John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, etc.] This explains what is meant by the continuing whirlwind in (<243023>Jeremiah 30:23); until he hath done [it]; his whole will and pleasure; brought Babylon to ruin, and destroyed all the antichristian powers: and until he hath performed the intents of his heart; in a way of grace and mercy to his people, and in a way of wrath and vengeance on their enemies: in the latter day ye shall consider it; this prophecy, and understand it; and see it wholly and fully accomplished.”

“30:24 Punishment remained an important aspect of what the Lord had planned. The Israelites, including Jeremiah, found it difficult to reconcile divine promises with divine anger. Looking back on events at a later time would help the people to understand this paradox.”
