According to Jeremiah, God promises that one day He will bring His people back to their special home where their ancestors lived. This means that God has a wonderful plan to help His people be happy and safe in their own land again.

Jeremiah 30:3: For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

Contradiction with Matthew 24:35

Jeremiah 30:3 speaks about the restoration and the return of Israel's fortunes, implying the permanence of God's promise, but Matthew 24:35 emphasizes the transient nature of heaven and earth compared to God’s words, potentially challenging the permanence aspect.

Matthew 24:35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Contradiction with Hebrews 11:13

While Jeremiah 30:3 talks about the literal return of people to their land as a promise from God, Hebrews 11:13 notes that many of God's promises were not received physically in the lifetime of those with faith, suggesting a contrast between physical fulfillment and spiritual hope.

Hebrews 11:13: These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. [in faith: Gr. according to faith]

Contradiction with John 18:36

Jeremiah 30:3 discusses the return to a physical land as a fulfillment, whereas John 18:36, where Jesus states His kingdom is not of this world, can offer a contrasting viewpoint on the nature of God's promises being spiritual rather than territorial.

John 18:36: Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:29-31

Jeremiah 30:3 involves a restoration of physical status and land, while 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 encourages detachment from worldly possessions and statuses, suggesting a spiritual focus over material restoration.

1 Corinthians 7:29-31: But this I say, brethren, the time [is] short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:10

This verse describes the eventual destruction of the present heavens and earth, which can be seen as challenging the idea of physical restoration suggested in Jeremiah 30:3.

2 Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
