It is day 256 and we're reading Jeremiah 51 Lamentations 4 and 5 Proverbs chapter 18, 9 through 12.
one of the things that you're going to see i mean in not too many days roughly 100 or so from now we're going to get to revelate the book of revelation chapter 17 and 18 those two chapters talk about an ultimate babylon
so so obviously whenever there's a prophecy there's always kind of an immediate fulfillment of the prophecy and there's going to be like a distant or or end times or not even necessarily end times but as i said distant let's make it simple an immediate fulfillment of the prophecy and a distant fulfillment of the prophecy
the immediate fulfillment of the prophecy has already come true obviously it's it was that the middle persian empire came against babylon and babylon which god used remember god god used babylon to bring his judgment on his people again not because babylon was good not because nebuchadnezzar was good they were not and he was not
we have one more chapter chapter 52 of Jeremiah tomorrow but today is this one chapter the longest chapter as i mentioned in Jeremiah chapter 51 and what do we have we have this the ultimate essentially ultimate condemnation of babylon

"
we can ignore pleasure, we can ignore God speaking to us in good ways he says but pain insists on being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, He speaks to us in our conscience but shouts in our pains. Pain is God's megaphone to rouse a deaf world and no doubt pain as God's megaphone is a terrible instrument it may lead to final and unrepented rebellion but it gives the only opportunity for the bad man for amendment. It removes the veil, it plants the flag of truth within the fortress of the rebel soul

I think it's Jeremiah who he's talking, he's preaching to the people and he's telling them, you can't just keep saying this is the temple of the Lord.
behold, I will send Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring him against this land and against its inhabitants and against all these surrounding nations and will utterly destroy them and make them a horror, a thing to be hissed and everlasting ruin.
like Isaiah and Jeremiah.
He's speaking, they're speaking to us because we do the same stupid things that the God's chosen people did in the past.

he talks about this and he asks the question, how do we understand the psalmist who says, hey, the best thing I want is I wanna see my enemies suffer in front of me.
Where the psalmist says, okay, this is God's word. I wanna, and the prayer is, I wanna see my enemies suffer. And let me see them suffer because I don't just wanna know that they suffer. I wanna be able to essentially take comfort in that.
