In biblical eschatology, "the last days" can denote the time leading up to the coming of the Messiah or the end of the current age. It suggests a period of significant change and restoration, aligning with other prophetic texts such as <a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2</a> and <a href="/acts/2-17.htm">Acts 2:17</a>, which speak of God's ultimate plan for humanity.<p><b>I will restore Elam from captivity</b><br>Elam was an ancient kingdom located in what is now southwestern Iran. Historically, Elam was a significant power, often interacting with and opposing Israel and other nations. The promise of restoration implies a reversal of fortune for Elam, which had experienced conquest and exile. This restoration is consistent with God's broader redemptive plan, as seen in other prophecies concerning nations like Moab and Ammon (Jeremiah 48-49). Theologically, it reflects God's sovereignty and mercy, extending hope even to those outside Israel. This restoration can be seen as a type of the ultimate restoration found in Christ, who brings spiritual freedom and restoration to all nations. <p><b>declares the LORD</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the authority and certainty of the prophecy. It is a common biblical formula that underscores the divine origin of the message. The use of "declares the LORD" assures the reader of the reliability and inevitability of God's promises, as seen throughout the prophetic literature. It serves as a reminder of God's unchanging nature and His faithfulness to fulfill His word, as echoed in passages like <a href="/isaiah/55-11.htm">Isaiah 55:11</a> and <a href="/numbers/23-19.htm">Numbers 23:19</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elam.htm">Elam</a></b><br>An ancient kingdom located in what is now southwestern Iran.

Into the fulfilment of this promise we need not inquire in too prosaic a spirit. It is true that "Elamites" are mentioned among the persons present on the great "day of Pentecost" (<a href="/acts/2-9.htm">Acts 2:9</a>). But this would be a meagre fulfilment indeed. The fact is that, both in the narrative in the Acts and in this prophecy, the Elamites are chiefly mentioned as representatives of the distant and less civilized Gentile nations, and the fulfilment is granted whenever a similar people to the Elamites is brought to the knowledge of the true religion. <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/49-39.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Yet</span><br /><span class="heb">וְהָיָ֣ה ׀</span> <span class="translit">(wə·hā·yāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
