Jump to Previous Affirmation As Cause Children Declares Egypt However Israel Longer SurelyJump to Next Affirmation As Cause Children Declares Egypt However Israel Longer SurelyJeremiah 16 1. The prophet, under the types of abstaining from marriage, 8. from houses of mourning and feasting, foreshows the utter ruin of the Jews; 10. because they were worse than their fathers. 14. Their return from captivity shall be stranger than their deliverance out of Egypt. 16. God will doubly recompense their idolatry. Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD This phrase introduces a prophetic declaration, a common feature in the writings of the prophets. It signals a future event that is certain to occur, as it is spoken by the LORD Himself. The use of "behold" emphasizes the importance and certainty of the prophecy. This phrase is often used in the Old Testament to introduce significant changes or divine interventions (e.g., Isaiah 7:14, Jeremiah 23:5). when they will no longer say ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’ Persons / Places / Events 1. JeremiahA major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah. 2. The LORD (Yahweh) The covenant God of Israel, who speaks through Jeremiah, promising a future change in how His deliverance is remembered. 3. Israelites The descendants of Jacob, who were delivered from slavery in Egypt, a foundational event in their history. 4. Egypt The land where the Israelites were enslaved before God delivered them through Moses. 5. The Exodus The pivotal event of deliverance from Egypt, which defined Israel's identity and relationship with God. Teaching Points God's Faithfulness in DeliveranceThe prophecy in Jeremiah 16:14 highlights God's ongoing commitment to deliver His people, reminding us of His faithfulness throughout history. A New Exodus Just as God delivered Israel from Egypt, He promises a future deliverance that will redefine their understanding of His power and care. Hope for the Future This verse encourages believers to look forward to God's future acts of salvation, trusting that He will continue to work in powerful ways. Redefining Identity The shift from the Exodus to a new deliverance signifies a transformation in how God's people understand their identity and relationship with Him. Living in Expectation Believers are called to live with an expectation of God's future work, allowing His promises to shape their present faith and actions.(14, 15) Behold, the days come . . .--Judgment and mercy are tempered in the promise. Here the former is predominant. Afterwards, in Jeremiah 23:5-8, where it is connected with the hope of a personal Deliverer, the latter gains the ascendant. As yet the main thought is that the Egyptian bondage shall be as a light thing compared with that which the people will endure in the "land of the north," i.e., in that of the Chaldaeans; so that, when they return, their minds will turn to their deliverance from it, rather than to the Exodus from Egypt, as an example of the mercy and might of Jehovah. Then once again, and in a yet higher degree, it should be seen that man's extremity is God's opportunity.Verses 14, 15. - The text of these verses occurs in a more characteristic form and in a bettor connection in Jeremiah 23:7, 8. The connection here would be improved by insorting the passage before Ver. 18; and as displacements are not unfamiliar phenomena in manuscripts, this would not be a violent act. The difficulty is not m the therefore introducing the promise, which frequently occurs in prophecies immediately after threatenings (e.g., Isaiah 10:23, 24), as if to say, "Things being in such a miserable plight, your God will interpose to help you;" but in the position of Ver. 18. How can the prophet say, "And first I will recompense their iniquity double," when Vers. 16, 17 contain a description of this very double recompense? Parallel Commentaries ...
