In the context of Jeremiah, God reassures the prophet of His protection amidst the hostility he faces. Historically, Jeremiah lived during a tumultuous period in Judah's history, facing opposition from both political leaders and false prophets. The "wicked" here can be seen as those who oppose God's message and His messengers. This phrase echoes God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt (<a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8</a>) and foreshadows the ultimate deliverance through Christ (<a href="/colossians/1-13.htm">Colossians 1:13</a>).<p><b>and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.</b><br>The term "redeem" is rich with theological significance, often associated with the concept of a kinsman-redeemer in the Old Testament (<a href="/leviticus/25-25.htm">Leviticus 25:25</a>). It implies a restoration to a rightful place or condition. The "ruthless" refers to those who are merciless and oppressive, similar to the Babylonians who would later conquer Judah. This promise of redemption is not only immediate for Jeremiah but also prophetic of the redemption offered through Jesus Christ, who redeems believers from sin and death (<a href="/galatians/3-13.htm">Galatians 3:13</a>). The imagery of being rescued from a "grasp" suggests a powerful intervention, highlighting God's sovereignty and the assurance of His protection and salvation.<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.
