Jeremiah 16:14
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jeremiah 16:14 stands within Jeremiah 3 through 21, whose meaning is clear in denouncing sin, expressing sorrow of heart over the people's transgression, and earnestly appealing for return to God amid almost complete lack of response from the mass of the people. It belongs to a prophecy concerning Israel whose restoration predictions may point to restoration from Babylon or span both near and far events, with fulfillments before Christ applying under the former covenant and fulfillments after Christ applying under the new covenant to Israel by faith, God's remnant church, without specifying which fulfillment applies to this verse in particular.
The verse announces days to come when the Exodus from Egypt under Pharaoh will no longer be said as the defining or chief example of the LORD's saving power, because it will be surpassed by a greater deliverance in his gathering of Israel from the northern lands and the countries where they were scattered. That future deliverance is so great that God's people will instead praise him for bringing them from scattered regions of captivity, slavery, and sin, and will no longer chiefly recall the Exodus as the sign of God's saving power. The promise was given before the Babylonian captivity that Israel's return from captivity in Babylon to return and dwell in their own land would become the defining witness to God and was intended as a greater object lesson to the world than the departure from Egypt.
The later deliverance is greater in scope than the ancient escape from Egypt, bringing God's people from scattered regions of captivity, slavery, and sin and from all physical and spiritual bondage in northern lands and every other land into the immortal land to live in their own land, settled in their eternal inheritance in the renewed earth, the heavenly Canaan. The song of Moses represents that greater victory over all earthly foes, unknown since God delivered Israel from Pharaoh, accomplished by God's mighty, glorious power with his judgments made manifest. The following verses' image of hunters searching across mountains, hills, and rocky places applies to the worldwide scattering of gospel literature and rays of truth.
The verse shows that God's people are scattered among the nations and will be gathered from all parts of the world, and before the call out of Babylon is complete they are found as loyal people in many places. The verse calls for trust in God's power to deliver from present bondage, not merely remembrance of past victories. The final gathering will replace the Exodus as the great motive for willing obedience and will stand as the preface to the law of heaven, leaving nothing more the Creator could do to draw obedience from the ransomed, when the principles of the law will be engraved indelibly on hearts with no need for a written code, so they will have no other gods before Jehovah, make no graven images nor cherish idols, and never speak the name of the Lord irreverently in prayer or worship.
