Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
Jeremiah 48 belongs among the prophecies of the powers that were to fall before Nebuchadnezzar, with Moab numbered in that overthrow. The final verse stands as the closing line of the judgment pronounced upon Moab. It declares that Moab's captivity would be turned again in the latter days.
That turning gives Moab no separate national or individual title, for if Israel after the flesh has no promised restoration as such, neither have Moab or Ammon. The gathering promised to Moab is of the same kind and at the same time as that promised to Israel.
