Date : Aug 18, 2018
Passage : Jeremiah 51:1~32
Keyverse : 19

1. God vindicates his people (1-10)

Jeremiah continued to prophesy about the fate of Babylon. Babylon had committed many sins towards all the nations in the region. They were cruel and led the nations astray with their idols. They caused immeasurable suffering. People felt that there was no end to their tyranny. But God tells them that Babylon will completely fall. The Lord will vindicate his people. They will rejoice over what God has done.

2. The Portion of Jacob brings victory (11-32)

God could defeat the Babylonians because of who He is. He is the Creator, the Maker of all things, even the Maker of his people. He is the Lord Almighty. He reveals idols as frauds as he carries out his justice. Though all people are senseless and without knowledge, He leads his people by His wisdom and strength and on to victory


Application: Lord, you vindicate your people and cleanse us from idols. We entrust our lives to you.
One Word: The Lord Almighty is his name
