The Hebrew word for "power" here is "koach," which denotes strength, force, and ability. In the context of Jeremiah, this power is not just physical might but also the divine authority to govern the universe.

JeremiahA prophet called by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah and the surrounding nations. He is known for his prophecies of judgment and restoration. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, which was facing impending judgment and exile due to its disobedience to God. 3. Babylonian Exile The event where the people of Judah were taken captive by the Babylonians, a central theme in Jeremiah's prophecies. 4. Nebuchadnezzar The king of Babylon, whom God used as an instrument of judgment against Judah and other nations. 5. God's Sovereignty The overarching theme of this passage, emphasizing God's control over creation and His authority to give dominion to whomever He chooses. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty and CreationRecognize that God, as the Creator, has ultimate authority over all creation. This understanding should lead to a posture of humility and trust in His plans. Divine Authority and Human Governance Acknowledge that God appoints leaders and authorities according to His purposes. This should encourage believers to pray for leaders and trust God's overarching plan, even when earthly governance seems flawed. Trust in God's Plan In times of uncertainty or difficulty, remember that God is in control. His "great power and outstretched arm" are at work, even when circumstances are challenging. Stewardship of Creation As God has created and given the earth to humanity, believers are called to be good stewards of the environment and resources entrusted to them.(5) I have made the earth . . .--The pronoun is emphatic. For "upon the ground" read on the face of the earth, and for "it seemed meet unto me" it seemed meet to my eyes. The "stretched-out arm" is a phrase specially characteristic of the Book of Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 4:34; Deuteronomy 5:15; Deuteronomy 7:19; Deuteronomy 26:8), and may be noted among the many traces of its influence on Jeremiah's language. The whole preface, which rises to a height of rhythmic loftiness not common in Jeremiah's writings, asserts the truth that the Creator of the material world is also the ruler over the kingdoms of the earth. For a like utterance of the same thought, see Amos 4:13; Amos 9:6. . . . Verses 5, 6. - Jehovah is the Creator and Proprietor of the earth and all that is therein. Therefore he can give any part of it to whomsoever he will. Therefore, Jeremiah being his trustworthy prophet, the kings are called upon to take notice that Jehovah has transferred their kingdoms to Nebuchadnezzar. Observe, in Jeremiah 27-29. the form employed is not "Nebuchadnezzar," but "Nebuchadnezzar" (so also Jeremiah 34:1; Jeremiah 39:5). (See on Jeremiah 21:7.) Parallel Commentaries ...
