Jeremiah
"The LORD has rejected your trusted allies"
Text: Jeremiah 2:37
THE THREAT OF A BABYLONIAN INVASION
The waging of war has been a problem with mankind for the longest time. Many held the ambition of establishing a global kingdom.
There were local wars (neighbouring countries) that were fought frequently between Israel and the Philistines, the Moabites, the Ammonites, the Edomites, the Syrians etc.
There were regional wars, where powerful countries invade with huge armies. Smaller countries always feared that they would be soundly defeated. Israel sought the help of allies instead of turning to the LORD their God for help!
“Why do you gad about so much to change your way?
Also you shall be ashamed of Egypt as you were ashamed of Assyria.
Indeed you will go forth from him
With your hands on your head;
For the LORD has rejected your trusted allies,
And you will not prosper by them.”
Jeremiah 2:36-37
