In this chapter, the Lord describes the fall of Babylon. He promises to destroy them completely, even the cattle, for their wicked treatment of God’s people while in captivity and their complete love and worship of idols. One section, however, highlights the reestablishment of an eternal covenant between God and His people. “Then the people of Israel and Judah will join together,” says the Lord, “weeping and seeking the Lord their God. They will ask the way to Jerusalem and will start back home again. They will bind themselves to the Lord with an eternal covenant that will never again be broken." (Jeremiah 50:4-5)
Read the rest of the chapter for yourself to learn the details of Babylon’s destruction.
Lord, thank you for your Word today! Thank you for being our Savior and the destroyer of our enemies! Lord, we love you!
May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
….AND MAY WE ALL PRACTICE THIS WITH ONE ANOTHER.
