Warm up for Judgement

I am putting the 13th as well as the 14th reading in one study note today.

"I will bring back Israel to his own pasture"

This is Jeremiahs final prophecy and is directed against Babylon. He states it very easily that Babylon will fall and the Jews will go back to where they once came from. He starts out with the doom and gloom of what will happen to Babylon and how their sin must be judged. God will bring Babylon down...FOREVER. Jeremiah explains exactly the vengeance that God will take against this nation called Babylon which will show just how useless the idols these people have been worshiping are to them. That they really are only wood and metal, not living gods. He also warns all Jews to flee quickly because the city will be devastated and all will die.

You see God once told us that all who come up against the descendants of Abraham must and will be judged. He is keeping that promise that He made 100's of years earlier. The thing that we can take away from all this is that we must look into ourselves and see where are idolatry is in our own heart and family. We must keep ourselves clean from this. Moreover, we are not the judge of those who do not believe or who are lost. God is that judge. God is the one who will ultimately deal with the descendants of Abraham (all of us) and will curse, judge and punish them. Keep ourselves clean, teach those around us about sin and God's love and judgment, but do not be the judge. Let God do his work.
