Jeremiah 50 · Grade 4
A Redeemer Who Is Strong
Read and Think
Chapters 50 and 51 are the longest oracle in Jeremiah, and they are about Babylon. The empire God used to discipline Judah would itself be judged for its pride. Behold, a people comes from the north. Babylon had been the hammer of the whole earth, but now the hammer would be broken.
Alongside judgment on Babylon, God promised restoration for his people. Israel and Judah would return together, weeping and seeking God. They would say, Come, and join yourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten. Though they had been lost sheep, God would bring them back to their pasture.
God promised complete forgiveness. The iniquity of Israel would be sought, and there would be none. Their Redeemer is strong. Yahweh of Armies is his name. God would plead their cause and bring rest.
