Pastor Patrick Anthony Scripture: Jeremiah 49:1-39 Up until this point the oracles against the nations have been chapter long oracles, but in chapter 49 God rattles off oracles against Ammon, Edom, Damascus, Kedar, and Elam. God drives home the point that He is the king of all nations. However, each one has something in which they are placing their trust. We are weak and dependent creatures, which is why we gravitate toward some sense of security. But there is only one refuge in life and in death that is truly secure. Anything else we put our trust in is not only rebellion against God deserving of judgment but will fail us both now, and when we stand before God on the last day.

Pastor Patrick Anthony Scripture: Jeremiah 48:1-47 We turn this week to the oracle against the nation of Moab. Moab is a distant cousin of Israel and has been a thorn in Israel's side since they entered the Promised Land. Overall, Moab has avoided the worst consequences of the surrounding conflicts with foreign nations that God's people have experienced. In the meantime, they have become wealthy and overly self-confident. Additionally, rather than mourn, they have celebrated the discipline God poured out on Judah. Now they will suffer the judgment they deserve. Their felt sense of security will be shattered. Yet, God will not celebrate their judgment – in fact, He will mourn, He will urge them to flee, and He will promise future blessings.  

Pastor Patrick Anthony Scripture: Jeremiah 46:1-47:7 We now begin the final section of the book of Jeremiah where we hear God's message to the nations, beginning with Egypt and Philistia. God appointed Jeremiah a prophet to the nations (1:10) because God is the sovereign ruler of all things. He is the one who raises up kings and brings them down (Dan. 2:21). All rulers and authorities are answerable to Him. But God is not simply displaying His power, He is also revealing their need, proclaiming His judgment (giving them an opportunity to repent), and comforting His people. No matter the apparent chaos of our world we can know God is working all things according to the counsel of His will to accomplish His purposes!
