“And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.”
The captain acknowledges that the LORD brought disaster upon Judah because of their sins. This confession by a foreigner validates Jeremiah's prophetic preaching that judgment is theological reality. Even pagan rulers are instruments of God's justice and recognize His hand in historical events.
