Jeremiah 51:1-33
See, I will stir up the spirit of a destroyer against Babylon and the people of Leb Kamai.
Flee from Babylon! Run for your lives! Do not be destroyed because of her sins. It is time for the Lord’s vengeance; he will repay her what she deserves. Babylon was a gold cup in the Lord’s hand; she made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore they have now gone mad. Babylon will suddenly fall and be broken. Wail over her!
The Lord has stirred up the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is to destroy Babylon. The Lord will take vengeance, vengeance for his temple.
He made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. The images he makes are a fraud; they have no breath in them.
He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker of all things, including the people of his inheritance— the Lord Almighty is his name.
Daughter Babylon is like a threshing floor at the time it is trampled; the time to harvest her will soon come.
Why?
Medes will destroy Babylon in God's hands. It is time for the Lord's reverence, God takes vengeance for his temple.
Our God made the earth by his power, founded the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. All of us are little before the Lord, our life and our way are in God's mind.
Babylon was a gold cup in God's hands, she made the world drunk. This world is like a drunk in this wine.
Everyone has to take responsibility for his choice in his life. But delivering the good news to this world is the job of every Christin.
How?
Let this world know that there is the Lord Almighty and his son Jesus Christ is our salvation to everyone.
