In the context of Jeremiah, God often spoke through His prophets to guide and instruct His people. This underscores the authority and divine origin of the message. The phrase reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God actively communicates His will.O remnant of Judah The term "remnant" refers to the small group of Israelites who survived the Babylonian conquest and exile. This remnant is significant in biblical prophecy, often representing hope and the continuation of God's promises. Historically, the remnant faced uncertainty and fear, seeking guidance for survival. Theologically, the remnant is a recurring theme, symbolizing those who remain faithful to God amidst widespread unfaithfulness.‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Egypt, in biblical history, is often seen as a place of refuge but also a symbol of reliance on human strength rather than God. The Israelites had a history of turning to Egypt in times of trouble, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/30.htm">Isaiah 30:1-2</a>. This command is a test of faith, urging the remnant to trust in God's provision rather than seeking security in a foreign land.
