Thus prophecies of oncoming judgment were mingled with promises of final and glorious deliverance. Those who should choose to make their peace with God and live holy lives amid the prevailing apostasy, would receive strength for every trial and be enabled to witness for Him with mighty power. And in the ages to come the deliverance wrought in their behalf would exceed in fame that wrought for the children of Israel at the time of the Exodus. The days were coming, the Lord declared through His prophet, when "they shall no more say, The Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land." Verses 7,8. Such were the wonderful prophecies uttered by Jeremiah during the closing years of the history of the kingdom of Judah, when the Babylonians were coming unto universal rule, and were even then bringing their besieging armies against the walls of Zion.

Således vekslede profetier om den kommende straf med løfter om en herlig befrielse til sidst. De mennesker, som valgte at slutte fred med Gud og leve et helligt liv midt under det rådende frafald, ville blive styrket til hver eneste prøvende erfaring og blive sat i stand til at vidne for Herren med megen kraft. I de kommende tider ville der gå større ry af disses befrielse end af israelitternes udfrielse af Ægypten. Herren sagde ved sin profet, at der ville komme dage, da det ikke mere skulle hedde: "Så sandt Herren lever, der førte israelitterne op fra Ægypten!" men: "Så sandt Herren lever, der førte og bragte Israels hus afkom op fra nordens land og fra alle de lande, til hvilke han havde bortstødt dem!" "Og de skal bo i deres land." 7-8. vers. Det var sådanne vidunderlige profetier, Jeremias fremsatte i de sidste år af Judas riges historie, da babylonerne var ved at overtage verdensherredømmet og deres hære allerede var ved at slå ring om Zions mure.
