God Directs History for You
Commentators like Calvin and Spurgeon emphasize the phrase "For your sake I have sent to Babylon." This reveals a profound truth: God orchestrates major world events, like the rise and fall of the mighty Babylonian empire, with the ultimate purpose of redeeming and caring for His chosen people. This is not just about ancient Israel; it shows that history itself is shaped by God's love for His church.
