耶利米書 16:21 RCUVTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 16:21

This once - Whether we consider the greatness of the national disgrace and suffering caused by it, or its effect upon the mind of the Jews, the burning of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, followed by the captivity of the people at Babylon, stands out as the greatest manifestation of God’s “hand” in all His dealings with them. read more

Jeremiah 16:21. Therefore I will this once Or, as בפעם הזאת may be rendered, at this time, as the same expression is rendered, 2 Samuel 17:7. Cause them to know my hand and my might, &c. “The time alluded to is undoubtedly that when the gospel was to be preached to, and embraced by, the Gentiles; when God promises that he would make such a display of his mighty power as should amply convince them of the truth of his existence and divinity. They shall know that my name is JEHOVAH A... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 16:1-21

Symbolic actions (16:1-21)Again God instructs his prophet concerning certain courses of action designed to attract the people’s attention. Jeremiah is to be a living reminder to the Judeans of what will happen to them if they do not repent. Firstly, he is not to marry or have children, as a grim warning to people that those with families will have greater distress when the final slaughter comes (16:1-4). Secondly, he is not to attend any funeral, as a warning that when Judah falls there will be... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 16:21

THE CERTAINTY OF IMPENDING DOOM"Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once, will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Jehovah."This final warning stresses the certainty of the destruction prophesied for Israel; and, as Jeremiah 16:9 stated it, that destruction was something they were to see, for it would occur in their times.Regarding these last three verses, "They have been questioned because of the universalism."[28] That is, they have... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 16:21

Jeremiah 16:21. I will this once cause them to know— Instead of this once, Houbigant reads by this turn, or change; "that is," says he, "after the Jews are rendered unworthy to be called the people of God:" for the Gentiles were then to be called to the faith of the Gospel, when the Jews were rejected. To know my hand and my might, signifies, "my vengeance and power, shewn in the destruction of their idolatry." REFLECTIONS.—1st, Example is often more effectual than precept. He who was sent to... read more

Future blessings following imminent judgment 16:14-21The following three pericopes bracket the assurance of imminent judgment for Judah with promises of distant blessing for Israel and the nations. This passage promises deliverance from the captivity for the Israelites. It appears again later in Jeremiah almost verbatim (Jeremiah 23:7-8). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 16:21

The Lord announced that in the future, when the nations sought Him out, He would convince them of His power and might, that they might know that Yahweh is the only true God (cf. Ezekiel 36:22-23). He did not explain how He would do that here, but later revelation tells us that Messiah’s second advent will involve such a demonstration of power that multitudes of people will turn to the Lord (Zechariah 12:10). read more
