Jeremiah 50:1-20
Therefor this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel says: I will punish the king of Babylon and his land as I punished the king of Assyria. But I will bring Israel back to their own pasture, and they will graze on Carmel and Bashan; their appetite will be satisfied on the hills on Ephraim and Gilead. In those days, at that time, declares the Lord, "search will be made for Israel's guilt, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant I spare."
The ruins of Babylon, capital of empire in Jeremiah's day, King Nebuchadnezzar's great pride and joy, lie in the desert 90km south of modern Baghdad.
Jeremiah's impressive prophecy was sent with the delegation that went to Babylon in the fourth year of Zedekiah's reign, 6 years before the fall if Jerusalem. It was given a public reading, then sunk in the Euphrates, as Babylon itself would sink before its conqueror.
Why?
What Jeremiah prophecy are comes truth, so we knew Jeremiah is the servant of the Lord. He says the truth, but none believed in him in his days.
God forgive the remnant of Israel who spared totally and free. So God forgive our sins completely through believing Jesus Christ as my Lord.
How?
Praise to the Lord for his love endure forever.
