Forasmuch Great Mighty Power
Jeremiah 10
1. The unequal comparison of God and idols.
17. The prophet exhorts to flee from the calamity to come.

23. He makes an humble supplication.












There is none like You, O LORD.

Jeremiah sets the God of Israel above every idol honored by the surrounding nations. Unlike carved images that cannot speak, act, or save, Yahweh is living, personal, and without equal. His covenant name recalls His faithful relationship with Israel despite the nation’s rebellion and coming judgment.

2Sa 7:22 How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You…
Psa 86:8 O Lord, there is none like You among the gods,…
Exo 15:11 Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You…

You are great,

God’s greatness includes His rule over creation, nations, kings, and history. Judah faced the threat of Babylon, yet no empire or false god could rival the Lord’s authority. He alone directs events according to His purposes.

Psa 145:3 Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised;…
Psa 95:3 For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.
Neh 9:5 Then the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah…

and Your name is mighty in power.

God’s revealed name carries the authority of His person and deeds. The Lord had demonstrated that power in delivering Israel from Egypt, establishing them in the land, and judging those who opposed Him. Jeremiah affirms that the God who brings judgment also possesses complete power to preserve His people and fulfill His promises.

Pro 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower;…
Php 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place…
Exo 15:3 The LORD is a warrior, the LORD is His name.

Teaching Points
God's Uniqueness
Recognize that there is no one like God in power, wisdom, and holiness. This understanding should lead us to worship Him alone and reject all forms of idolatry.

The Power of God's Name
God's name represents His character and authority. As believers, we should call upon His name with reverence and trust in His mighty power to act in our lives.

Rejecting Idolatry
Just as Judah was called to turn from idols, we must identify and remove any modern-day idols in our lives, whether they be material possessions, relationships, or personal ambitions.

Trust in God's Sovereignty
In times of uncertainty or threat, like the Babylonian threat to Judah, we can find peace and confidence in God's sovereign power and His plans for our good.

Worship as a Response
Our response to God's greatness should be one of worship and adoration, acknowledging His supreme authority and expressing gratitude for His work in our lives.

(6) Forasmuch as.--A somewhat flat addition to the Hebrew text, which opens with a vigorous abruptness, None is there like unto thee . . .

Great in might.--The latter is an almost technical word (as in Isaiah 33:13; Psalm 21:13; Psalm 145:11) for the Divine Omnipotence. (Compare "the Mighty God" of Isaiah 9:6.)

Verse 6. - Forasmuch as there is none; rather, so that, etc. But practically it is merely a strengthened negative. There is none like unto thee; none, that is, among those who claim to have Divine power (comp. the phrase, "God of gods," Deuteronomy 10:17; Psalm 136:2). It would appear from some passages, however, as if the heathen did not worship mere nonentities (though idols are sometimes called "things of naught," e.g., ten times by Isaiah) by comparison with Jehovah, but that there was a dark background of awful personal or quasi-personal reality (e.g., Deuteronomy 4:7; 2 Chronicles 28:23).

Jeremiah 10:6 sweeps us from earth’s powerless idols to the living God: unrivaled in being, unmatched in greatness, and unequaled in the power bound up in His saving name. Recognizing who He is leads naturally to worship, confidence, and unwavering hope.
