A Message About the Philistines

Jeremiah 47:1-7

This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza: 

See how the waters are rising in the north;   they will become an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and everything in it,     the towns and those who live in them. The people will cry out; all who dwell in the land will wail at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds,  at the noise of enemy chariots and the rumble of their wheels. Parents will not turn to help their children; their hands will hang limp.
For the day has come to destroy all the Philistines and to remove all survivors who could help Tyre and Sidon.

Alas, sword of the Lordhow long till you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still.’ But how can it rest when the Lord has commanded it, when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast?”

Why?

The anger of the Lord is burst and the Lord has commanded it. Who can stand firm in the world? 

The Lord arranged for Babylonia to conquer all the nations in Israel and surrounding nations for their sins.

How?

Acknowledge that only the Lord is the Almighty God, He reigns over the whole world, even we can't see Him, we can know the Lord through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
