“They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.”
The divine explanation 'From this time forward I make you hear new things, hidden things that you have not known' announces that restoration involves revelation previously unavailable. The designation of restoration as 'hidden things' emphasizes the surprising, unprecedented character of what God will do. This verse implies that exile, though traumatic, becomes occasion for disclosure of divine purposes beyond what previous generations understood. New revelation emerges from catastrophe.
