Jeremías 50:20

20 En aquellos días y en aquel tiempo, dijo el SEÑOR, la iniquidad de Israel será buscada, y no aparecerá; y los pecados de Judá, y no se hallarán; porque perdonaré a los que yo hubiere dejado

Jeremías 50:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:20

In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord
When mystical Babylon shall be destroyed, and the Jews will be converted and brought into their land, and be in possession of every temporal and spiritual mercy; it will then most clearly appear that they are the favourites of heaven, and all their sins are forgiven them, as follows: the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and [there shall be] none;
and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found;
not that they will be wholly free from sin; or there will be none in them; or none committed by them; or that their sins are no sins; or that God has no sight or knowledge of them; but that they will not be found upon them, so as to be charged on them in a judicial way; having been removed from them to Christ, and satisfaction made for them by him; who has finished them, and made an end of them, so as that no condemnation or punishment can be inflicted on them for them; wherefore, should they be sought for by Satan, or by the law and justice of God, they will never be found, so as to be brought against them to their condemnation. The reason is, for I will pardon them whom I reserve;
the remnant, according to the election of grace, whom God has chosen in Christ, preserved in him, and reserved for himself, for his own glory, and for eternal happiness; these are pardoned freely for Christ's sake; and being pardoned, no sin is imputed to them; all is removed from them, as far as the east is from the west; covered out of the sight of God; hid from the eye of avenging justice; blotted out as a debt book, which is not legible, or as a cloud which is no more; cast by the Lord behind his back, and into the depths of the sea, and entirely forgotten; never remembered or seen more, but buried in everlasting oblivion and obscurity; see ( Romans 11:27 ) ( Numbers 23:21 ) .

Jeremías 50:20 In-Context

18 Por tanto, así dijo el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí que yo visito al rey de Babilonia y a su tierra como visité al rey de Asiria

19 Y volveré a traer a Israel a su morada, y pacerá en el Carmelo y en Basán; y en el monte de Efraín y de Galaad se saciará su alma

20 En aquellos días y en aquel tiempo, dijo el SEÑOR, la iniquidad de Israel será buscada, y no aparecerá; y los pecados de Judá, y no se hallarán; porque perdonaré a los que yo hubiere dejado

21 Sube contra la tierra de contumaces (Merataim), contra ella, y contra los moradores de la visitación (Pecod); destruye y mata en pos de ellos, dijo el SEÑOR, y haz conforme a todo lo que yo te he mandado

22 Estruendo de guerra en la tierra, y quebrantamiento grande
