It is a prophetic term indicating a period when God will act decisively in history, often associated with the Messianic age or the end times.the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel Historically, the kingdoms of Judah and Israel were divided after the reign of Solomon. This prophecy envisions a reunification of the two houses, symbolizing healing and restoration. It reflects God's desire for unity among His people and foreshadows the ultimate reconciliation through Christ, who unites all believers.and they will come together from the land of the north The "land of the north" likely refers to the regions where the Israelites were exiled, such as Assyria and Babylon. This indicates a return from captivity, a theme prevalent in prophetic literature. It also symbolizes spiritual return and renewal, as God gathers His people from places of dispersion.to the land that I gave to your fathers as an inheritance This refers to the Promised Land, given to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It underscores God's faithfulness to His covenant promises. The land is not just a physical territory but represents God's blessing and the fulfillment of His promises.

In the church today, we should strive for unity among believers, setting aside divisions and focusing on our common faith in Christ. <a href="/topical/r/restoration_and_hope.htm">Restoration and Hope</a> Despite the judgment and exile, God promises restoration.

The healing of the long-standing breach between Israel and Judah, coeval almost with the commencement of Israel as a people, was to be the glory of the Messiah's kingdom.Out of the land of the north.--The thoughts of the prophet turn chiefly to the land of the exile of the ten tribes; but his words imply that he foresees a like exile also in the north for Judah. In that far-off land the house of Judah shall walk to (rather than with) the house of Israel, seeking its alliance, asking for reconciliation, and both should once again dwell in the land of their inheritance.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 18. - The reunion of the separated portions of the nation (comp. <a href="/ezekiel/37-16.htm">Ezekiel 37:16, 17</a>; <a href="/hosea/1-11.htm">Hosea 1:11</a>; <a href="/isaiah/11-12.htm">Isaiah 11:12, 13</a>). Observe, Israel is converted first, then Judah. This detail in the prophecy is not to be pressed. Not that the force of any prophecy is to be evaded, but that in this case the form of the statement is so clearly conditioned by the abounding sympathy of the prophet for the ten tribes. These had been so long languishing in captivity that they needed a special premise. The form of the promise is imaginative; this seems clearly to follow from the fact that in no other passage (except, indeed, <a href="/jeremiah/31-9.htm">Jeremiah 31:9</a>) is there a reference to the spiritual primacy of Etihraim in the restored nation. Out of the land of the north; i.e. Assyria and (<a href="/jeremiah/1-14.htm">Jeremiah 1:14</a>) Babylonia. The Septuagint inserts, "and from all the countries," agreeably to <a href="/jeremiah/16-15.htm">Jeremiah 16:15</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/23-3.htm">Jeremiah 23:3</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/32-37.htm">Jeremiah 32:37</a>. Of course, it would not be an accurate statement that the exiles from Judah were confined to "the land of the north." This is a fair specimen of the supplementing tendency of the Septuagint, though it is possible, and even probable, that the Hebrew text has suffered in a less degree from the same tendency on the part of later copyists. <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>In those הָהֵ֔מָּה (hā·hêm·māh) Article | Pronoun - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1992.htm">Strong's 1992: </a> They days בַּיָּמִ֣ים (bay·yā·mîm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day the house בֵית־ (ḇêṯ-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house of Judah יְהוּדָ֖ה (yə·hū·ḏāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3063.htm">Strong's 3063: </a> Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelites will walk יֵלְכ֥וּ (yê·lə·ḵū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1980.htm">Strong's 1980: </a> To go, come, walk with עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the house בֵּ֣ית (bêṯ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house of Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc and they will come וְיָבֹ֤אוּ (wə·yā·ḇō·’ū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go together יַחְדָּו֙ (yaḥ·dāw) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3162.htm">Strong's 3162: </a> A unit, unitedly from the land מֵאֶ֣רֶץ (mê·’e·reṣ) Preposition-m | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land of the north צָפ֔וֹן (ṣā·p̄ō·wn) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6828.htm">Strong's 6828: </a> Hidden, dark, the north as a, quarter to עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the land הָאָ֕רֶץ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land I have given your ancestors אֲבוֹתֵיכֶֽם׃ (’ă·ḇō·w·ṯê·ḵem) Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1.htm">Strong's 1: </a> Father as an inheritance. הִנְחַ֖לְתִּי (hin·ḥal·tî) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5157.htm">Strong's 5157: </a> To inherit, to occupy, to bequeath, distribute, instate <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/jeremiah/3-18.htm">Jeremiah 3:18 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/jeremiah/3-18.htm">OT Prophets: Jeremiah 3:18 In those days the house of Judah (Jer.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/jeremiah/3-17.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Jeremiah 3:17"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 3:17" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/jeremiah/3-19.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Jeremiah 3:19"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 3:19" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
