingship of satan and we are still surrounded by pagan worship of modernism and new age. And hence the promise of jeremiah 29:11 is still applicable to us coz it gives us hope that our God will deliver us and fulfill the promise of a new Jerusalem as promised in revelations .

He may still punish us, but if we yield to that punishment while understanding He only corrects those He LOVES, and understanding His thoughts are to bring us to a spiritually prosperous place.

Many times in scripture the New Testament quotes scripture from the Old Testament to encourage and claim it for now! As a declaration of what has gone before will yet be again. This is completely proper and scriptural to do so, much like prophecy. As God’s beloved people we can claim his protection, his hand of blessing and sovereignty over the plans of our lives. We have faith to believe for this and this pleases God. Scripture is a tool, Jesus used it as a weapon when confronted by the devil. Jesus didn’t take it out of context by doing so but used for that moment. Jeremiah 29:11 is a weapon against the devils lies of hopelessness, stagnancy and defeat. If you never want to use it. That’s up to you!

Thank you for clarifying. I've been reading the bible all wrong for so many years- when I actually read it. Context is so important, Thank u for addressing this. Just discovered your channel. Love it.

Thanks for this. It's kind of what I thought. So many people read out of context and are disappointed when life goes wrong and end up walking away.

I believe God has a plan for every believer in Christ Jesus. I don't base that off the verse in Jeremiah. I agree verse's are took out of context all the time. But God does want his Children to live for him and bring honor and Glory for Him.

I think scripture also shows us the heart of God toward His people. In my view it is God's heart towards me through life, He will help me run the race in this world until I recover my crown.

I really appreciated this video. It gave me peace about something that I have really struggled with. I've been a Christian for more than 40 years, and watched someone who was perhaps the strongest, most faith filled, most devout, most loving Christian I've ever met, get dementia and spend the last years of their life confused, terrified, crying, and basically stuck in a living nightmare that made no sense to them. This weighed on my heart very heavily, and when I would share my sadness with other believers, some would quote Jeremiah 29:11 to me. I know their intention was good, but it really drove a wedge in my spiritual life. What my loved one was going through did not in any way appear to me to be part of "God's plan" or "God's protection" for a follower in Christ who spent so much of their life loving and serving Him. I know we don't understand all that God does in situations like this, and perhaps genuine good did somehow come from what happened, and I don't want to debate that. My point is that if I'm being completely honest, when people would quote this verse out of context to me (in the midst of my pain,) the verse felt like a lie to me, and gave me more pain than comfort. I felt that if I couldn't trust what (I thought) this verse was saying, how could I trust others verses? However, It didn't cause me to stop believing in God, because I had seen God answer so many prayers in my life, but it did make it very difficult to read the Bible each day, and believe and trust in some of the scriptures. Hearing you better explain the context of this verse definitely helped me have more peace in this area. Thank you so much.

Praise the Lord, brother! This was filled w goodies! My dad always taught me to remember that we're reading folks' mail & to pay attention to the original context so that we don't press meanings onto Scriptures & abuse them. However, as I'm sure you know- it wasn't just Jeremiah that wrote these letters, but the blessed Spirit of God! 🥰 So Scripture isn't this situation where it's "this or that." It is living & breathing. It absolutely holds an irreversible context that NEEDS to be taught & known. The original intent is INFINITELY valuable. We the Church are made up of the Jewish people & the Gentiles who were grafted in, so at the base level we must know our history! 🥰🙌🏽 Yet, one of the beauty of the Scriptures is that the God who wrote them knew who He was writing to. He knew the original situation/people He was addressing, as well as the millions that were still to come! He knew He would be speaking in a collectivist & individualist context. This is the Logos vs Rhema. The written Word & the Holy Ghost inspired word, which is a special message/revelation that He gives to us. His Scripture is POWERFUL in that way. It certainly CAN be used out of context for manipulation, so we must be discerning & lean on the Holy Spirit. But all in all- folks can keep their embroidered quilts & such 😂 Psalm 139 talks about the Lord knowing all of our days when as yet there were none. And we know He directs our steps. (I recognize you don't believe He has no plans. You said that, & I heard you loud & clear. I'm just rounding out my entire point. ☺️) I agree, we will see harm in life. But I don't think too many people believe otherwise, lol. Prospering can be so many things. But most certainly, as you stated, He wills to prosper us in His specific plans to use us in His spreading of the Gospel of the Kingdom. HalleluYah! Yet, for some, that is ALSO His promise that they won't be in poverty or sickness forever, that the family member they're praying for WILL come into salvation, etc. So praise God thaf His Word is mighty to reach multiple generations & cultures to speak to them! And praise God for teachers like you that have a passion for ensuring the original context is always treasured! 🙌🏽♥️ It's necessary! But, if you're like me, sometimes that passion can lead into extremism & cause you to miss some things. So I have to go to the Lord to recalibrate me 🥰 Bless you, brother! Shalom over you & your household! Thank you for this teaching!

I am so glad that you've taken a close look at this scripture,and explained it to everyone listening.

Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Was this an indication of how God uniquely treated Jeremiah, or was He saying that this was a principle applied to all? If the words of the Old Testament were intended to only apply to the Jews and to the unique individuals (if identified) in the passage of scripture, then why did Jesus constantly refer to the Old Testament? Why did Jesus say, "search the (Old Testament) scriptures ...."? Much of the lessons learned regarding the children of Israel (Jews) apply to believers today. If that were not true, then there would be little reason to read the Old Testament - except for its historical value. Perhaps it is an error to limit the intent of Jeremiah 29:11. God is timeless. He knows full well what was the context of this passage; yet He saw fit to include it as "God breathed scripture" for a thousand following generations to be instructed, reproved, corrected, and trained in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16).

@@Christ.lives.7 Dispensationalism is a way to explain God's varied and targeted interaction with man and His expectations of mankind. We are in the "age of grace" - meaning that salvation is purely by the grace of God through faith. Moses was in the age or dispensation of law. Noah transitioned from the age of conscience to that of human government. During the seven year tribulation will be a dispensation of wrath, to be followed by the Kingdom with Jesus directly ruling. But in all of these dispensations, redemption or justification was/is through faith, as stated in Hebrews 11. And all of these dispensations, collectively, have a very important point - that mankind, under all circumstances, cannot save himself. No one, at his/her judgment, will be able to claim that Satan "made" them sin and therefore are not responsible for their behavior. That will be demonstrably shown to be false during the millennium reign of Christ. But in all of what has been written in God's word, the only passages that may be dismissed - i.e., not relevant today or in the future - are those completely and specifically related to the closed out dispensation. What comes to mind are the animal sacrifices and the New Testament specifically states their irrelevance today. That having been said, Jeremiah 29:11 cannot be deemed as invalid just because it was rendered during the dispensation of the law. God certainly has plans for the future, a lot of them, for Christians today. Perhaps "prosperity" is by definition. God's plans result in prospering in the kingdom. Jesus, transplanted the "treasures" to be the rewards in Heaven. So as a fundamental rule in God's mind, He continues to have plans, for prosperity, and He intercedes to obviate harm in terms of health - but all as that benefits the gospel and the Kingdom. Some Christians, at God's will, sacrificed unto their deaths. Perhaps the perspective is changed and the meaning in the dispensation of grace, but the level of God's interest and involvement in our lives is not less, and perhaps more that the Israelites and the Jews, pre-Jesus' crucifixion.

All the promises of God are yes and Amen in Christ Jesus 🙏

Looking forward to hearing this teaching. Often people immediately apply a scripture to themselves without seeing the scripture in the context of who it was written to. Most of the Bible is written to Israel. Since Jesus first had a mission to the Jewish people then after his death and Resurrection he gave the great commission and taught to preaching the good news to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth (all nations). Paul taught to preach to the Jew first and also to the Gentile, and finally that Gentiles have been grafted in, then one can see God's heart for all nations. It is meant to be one family but to honor Israel first as the Chosen Nation to reach all nations.

First I’m reminded that ALL the promises of God are “Yes” and n Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:20)… Often times when I ask someone to define prosperity, answer has to do with money, profit and material wealth… But prosperity can also mean, prosperous in spirit, in relationships and in other non-material, non-monetary things… I do maintain a biblical hope, a confident expectation of a good outcome, and I am convinced that through my salvation and Christian growth God will execute is perfect plan for my life…

Thank you BrotherB. A good lesson with food for thought. I've missed a couple of lessons. In the winter months my old bones tend to slow down and I often find 3pm Wednesday the perfect time for a nap. I always catch up with you. Hopefully I'll be wide awake this coming Wednesday. I wish at some point we could have a special ZOOM Bible study. We could speak with one another and ask you questions...just like Sunday School! Thank you again. J.😀

Thank you brother. We need to stop thinking like the world revolves around 'ME'. We are born into a family, a community! I've struggle for years as a member of worship teams singing songs that have a high percentage of 'ME' as the subject in the lyrics.Modern worship songs are mostly about 'MY' relationship with Jesus. I.E. I'm no longer a slave, God is so good to 'ME', etc. We are saved into a FAMILY, not thrown onto an island inhabited only by 'ME'!! Are you and I the only one that gets his?

I think that's why the song, "Awesome God" is one of the biggest/best songs of OUR God is an awesome God.

"Are you and I the only one that gets his?" Yes. You and he are very special.

Hello from Hong Kong. Love your channel brother. This is a channel not to bring glory to yourself but to God; not a channel to say something pleasing to man, but speaking the truth; not a channel to interpret the words to motivate people to increase themselves, but a channel to increase Him. Praise the Lord for giving you wisdom, knowledge and courage to speak the truth and help us get closer to the way, the truth and the life.

If God is not making himself increase in each and every individual then how can he make the corporate Body of Christ increase? You cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater what is true of one is true of all The Same Spirit that saves you is the same spirit that saves me God is working in each of us individually as well as corporately and without the individual there is no corporate because the corporate body is made up of individual believers it's not rocket science it's obvious.

@@stevemiller8895 Thank you. The OP has much to learn.

Wow!! I've never heard it explainedthis way... Something to chew on. . .Thankyou.😊

Thank you for the integrity to explain this! I have waited for someone to explain it and this is my answer! Never made sense when people use this verse to say “my life will always be pleasant and good.” That’s not true and mistakes the world for the kingdom. Also thank you for pointing out the error of extreme individualism. I feel like I’ve been to a chiropractor, spiritually.

I believe that the Bible is many dimensional book. So this scripture is for us collectively as well as individually.. For then as well as for now. The Word is inspired by God Himself Jeremiah was only the vessel.. The scripture will accomplish what He Himself pleases.. and it will prosper where He send it.. Look up for reference: Isaiah 55:11

You are a good interpreter of God's word. It's right there in writing and you explain the time in history and get us to think how it pertains to now. I will try to keep up but life keeps calling me. Always some fire in putting out. God bless you and yours Brandon

Your getting it like me. The evil one will send his best. Keep going

Thank you so much sir, I truly learned some important this morning. God bless you man.

Thank you Brandon. It is nice to look at scripture from all points of view. I have prayed this verse, gifted it to others for personal inspiration too. It is nice to understand the history and context of the verse as well. That kinda of scriptural writing I think is what makes it a living word. Great message collectively back then and personally now. I look at it more as spiritual prosperity though. Thanks again. Praying for you and the body of Christ everywhere.

I really do appreciate this explanation never saw it from this angle especially the fact that His will will prosper regardless and you may not be the one to see it but through your service and obedience and your sacrifices other generations will be able to see this promise. I will not replace one meaning for the other but simply an added lens to look through because He has a plan for each of us and in the end my purpose will still benefit the kingdom.

Absolutely right on brother. Dealing with these cherry picked pulled out of context verses is important.

If we put God first in our lives, he will take care of the rest.

Truth requires context. Anything else is just words/babel. Thank you mister brandon. Shalom

I always interpreted more along the lines of being a good companion text of Romans 8:28 which says And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Not all things are good but God knows what good and bad things are necessary for each person to grow their Faith and grow their relationship with Christ i agree that he's talking about the entirety of Israel as a surface level reading but I feel there's also a deeper application that this dosen't account for. (Even if it is historical accurate)

Yes, the scriptures are deep, and a overflowing source of wisdom. We need to apply the scriptures to our own life, but lets not forget about the Kingdom of God. "For the son of man came to serve not to be served." It is not easy though.

Great lesson. Spot on ! In context, that passage was intended for the Israelites headed to their exile in Babylon. As you mentioned, Jer 29:4-7 is especially important to understanding Jer 29:11. As the Al-Yahudu Tablets would attest, Yehovah was true to His Word: the Israelites did indeed grow and prosper during the Babylonian Exile so much so that many (if not the majority) of Israelites stayed in Babylon and did not return to The Land. Mordechai and Esther were part of the descendants of the Israelite Exiles who remained in Babylon. The Babylonian Talmud would be written in Babylon a thousand years after the Exile between 500-700 AD. The last of the descendants of the Israelite Exiles did not return to The Land from Babylon until 1954. That said, yes, Yehovah absolutely cares about us as individuals. Thank you, Brandon. Berachot,

Thank you for your insight. You challenged me to look beyond my bias and views to find the deeper and richer meanings in the scripture.

Amen and amen. Thank you for this video! Our pastor makes sure to always bring background to the scripture he uses for his sermons.

Thank you for explaining this SO clearly! I have always had a problem with the tendency of present day Christians appropriating Promises that God made to specific people in specific situations, and acting as if they applied to anyone anytime. But I was never able to express it as clearly as you just did. Again, Thank you.
