Jeremiah Chapter 51 dives into Babylon\u2019s destruction! Lately we\u2019ve been basically just looking at Babylon the city & empire and Nebuchadnezzar from the historical perspective \u2013 though, certainly seeing where and how God has been interacting with Babylon. I think it might be a good point here to consider the spiritual connotations of Babylon. A great place to begin this conversation is in <\/span>Revelation Chapters 17 & 18<\/span> where Babylon is discussed.\u00a0 I won\u2019t go into trying to interpret these two chapters of Revelation today\u2026 \ud83d\ude42 We have yet to get to Revelation later this year in the One Year Bible! But, these two chapters may give you some more insight into the spiritual meaning of the term Babylon. If you do want to read more about Babylon in context of these two Revelation chapters, check out <\/span>this link<\/span> for an interesting commentary.\u00a0 Below is an image of Babylon before its destruction\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

It is interesting in the middle of Jeremiah 51 we have a few verses of a hymn of praise to God \u2013 verses 15 through 19. Again, in verse 18, idols are mentioned and can be assumed as one of the prime reasons of Babylon\u2019s destruction: \u201cIdols are worthless; they are lies! The time is coming when they will all be destroyed.\u201d<\/em> Do you believe that idols are worthless? Are they lies?\u00a0 What are some of our modern day idols that are worthless and lies?\u00a0 Are you rejecting worshiping any and all of our modern day idols and focusing your worship and time and love toward God and Jesus?\u00a0 Please, leave those worthless idols behind\u2026 and don\u2019t pick them up ever again!<\/span><\/p>\n

The other thing to note in this chapter is that earlier in Jeremiah we read about the coming destruction of Jerusalem \u2013 but always with the note of ultimate redemption. In this chapter with Babylon, and other chapters discussing Babylon, there is no redemption for Babylon. This city will not be restored\u2026\u00a0 Below is artist John Martin\u2019s \u201cFall of Babylon\u201d<\/em> from Illustrations from the Bible<\/em>, 1835:<\/span><\/p>\n

Worship Video: <\/strong>Today\u2019s readings in Jeremiah chapter 51 reminds me of Chris Tomlin\u2019s song \u201cHoly is the Lord\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n
