2 KINGS 19:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.”
Then the survivors of the house of Judah that have escaped shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward; — the promise extends to the survivors of Judah: they will 'take root downward, and bear fruit upward,' images of restoration and renewed life. The reference to 'survivors of the house of Judah that have escaped' acknowledges that judgment and diminishment will occur, yet a remnant will survive to experience restoration. This reiterates the remnant theology: deliverance means survival of a remnant, not unscathed preservation.
