In Jeremiah, chapter sixteen, verse nineteen, “O Lord, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.” Jeremiah foresaw a day when the nations of the earth would come and worship the Lord and renounce their false gods as worthless idols, as in Isaiah two, verses one through four, chapter forty-five, verse fourteen, and Zechariah eight, verses twenty to twenty-three.
The restoration from Babylonian captivity would be remembered in place of the deliverance from Egypt; it also typified spiritual redemption, and the future deliverance of the church from antichristian oppression. But none of the sins of sinners can be hidden from God, nor shall they be overlooked by Him. He will find out and raise instruments of His wrath that shall destroy those chosen by fraud like fishers, by force like hunters. The prophet, rejoicing at the hope of mercy to come, addressed The deliverance out of captivity shall be a figure of the great salvation to be wrought by the Messiah. the Lord as his strength and refuge. The nations have often known the power of Jehovah in His wrath, but they shall know Him as the strength of His people, and their refuge in time of trouble.
