8.He exhorts them to yield, and not to believe the false prophets.
12.The like he does to Zedekiah.

By My great power and outstretched arm
This phrase emphasizes God's omnipotence and sovereignty. 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 inExodus 6:6, 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, echoingGenesis 1, 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 inDaniel 2:21. 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.

God's Sovereignty and Creation
Recognize 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.

What Does Jeremiah 27:5 Mean
By My great power

• The Lord speaks in the first person, underscoring that all genuine power originates with Him alone (Jeremiah 32:17;Psalm 62:11).

• His “great power” reminds us of creation’s beginning—“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1)—and of every miraculous act He has performed since (Exodus 15:6).

• For Judah’s hearers, this declaration cuts through any illusion that political alliances, military strength, or idols could rival God’s might (Isaiah 40:25-26).

And outstretched arm

• Scripture often ties God’s “outstretched arm” to decisive interventions in history, especially the Exodus (Exodus 6:6;Deuteronomy 4:34).

• The image pictures a powerful, active God who is neither distant nor passive; His reach is unlimited (Isaiah 59:1).

• In Jeremiah’s day, that same arm was orchestrating the rise of Babylon for a season, demonstrating that even pagan empires serve God’s purposes (Jeremiah 27:6-7).

I made the earth

• Creation is not an accident or a mere process; it is the intentional workmanship of a personal God (Psalm 24:1-2;Revelation 4:11).

• By affirming He “made the earth,” God anchors every subsequent claim of authority in His role as Creator.

• Because He formed the very ground beneath Judah’s feet, He owns it and can determine its future without challenge (Leviticus 25:23).

And the men and beasts on the face of it

• Humanity and animal life alike owe their existence to God’s direct creative act (Genesis 1:24-27;Acts 17:25).

• This levels every earthly hierarchy: kings, commoners, livestock—all are creatures under the same Maker (Job 12:10).

• Knowing this, Judah could neither boast in national identity nor despair under foreign rule; all living beings remain under God’s care and jurisdiction (Psalm 50:10-12).

And I give it to whom I please

• As Creator-Owner, God freely assigns lands and kingdoms according to His sovereign plan (Daniel 4:17, 25, 32).

• This verse reorients political expectations: Babylon’s temporary dominance is God-appointed, not merely the result of human strategy (Jeremiah 27:6-8).

• Believers today draw comfort and humility from the same truth—“Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases” (Psalm 115:3).

summary

Jeremiah 27:5 is a sweeping affirmation of God’s absolute sovereignty. He alone possesses the power, the reach, the creative authority, and the ownership necessary to shape nations and destinies. Because He made everything and everyone, He can entrust lands and kingdoms to whomever He chooses, for however long He chooses. Far from a distant decree, this verse invites trust: the same mighty, outstretched arm that formed the world still directs history, and His purposes always stand.

(5)I have made the earth . . .--The pronoun is emphatic. For "upon the ground" readon 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, seeAmos 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, inJeremiah 27-29. the form employed is not "Nebuchadnezzar," but "Nebuchadnezzar" (so alsoJeremiah 34:1;Jeremiah 39:5). (See on Jeremiah 21:7.)
