Jeremiah 50:44

We are safe and protected in Christ. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that anyone who believed in Him would have everlasting life…no greater love exists!

All power belongs to God!!


Jeremiah 50:44

44 “Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the floodplain of the Jordan

Against the dwelling place of the strong;

But I will make them suddenly run away from her.

And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?

For who is like Me?

Who will arraign Me?

And who is that shepherd

Who will withstand Me?”


The sword of God would overturn all elements of Babylon’s greatness—its leaders, its weapons, and its wealth. NKJ Bible.


It is Israel’s comfort in distress, that, though they are weak, their Redeemer is strong. This may be applied to believers, who complain of the dominion of sin and corruption, and of their own weakness and manifold infirmities. Their Redeemer is able to keep what they commit to him; and sin shall not have dominion over them. He will give them that rest which remains for the people of God. Also here is Babylon’s sin, and their punishment. The sins are, idolatry and persecution. He that will not save his people in their sins, never will countenance the wickedness of his open enemies. The judgments of God for these sins will lay them waste. In the judgments denounced against prosperous Babylon, and the mercies promised to afflicted Israel, we learn to choose to suffer affliction with the people of God, rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Matthew Henry Commentary.


Job 41:10  No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me?


Jeremiah 49:19  “Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the floodplain of the Jordan against the dwelling place of the strong; but I will suddenly make him run away from her. And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her? For who is like Me? Who will arraign Me? And who is that shepherd who will withstand Me?”
