that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but,
the Lord liveth that brought up the children of Israel from the land
of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I
will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall
fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt
them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of
the rocks." Now it has ever been the case with Israel, when they
wished to express the greatness of their God, to say, The Lord liveth,
which brought up our fathers out of the land of Egypt. This saying at
once called to mind the power and miracles of that memorable event,
and associated with it all that was great and grand, and was
calculated to strike the mind with awe, under a lively sense of the
power of Israel's God. But, to our astonishment, something is yet to
transpire which will cast into momentary forgetfulness all the great
events of that day, and the children of Israel shall know that their
God liveth, by casting their minds upon events of recent date, which
shall have transpired, still more glorious and wonderful than their
coming out of Egypt. They will exclaim, The Lord liveth, which
recently brought the children of Israel from the north, and from all
lands whither He had driven them, and hath planted them in the land of
Canaan, which He gave our fathers. With this idea will be associated
every display of grandeur and sublimity, of wonder and amazement;
while they call to mind the revelations, manifestations, miracles and
mercies displayed in bringing about this great event, in the eyes of
all the nations. In view of this, Jeremiah exclaims, in the last verse
of this chapter: "Therefore, behold, I will _this once_ cause them to
know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall
know that my name is the Lord."
