two wrongs

IMG_1525Jeremiah 25:1-14

Jeremiah preached for 23 years to a nation who refused to listen.  Now he predicts that Judah will experience what the nations did when they first came to the land.  They will be devoted to destruction, and the land will be laid waste for 70years. After that, the LORD will punish its servant, Nebuchadnezzar.  Might does not make right.  Even the fact that God is allowing it for his own purpose does not make Babylon’s cruelty right.

LORD, we pray for those nations  who are undergoing wars and calamities.  We ask you to intervene in their suffering, and bring those who are destroying them to justice.
