The imagery of an "outstretched arm" is often used in the Old Testament to depict God's mighty acts of deliverance and judgment, such as in <a href="/exodus/6-6.htm">Exodus 6:6</a>, where God promises to deliver Israel from Egypt. It signifies strength and active intervention in the world. The power of God is a recurring theme, underscoring His ability to create, sustain, and govern the universe.I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it This statement affirms God as the Creator of all things, echoing <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>, where God creates the heavens and the earth, and all living creatures. It establishes His authority over creation, as everything originates from His will and design. This creation account is foundational to understanding humanity's place in the world and our relationship with God, as well as the inherent value of all life.and I give it to whom I please Here, God's sovereignty over the distribution of land and power is highlighted. This reflects the biblical theme that God raises up and deposes rulers according to His purposes, as seen in <a href="/daniel/2-21.htm">Daniel 2:21</a>. It serves as a reminder that human authority is ultimately subject to divine will. This principle is evident throughout biblical history, where God grants and removes kingdoms, demonstrating His control over the affairs of nations.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A prophet called by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah and the surrounding nations.

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 (<a href="/deuteronomy/4-34.htm" title="Or has God assayed to go and take him a nation from the middle of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?">Deuteronomy 4:34</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/5-15.htm" title="And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out there through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.">Deuteronomy 5:15</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/7-19.htm" title="The great temptations which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD your God brought you out: so shall the LORD your God do to all the people of whom you are afraid.">Deuteronomy 7:19</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/26-8.htm" title="And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:">Deuteronomy 26:8</a>), 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 <a href="/amos/4-13.htm" title="For, see, he that forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, that makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.">Amos 4:13</a>; <a href="/amos/9-6.htm" title="It is he that builds his stories in the heaven, and has founded his troop in the earth; he that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.">Amos 9:6</a>. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/27.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 5, 6. - Jehovah is the Creator and Proprietor of the earth and all that is therein.
