Jeremiah 46:25-26
The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, said: “Behold, I am bringing punishment upon Amon of Thebes, and Pharaoh and Egypt and her gods and her kings, upon Pharaoh and those who trust in him. I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their life, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. Afterward Egypt shall be inhabited as in the days of old, declares the Lord.
Tag: God is Sovereign Over Every Nation - Even UnGodly Nations
In our world today we tend to see nations do what they want to do. We have a corrupt world and the leaders of those worlds are not God centered in their leadership. We talk and hear about the United States being a “Christian Nation.” Yet, leadership is constantly being discovered as corrupt and compromising in their ways. The citizens of other countries, and our own, worship and idolize everything but the God of the Universe. Today our world is corrupt in every corner of the globe. Yet, as in the above passage, God is sovereign over ALL nations. The example above is to show us that even thought Israel is the apple of God’s eye, He is also watching other nations. In the context of Jeremiah, the remnant of Israel, who are left in the land after the Babylonian captivity, have decided to run to Egypt for safety. God has told them not to do that is the property Jeremiah. Since they refused to listen, God says that He will destroy Egypt (and her leader). God is sovereign over all nations. Whether they worship God, or not. God directs the kings of this earth to accomplish His great plan.
