1. The Lord, Maker of all things (1-35)

When the Babylonians conquered and ruled the world, they thought that they were invincible. The Israelites thought so too. But this was not so. God made the earth by his power and founded the world by his wisdom. He is the Maker of all things. The images that men make are fraudulent and worthless. The Lord Almighty used Babylon for a time as his war club. But soon he would punish that arrogant nation for all the wrong they had done.

2. Jeremiah's last word (36-64)

Jeremiah had once been accused of being pro-Babylonian. At the time of the exile, he made it clear that he spoke God's word faithfully; he did not support any political alignment. His final word was a prediction of the fall of Babylon. Babylon would sink like the scroll tied to a stone thrown in the Euphrates River. It would never rise again. The scroll was sent to Babylon.

Application: Lord, help me to be faithful to you, regardless of the ebb and flow of history.
One Word: God made all things
