Wrapping up Jeremiah today ch 46-52. Jeremiah relates the prophecy of God's discipline on surrounding nations. Those who worship other gods and ignore the one true God will receive their fate. The prophecy is a warning. How often do we heed the warnings today? Do we turn from our convictions of ways we know to be wrong, or do we ignore God's warnings to us to the point they become mere background noise. Change is needed. God desires us to repent and turn from evil ways, not gloss them over as "not really that bad". Of all the nations with mighty armies mentioned by Jeremiah, only Egypt remains, and that could be changing! God's prophecies come true, we ought not test them!
