Jeremiah 49:36

“And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, etc.] The Targum interprets it the four kingdoms; (see <270702> Daniel 7:2). Some think this had its accomplishment in the times of Alexander; or else after his death, in the times of his four successors; but rather in the times of Nebuchadnezzar, who should bring with him, in his army, people that dwelt in the several parts of the world, comparable to the winds for their swiftness and strength; whose blast would be so great as to drive the Elamites to every part of the world, as every light thing is by the wind: and will scatter them towards all those winds; those four winds, east, west, north, and south: and there…”

“four winds, &c.--Nebuchadnezzar's army containing soldiers from the four quarters.”

“In a whirlwind violent gales seem to blow from every quarter, and whatever is exposed to their fury they scatter over the whole country. With similar violence the whole nation of Elam shall be dispersed far and wide. return to 'Top of Page'”

“49:36 The common aftermath of a successful invasion was for the victors to scatter the refugees far and wide.”

“the four winds: Dan 7:2, Dan 7:3, Dan 8:8, Dan 8:22, Dan 11:4; Rev 7:1 scatter: Jer 49:32; Deu 28:25, Deu 28:64; Eze 5:10, Eze 5:12; Amo 9:9 the outcasts: Jer 30:17; Psa 147:2; Isa 11:12, Isa 16:3, Isa 16:4, Isa 27:13, Isa 56:8 Jeremiah 49:37”
