Jer 30:8 (KJV) For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:


Who’s yoke is being broken from who’s neck and what is the yoke?

This is about the return/restoring of Israel during the tribulation.
The yoke is God's judgment for their rejection of Jesus.
The neck is Israel.
The man of sin/antichrist is the one God will use ( who's yoke) during the final 1290 days of the 70th week when he drives Israel into the wilderness.
God will protect during this time of tribulation and at Jesus return the yoke will be broken.

This is my understanding, but may be wrong.

Thank you for your input, I've never looked at it that way. I've always seen the time of Jacob's trouble as the time when Christ came the first time and took the kingdom from Israel and gave it to the Gentiles.

What a wonderful verse! It speaks of the Day of the Lord, not the general understanding of it, at the end, but the day that the Lord comes to save the person, and releases them from the bondage of Satan and the captivity that ensures when man tries to serve the Lord from his fleshy nature instead of by the Spirit.

Any sin man commits allows Satan to put a yoke on mans neck. Jesus came to save us from sin not to continue in it.

I believe that the time of Jacob's trouble began at the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus.
If you will look at their history begining in 70 AD when they were driven from the Promise land and scattered all over the world, they have suffer unbearable tribulation, death and destruction.
If you look at Eze. 5&6, you will see the first expelling to Babylon, but also the second expelling through out the world in 70AD and even the third at the hands of the man of sin after their restoration that is found in Eze. 37 .
Those 1260 days in the wilderness, when They will survive only because of God's protection, will complete the time of Jacob's trouble.

Again, my understanding, but consider and study and come to your own conclusion.

So when He takes the yoke of sin from a person, He gives His own yoke upon that person.

I was reading the OP and my mind was vibrated about what Paul wrote when he said I delight In the law of GOD after the Inward man but I see another law warring against the law of my mind and bringing me Into captivity to the law of sin which Is In my flesh.

I remember also the rich young ruler asking JESUS,good master,what must I do to gain eternal life and JESUS told him,why do you call me good there Is none good but GOD.

Only GOD In CHRIST can break sin off where the flesh can't decide whether we can receive eternal life or not.

Jer 30:8 (KJV) For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:


Who’s yoke is being broken from who’s neck and what is the yoke?
Hard to say here 16 - but I believe this is written in context of Jesus being the deliverer of spiritual Israel in the 1st century AD

(Jer 23:3 KJV) And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.

(Jer 23:4 KJV) And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

(Jer 23:5 KJV) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

"the days" came and went in the 1st century AD. Christ is ruling on David's throne in the heavenlies seated at the right hand of the Father:

(Acts 2:30 KJV) Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

(Acts 2:31 KJV) He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

(Acts 2:32 KJV) This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

(Acts 2:33 KJV) Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

The dispensationalist claim that Christ will sit on a throne somewhere in the dirt in the middle east, but that is not what Peter is claiming.

Not only that, Peter stated that all the prophets (including Jeremiah) "foretold of these days" in which he was living not some days 1900 years and counting into the future:

(Acts 3:24 KJV) Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

(Acts 3:25 KJV) Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

Who’s yoke is being broken from who’s neck and what is the yoke?

I would think the yoke of Christ's faith that works in and with the believer to both will and do the good pleasure of God as a imputed righteousness.

Mathew would seem to reveal the yoke of Emmanuel (God with us)His yoke is easy. He makes the burden lighter so we can rest from our own works.

Matthew 11:30 King James Version (KJV) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

As a picture of the gospel we are given a parable in Exodus. Those who know not Christ are typified as a Ass a ceremonial unclean animal representing a unbeliever (no faith) if not redeemed by a lamb typified Christ, as a clean animal.... there neck is to be broken indicating no salvation

Exodus 34:20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

Jer 30:8 (KJV) For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:


Who’s yoke is being broken from who’s neck
Israel's.
and what is the yoke?
The oppression applied by Israel's oppressors.
The Amplified Bible is great to breakdown verses like this. Jeremiah 30
Jeremiah 30 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
30 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:

2 Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.

3 For, note well, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will release from captivity My people Israel and Judah, says the Lord, and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.

4 And these are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:

5 Thus says the Lord: We have heard a voice of trembling and panic—of terror, and not peace.

6 Ask now and see whether a man can give birth to a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor? Why are all faces turned pale?

7 Alas! for that day will be great, so that none will be like it; it will be the time of Jacob’s [unequaled] trouble, but he will be saved out of it.

8 For it will come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, that I will break [the oppressor’s] yoke from your neck, and I will burst your bonds; and strangers will no more make slaves of [the people of Israel].

So when He takes the yoke of sin from a person, He gives His own yoke upon that person.
Yeah, that what he says in Mt. 11
Matthew 11:29



“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”

First century? SERIOUSLY?

When did Jesus in the 1st century: "reign and prosper, execute judgment and justice in the earth"?
O yeah it didnt happen.

Bunch of pagan romans destroyed Jerusalem. Last time I checked, pagan romans werent Jesus.

Also, Israel HAS NOT been regathered yet. That is why the time of Jacob's trouble exists. To purify Israel, and bring them back to the fold so to speak

Who’s yoke is being broken from who’s neck and what is the yoke?
The ultimate Israel is the Israel of God with New Jerusalem as its capitol.

The ultimate Judah is anyone who praises God in spirit and truth.

We who believe Jesus Christ fit both. We yearn for our homeland, our true homelad while taunted and by tthe enemy whose yoke will be broken once and for all and forever come that fulfillment.

Do not believe me......believe the Word.

Verses 7 & 8 pertain to the Tribulation period for the Jews -- "the time of Jacob's trouble". The yoke is the bondage and persecution of the Antichrist, and those who side with him against Israel.

All israel is not born again Israel. The Israel that denies the veil is rent are figured as antichrists. They persecute the Christians, the new name God promised to name the born again Israel. It is never about the flesh .
