19 "For thus says the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars , concerning the sea , concerning the stands and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city , 20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried into exile Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim , king of Judah , from Jerusalem to Babylon , and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem . 21 "Yes , thus says the Lord of hosts , the God of Israel , concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem , 22 'They will be carried to Babylon and they will be there until the day I visit them,' declares the Lord . 'Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place .' "

Commentary on Jeremiah 27:19-22
(Read Jeremiah 27:19-22)
Jeremiah assures them that the brazen vessels should go after the golden ones. All shall be carried to Babylon. But he concludes with a gracious promise, that the time would come when they should be brought back. Though the return of the prosperity of the church does not come in our time, we must not despair, for it will come in God's time.
