What is meant by 'expected end' according to Jeremiah 29:11?

Answered in 1 source

'Expected end' refers to the hope and assurance that God has a purposeful and peaceful plan for His people.

'Expected end' in Jeremiah 29:11 signifies the assurance that God has prepared a hopeful future for His people, despite current trials. The original Hebrew connotation encompasses a sense of anticipation and promise that aligns with God's thoughts of peace. The sermon further elaborates that for believers today, this means the ultimate hope lies in being with Christ and like Him. The notion of hope has changed in modern vernacular, but biblically it signifies a confident expectation, rooted in God's faithfulness. Thus, for Christians, the 'expected end' reminds us that our sufferings are temporary and that God is working all things together for our good and His glory.
