Devotional: Jeremiah 47:1-7

Today’s passage: Jeremiah 47:1-7

Helpful thoughts:

  • God’s promise of judgment now turns toward the Philistines.
  • The phrase, “Sword of the Lord” is used here as a figure of speech for judgment. (Judges 7:20)
  • The Philistines were attacked and defeated by the Egyptians around 587 B.C.  Yet, this judgment was of the Lord.

Questions to consider:

  1. Do you think these nations would have expected to be judged by, or even used in judgment by the Lord who was the God of Israel?  Why or why not?
  2. How far does God’s sovereignty, omniscience and justice extend?  Only to Israel?  Only to the church?
  3. How far does the love of God extend?  What is our role on this earth as the body of Christ (As ambassadors)? (Matthew 5:13-16, Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8)
