Jeremiah 49-50
Chapter 49: Judgment and Destruction
Jeremiah
prophesies destruction for the Ammonites. Edom (whose fall is compared to Sodom
and Gomorrah) will fall. The heart of the mighty men of Edom shall be as the
heart of a woman in her pangs.
Chapter 50: Babylon shall be destroyed
The Lord is angry with Babylon
for their sin; “My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go
astray…” (Jeremiah 50:6) The Lord is upset with the choices his
children are making and more upset with the “Pastors” or teachers that are
supposed to be showing them the way. Instead “…they have forgotten their
resting place.” (Jeremiah 50:6) Because of this Babylon
will fall at the hands of a nation from the north; the “…most proud shall stumble and
fall…” (Jeremiah 50:32) This will cause Israel to scatter, but be once
again restored.
