God's Sovereign Hand

Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that Jeremiah's release was not merely an act of a pagan king but a demonstration of God's sovereign power. God orchestrated events, using the Babylonian leaders as instruments to fulfill His promise to protect His prophet. This shows that God can work through anyone, even those who don't know Him, to accomplish His divine will and care for His people.
