Verse 2

When the Israelites would seek rest from the attacks of their enemies (cf. Jeremiah 6:16; Exodus 33:14; Deuteronomy 3:20; Joshua 1:13; Joshua 1:15; Joshua 22:4; Isaiah 63:14), they would find it in the wilderness (cf. Jeremiah 2:2; Revelation 12:14-16). [Note: Another view sees this as a reference to the captivity of the Northern Kingdom (e.g., Thompson, p. 566). Cf. Hosea 2:14-15.] They will find refuge in the wilderness during the Tribulation, as they did following the Exodus (cf. Exodus 14:5-23; Exodus 33:14; Numbers 14:20). But Israel’s ultimate rest will occur in the Millennium when they rest in the Promised Land.
