Jeremiah 11:23
“There will be no remnant to them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.’””
What does Jeremiah 11:23 mean?
Jeremiah is speaking God's judgment against the people of Anathoth, a priestly town that had rejected him and even plotted against the prophet. The phrase "no remnant" means they will face complete destruction, with none escaping or surviving to carry on their name. "The year of their visitation" refers to God's appointed time of reckoning, when he will hold them accountable for their actions. This is a hard word, but it reflects the reality that persistent rejection of God and opposition to his messengers carries serious consequences.
