Jeremiah 51:27-29
When God summons the nations for judgment, even the greatest empire collapses under His decree.
27 “Set up a standard in the land! Blow the trumpet among the nations! Prepare the nations against her! Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz! Appoint a marshal against her! Cause the horses to come up as the rough canker worm!
28 Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, its governors, and all its deputies, and all the land of their dominion!
29 The land trembles and is in pain; for the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
When God summons the nations for judgment, even the greatest empire collapses under His decree.
To summon the nations to assemble for war against Babylon as instruments of the LORD’s judgment and to declare that the earth trembles as God fulfills His plan to make Babylon desolate.
Jeremiah 51:27–29 continues the prophecy of Babylon’s destruction by describing the mobilization of foreign nations summoned by God to execute judgment.
Babylon Sunk: The LORD’s Vengeance, Israel’s Deliverance, and the Stone Cast into the Euphrates
The LORD will make Babylon sink under the weight of her violence, idolatry, pride, and bloodshed, while calling his people to flee, remember Zion, and trust his irreversible word.
