Jeremiah23:8

8 But the LORD liveth, which brought up, and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north-country, and from all countreys whither I had driven them, and they shall dwell in their own land .

See the Notes on chap. 16.14, 15. Where much the same words are to be found. The Prophet aggravateth the greatness of that Salvation, which should be brought by Christ to all the true Israel of God, by comparing it with the deliverance of the ancient Israel of God out of the Land of Egypt; which he saith it should so far transcend and excel, that the deliverance out of Egypt should not be named, when this Salvation should appear, which should be after their return from Babylon, and when God should gather them from all Countries which was fulfilled, when by the Preaching of the Gospel, not the Gentiles onely were Converted, but many of the Iews also which were scattered abroad, Iames 1.1. 1 Pet. 1.1. Possibly part of this promise or prophesie remains yet to be accomplished, for the Iews are not yet come to dwell in their own land, unless that term be to be expounded of Christians, who during the times of Persecution in the primitive Church, were scattered abroad, but upon the ceasing of those Persecutions, when Christian Emperours came to have the Government, returned to their own Countries, where they enjoyed a more still and quiet Habitation.
