And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 49:6 belongs to Jeremiah's prophecies against foreign nations, which pronounce doom upon the kingdoms surrounding Israel. Within that group it concerns Ammon, one of the powers destined to fall before Nebuchadnezzar. After that fall the Lord promises to bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon and restore them.
That promised return or gathering gives no basis for claiming a separate restoration for the Ammonites, either nationally or individually, any more than for Israel according to the flesh. The restoration of Ammon and of Israel is in the same sense and at the same time, the gathering of all through Christ, not a promise reserved for a particular nation.
