The word “call” can be defined and studies made of its finer nuances. But what we need to see in this context is what the Deliverer of Israel wants to get across to them in the moment of duress. “Call” in this instance is: “Jeremiah, pray for that which your God has determined to grant.” I don’t think it has to do with volume of voice or the ounces of tears shed. It has to do with knowing and getting into agreement with what God is determined to do in the families of Israel, in the nation of Israel. This is what God intended to do in Israel and what He intends to do in our nation: ‘Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth. 7  ‘I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel and will rebuild them as they were at first. 8  ‘I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me and by which they have transgressed against Me. 9  ‘It will be to Me a name of joy, praise and glory before all the nations of the earth which will hear of all the good that I do for them, and they will fear and tremble because of all the good and all the peace that I make for it.’  (Jer.33:6-9, NASB)

If there is a formula anywhere in the Bible, here is one: Jer 33:3  ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’  It appears that Israel, at this point, has nothing to look forward to but annihilation. But God gives Jeremiah the solution: call unto me. The formula seems to be: (1) call and (2) I will tell you great and mighty things which you do not know. We really do need to know what we do not know, so we really do need to call. What is not known at this point in time will stop the destruction when it does become known.

Throughout the history of warfare it has been noted that when an attacker sees his enemy indicating any degree of retreat, it renews his vigor and purpose in the battle, pumping up even more determination to destroy. It’s like a boxer in a ring when he has his opponent at a disadvantage. Both boxers are weary from the physical exertion of the fight but when one sees the other stagger, he seems to get a renewed sense of vigor and begins punching rapidly with all his might hoping that this is the point at which his opponent falls. An offensive posture and offensive action keep the enemy at bay. Recovery from the stagger is a must, not using it as an excuse. I once heard a Navy Seal say that one of their primary doctrines of warfare is that you can only be defeated if you die or if you give up.
