The Lord is Rising

Jeremiah 51

Inspired thots

God has set His plans in motion. He is rising up to vindicate His people from their enemies. Though they are rebellious, the Lord is merciful and gracious to His people. He does not rebuke or chastise forever. He will bring down the haughty; He rescues those who trust in Him regardless of the seemingly long wait.

It is TIME for WAR; sound the battle cry for the Lord! One must be prepared by sharpening the arrows and taking up the shield. (v11) The army of God must be prepared NOW for the coming battle as God will arise soon to vindicate. God's army must LIFT UP THE BANNER, reinforce the guard and STATION the WATCHMEN! (v12)

Let us be used as a WAR CLUB in the Lord's hand (v20) "Do not lose heart or be afraid when rumor is heard in the land" (v46)
