In the context of the prophetic ministry, God often revealed hidden truths to His prophets (<a href="/amos/3-7.htm">Amos 3:7</a>). Jeremiah, as a prophet, was privy to divine knowledge that was not accessible to others. This revelation underscores the intimate relationship between God and His prophets, where God communicates His will and plans. The phrase also reflects the theme of God’s omniscience and His ability to disclose the intentions and plans of people, which is a recurring theme throughout the Bible (<a href="/psalms/139.htm">Psalm 139:1-4</a>).<p><b>Then You showed me their deeds.</b><br>Here, the focus shifts to the specific content of the revelation. God not only informs Jeremiah but also provides insight into the actions and intentions of the people around him. This is significant in the context of Jeremiah's ministry, as he often faced opposition and conspiracy from those who rejected his message (<a href="/jeremiah/11-19.htm">Jeremiah 11:19</a>). The deeds likely refer to the plots against Jeremiah's life, as revealed in the subsequent verses. This revelation serves as a warning and a call to action for Jeremiah, emphasizing the theme of divine protection and guidance for those who are faithful to God's calling. The phrase also foreshadows the suffering and persecution that Jeremiah, as a type of Christ, would endure, paralleling the opposition Jesus faced during His earthly ministry (<a href="/john/15-18.htm">John 15:18-20</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A prophet called by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah.
