Context — God Will Restore Israel
19O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all.
20Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!”
21“Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD.

Jeremiah 16:21 Summary
Jeremiah 16:21 is a promise from God that He will show His power and might to the people, so they will know that He is the one true God. This means that God will do something big to show them who He is, like He did when He brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt (as seen in Exodus 6:6-7). When we see God's power and might, we are reminded of His love and care for us, and we can trust Him more deeply, just like the Psalmist in Psalm 23:1-4. By knowing God's name as 'the LORD', we can have a stronger relationship with Him and worship Him more sincerely, as commanded in Deuteronomy 6:4-5.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God to 'make them know His power and might' in Jeremiah 16:21?
This phrase suggests that God will demonstrate His authority and strength to the people, much like He did in the Exodus, as described in Exodus 6:6-7, so they will have no doubt about His identity as the one true God.
Why is it important for the people to know God's name as 'the LORD'?
Knowing God's name as 'the LORD' signifies an understanding of His character, nature, and covenant relationship with His people, as seen in Exodus 3:15 and Psalm 83:18, which is essential for a deep and meaningful relationship with Him.
How does this verse relate to the surrounding context of Jeremiah 16:19-20?
Jeremiah 16:21 is a response to the recognition in Jeremiah 16:19-20 that the idols of the nations are worthless and that the one true God is the LORD, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and worshiping the true God, as commanded in Deuteronomy 6:4-5.
What is the significance of God saying 'this time' in Jeremiah 16:21?
The phrase 'this time' implies that God has previously attempted to inform the people of His power and might, but they have not listened or responded, so now He will make it clear to them, as promised in Isaiah 49:23, that He is the LORD and they will know it.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that God has demonstrated His power and might in my life, and how have I responded to these experiences?
- How can I, like the nations in Jeremiah 16:19, recognize the 'lies' and 'worthless idols' in my own life and turn to the one true God?
- What does it mean for me to 'know' God's name as 'the LORD', and how can I deepen my understanding of His character and nature?
- In what ways can I, like Jeremiah, be a witness to the power and might of God in my own community and world?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 16:21
Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 16:21
Because all the goodness and mercy that I have showed them will not learn them to know me, my power and might, I will once for all make them to understand it by the dreadful strokes of my vengeance. They shall know that my name is Jehovah; that I am not such a one as their idols, but one who have my being from myself, and give life and being to all other things, and have all might and power in my hand, and can do whatsoever I please; and one that will make good whatsoever I have spoken, whether in a way of promise or threatening.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 16:21
Jeremiah 16:21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name [is] The LORD.Ver. 21. I will for this once.] And "this once" shall stand for all. Affliction shall not rise up the second time. And I will make them to know.] Effectu magis quam affectu. Effecting more than affecting. My hand and my might,] i.e., My mighty hand, mine irresistible power in their just punishment.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 16:21
