Jeremiah 49:1-6

God's plan of redemption includes our sons and daughters even those who have strayed from Him.
His children and their descendants were always an integral part of the covenant that God made with man. In the New Covenant all those who follow Christ become His heirs. He will not allow Satan to rob Him of those who were destined to be His. We must trust God to accomplish that which we cannot do.

49 Against the Ammonites. Thus says the Lord:

"Has Israel no sons?

Has he no heir?

Why then does Milcom inherit Gad,

And his people dwell in its cities?

2 Therefore behold, the days are coming," says the Lord,

"That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war

In Rabbah of the Ammonites;

It shall be a desolate mound,

And her villages shall be burned with fire.

Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance," says the Lord.

3 "Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is plundered!

Cry, you daughters of Rabbah,

Gird yourselves with sackcloth!

Lament and run to and fro by the walls;

For Milcom shall go into captivity

With his priests and his princes together.

4 Why do you boast in the valleys,

Your flowing valley, O backsliding daughter?,

Who trusted in her treasures, saying

'Who will come against me?'

5 Behold, I will bring fear upon you,"

Says the Lord God of hosts,

"From all those who are around you;

You shall be driven out, everyone headlong,

And no one will gather those who wander off.

6 But afterward I will bring back

The captives of the people of Ammon," says the Lord.

The NKJV Study Bible says this: Milcom, the patron deity of the Ammonites, is pictured as taking possession of the land formerly belonging to the Gadites, a process that began in the days of the judges.
