Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Literal Fulfillment

While the verse speaks of physical possessions, the "possession" could be interpreted metaphorically as a spiritual restoration or a return to favor, rather than a strictly literal re-occupation of land.

Israel as Distinct

While the verse speaks of "Israel" and "this land," it does not inherently define Israel's distinctness from other groups or explicitly outline a unique future role separate from any other entity. The promise of possession could be interpreted as a general restoration of a people to their land, without necessarily implying a unique, ongoing distinction.

Prophetic Methods of Communication

The verse describes a future event and attributes the statement to "the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel," but it does not describe *how* this message was communicated to Jeremiah or any other prophet. It is a statement of prophecy, not a description of the prophetic method.
