So here Jeremiah gives us messages about the fall of nations. It is described how Carchemish will be defeated and he sort of taunt them with his words. Or at least that is how it felt. he also talks about the evasion of Egypt that will happen. How Nebuchadnezzar will defeat the Egyptian military. Then lastly he talks about how he wants the sword to rest. How he wants to see peace, but he is not sure how this will happen since the Lord has commanded all this death on the nations. But there will be peace to come.
You could say...God is in charge! He is the one and only one who ultimately is in charge of what will happen around the world! But even as all this stuff is happening to His people, He still loves them and cares for them. It is the same and just as true for us today.
