Despite the current devastation, God promises a return to normalcy where economic activities like buying and selling land will resume. This is a prophetic assurance of restoration, reflecting God's faithfulness to His covenant with Israel. The act of buying fields symbolizes stability and prosperity, contrasting the present desolation.<p><b>about which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation,</b><br>The term "desolation" refers to the current state of the land due to the Babylonian invasion. This reflects the fulfillment of earlier prophecies of judgment due to the people's disobedience (<a href="/jeremiah/25-11.htm">Jeremiah 25:11</a>). The land, once flowing with milk and honey, is now barren and empty, emphasizing the severity of God's judgment. This desolation serves as a backdrop for the promise of future restoration.<p><b>without man or beast;</b><br>This phrase highlights the complete devastation and abandonment of the land. The absence of both humans and animals indicates total desolation, a common consequence of war in ancient times. This imagery is used elsewhere in Scripture to describe divine judgment (<a href="/isaiah/6-11.htm">Isaiah 6:11</a>, <a href="/zephaniah/1-3.htm">Zephaniah 1:3</a>). The lack of life underscores the miraculous nature of the promised restoration.<p><b>it has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.’</b><br>The Chaldeans, or Babylonians, were the instrument of God's judgment against Judah. This historical context is crucial, as the Babylonian exile was a pivotal event in Jewish history. The phrase indicates God's sovereignty in using foreign nations to accomplish His purposes (<a href="/habakkuk/1-6.htm">Habakkuk 1:6</a>).
