While this promise had an immediate fulfillment in Israel's return from Babylonian exile, commentators overwhelmingly see its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Scholars like Calvin and Gill explain that the incarnation, the redemption of sinners, and the inclusion of the Gentiles is the ultimate "new thing" that far surpasses even the miraculous Exodus from Egypt. This work of Christ is the greatest and most glorious act of God.
