In this prophecy, God is talking specifically to His Church, which is His wife (Revelation 19:7). God is only married to His Church, which is spiritual Israel. God addresses this passage to “backsliding Israel,” to whom He says, “I am married unto you.” Numerous English-speaking nations have descended from ancient Israel, but this is not talking about those nations. Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.”

Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord.

Verses 12-14 of this chapter give some important details: “Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger for ever. To understand it, we need to look at the context. This prophecy about the ark of the covenant is found in Jeremiah 3. People don’t know where the ark is, but I believe that the Bible-and a certain nation’s history-tell us in which country it is located today. If the ark were found, it would electrify many people around the world! So this prophecy about the ark is for us today. That verse is found in Jeremiah, a book of prophecy that was written for this end time (Jeremiah 30:1-9). The implication is that very soon, the ark of the covenant is going to be found! Yet a fascinating verse in the Bible says that in this modern era, many people will be talking about it. In the past, it has been the subject of documentaries and movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark.įew people are talking about that artifact today. The ark was a holy chest that God instructed the Israelites to build. The ark of the covenant has inspired a lot of curiosity over the years.
