The Prophecy's Vindication

Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that this verse is more than a historical note. By stating that Jeremiah was there "until the day that Jerusalem was taken," the text confirms that all of Jeremiah's warnings came to pass. The city's fall was not a random event but the fulfillment of God's declared judgment, vindicating Jeremiah as a true prophet.
