The captivity and expatriation of Judah was at hand. But their return is as necessary as their expulsion. God, then, designs to confirm this truth; and his Providence provides the means. A field purchased by the prophet will be both a figure and an evidence of this. At this moment his uncle Hanameel comes to the prophet and offers his field for sale. What made it necessary for this man at the time to sell his inheritance? Way does he come at the very time that the occasion demanded? God sent him. But how did he send him? By his Providence, and not by express command. Every thing occurred with the exactness of the movement of a watch; yet Hanameel was doing his own business according to his own volitions and sentiments.
