Commentary on Jeremiah 6:1
This urgent warning calls for flight from Jerusalem, employing three methods of alarm: gathering, trumpet blowing, and fire signals. The tribe of Benjamin, whose territory included Jerusalem, receives special address as judgment approaches 'out of the north'—a reference to Babylon. The Hebrew imperative mood throughout this verse creates urgency, emphasizing that God's judgment, though patient, eventually arrives with certainty. This reflects Reformed theology's teaching on God's wrath: it is not capricious but measured, giving opportunity for repentance before executing justice.
