Is the promise made in Jeremiah 29:11 intended for all of us or was it intended for a specific group of people in a specific period in time?

The answer would be yes and yes!



You cannot deny the promise was given to the exiles in Babylon.

You cannot deny the promise is contained within the Gospel

Yes, it was intended for a specific group of people during a specific time. But Jeremiah 29:11 is not the only place in the Bible where God promises that He knows what He has planned for us. That promise is scattered throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, in many different forms and relating to many different people and circumstances. I think that the reason so many people (including me) love Jeremiah 29:11 is because it is so wonderfully concise...that one short verse contains a summary of all of God's promises, and gives me such hope and comfort!
