Jeremiah recounts the downfall of both Egypt and the Philistines. Both warrior nations had hired mercenary soldiers to help them, but to no avail. The sword of the LORD cannot be quiet when the LORD has given it a charge. It will accomplish the judgment intended. This is true for individuals as well as nations. Judgment Day is coming for all those who insist on paying for their own sins. Fall on the grace of God today, and trust the sacrifice of Jesus to atone for your sins. Otherwise, the sword of the LORD awaits.
LORD, we seek your favor, and put our trust in the Lamb of God for our deliverance.
Jeremiah 46-47
