Hello My Friend; Good day.
Our reading for today is from Jeremiah chapter 51. Since Jeremiah could not go to Babylon with the exiles, he sent his message through Seralah, who was an officer who cared for the army. Jeremiah instructed him to read everything to the people, tie it to rock and throw it into the Euphrates River, and say, 'So shall Babylon sink, never to rise, because of the evil I am bringing upon her.'(64).
This prophecy of Jeremiah against Babylon has a dual meaning. For the first meaning, it signified what would happen to Babylon through the hands of Cyrus, the king of Persia who defeated Babylon and demolished the Babylonian Empire. Second significance represents what would happen to the kingdom of Satan at the end times when Babylon, the great beast will be stripped of his power and punished by the Prince of Peace. Look at verse 36. In response to the cries and prayers of the people of Israel, God said, "I will be your lawyer; I will plead your case; I will avenge you." This is a powerful message of comfort for all those who are oppressed and mistreated. God is your Lawyer. He will plead your case and will avenge you. Hallelujah. Amen.
Prayer for today: O Lord, you are a our Refuge and Strength. Comfort your people during the hard and trying times. People are hurting badly and fiercely oppressed by the agents of the old Babylon. Help us to flee from Babylon and from all that it holds and promises. Our hopeand home is Jerusalem and the comfort of the Son of David who will rule eternally in His Kingdom. Amen.
Apostle Ndueso Udoiwod.
