28:26-29
The wild animals would feed off their carcasses for food. This is an extreme form of ignominy. The plagues that God sent on Egypt would now come upon Israel. “You will be unsuccessful in everything you do”. This sums things up, nothing would work. Today we can look at politicians or political parties for hope, but what our nations need is to repent and to humble themselves before the Lord. Nothing else will work.
28:30-35
Life generally will be a disaster with everything possible going wrong. What are we to make of this? Israel and Judah did suffer much at the hands of the Assyrians and Babylonians in Biblical times. In the intertestamental times they also suffered. Throughout history there have been times of great suffering, the holocaust being the worst. They still suffer much today. At the same time they have given much to the world through science, finance and culture. One thing that must be said is that those people who have persecuted the Jews are without excuse, they are guilty. Any nation that works against Israel is asking for trouble. But to find true peace, the only is for Israel to turn to Christ, which one day she will do.
