Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Jeremiah 27:22
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
Verse 22. They shall be carried to Babylon] Far from those already taken being brought back, those which now remain shall be carried thither, unless ye submit to the Chaldeans. They did not submit, and the prophecy was literally fulfilled; see Jer 52:17-23; 2Kg 25:13, and the other places in the margin. (2Ch 36:18)

They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be: see the fulfilling of this prophecy, 2Ki 25:13-15; 2Ch 36:18; and that they abode in Babylon till the end of the captivity, appeareth from Dan 5:2, where we read of Belshazzars sending for them to drink wine in at his fatal feast.
Until the day that I visit them; that is, until the expiration of the time of the Jewish captivity, which was seventy years.
Then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place; the fulfilling of that part of the prophecy we have Ezr 1:7-11, in these words, Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods; even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives, thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand. All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon to Jerusalem. So punctually was Jeremiahs prophecy in this place fulfilled, and so exactly doth one part of holy writ agree with another, which are great arguments to prove the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures.

They shall be carried to Babylon,…. As they were; and of which, with others, there is a particular account in 2Ki 25:13;
and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith to the Lord; the Chaldeans in a way of wrath, and the Jews in a way of grace and favour; which was at the end of the seventy years’ captivity; and so long the vessels of the sanctuary continued there; here we read of them as in use the very night that Belshazzar was slain, and Babylon taken, Da 5:2;
then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place; which was fulfilled when the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia to give leave to the Jews to return to their own land, and rebuild their temple; and at the same time delivered into the hands of Sheshbazzar, prince of Judah, the vessels of the temple, Ezr 1:1.

(22) They shall be carried to Babylon.The fulfilment of the prediction is recorded in 2Ki. 25:13-17.
Until the day that I visit them.The date is not given definitely, but seventy years had been already named as the period between the plunder and the restoration (Jer. 25:12). Here the undefined vagueness of the day that I will visit them is contrasted with the equally indefinite but more exciting shortly of the false prophets (Jer. 27:16).

REFLECTIONS
PAUSE Reader! and behold the wretched state of false prophets! for the wretched hire of this world’s favor, and to please men, what will they not do. Though the Lord sent his faithful servant Jeremiah, both to the nations around and to Judah, with assurance that the King of Babylon should come, and take them away into captivity; yet allured by those false prophesiers of deceit, they were lulled to their ruin, and put off all consideration of the evil day, until the tremendous event came upon them. Pause Reader! and then ask, is it not too often the case now? Doth not the gospel of salvation uniformly denounce evil upon all unrighteousness and ungodliness of men! Are not we assured again and again, that by the deeds of the law no flesh can be justified in God’s sight: and that nothing but the blood of Christ can cleanse from all sin? How are these truths received by the great mass of men? Are they not considered by them as idle tales, and believed not? Oh! for grace, and the teachings of the Holy Spirit, to bring them home to the heart, and to rivet them on the mind. Blessed Jesus! take thy cause into thine own Almighty hand. Bring down every rebellious, every self-aspiring thought; and cause every knee to bow to thee, and to the sovereignty of thy power, until thou hast subdued the nations to the sceptre of thy grace, and made all confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Amen.
