August 31, 2026, Jeremiah 25:15-38
15 Thus the Lord,
the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup of the wine of
wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16 They
shall drink and stagger and be crazed because of the sword that I am
sending among them.”
17 So I took the cup from the Lord's hand, and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: 18 Jerusalem
and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a
desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; 19 Pharaoh
king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people, 20 and all
the mixed tribes among them; all the kings of the land of Uz and all the
kings of the land of the Philistines (Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the
remnant of Ashdod); 21 Edom, Moab, and
the sons of Ammon; 22 all the kings of Tyre,
all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastland across the
sea; 23 Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who
cut the corners of their hair; 24 all
the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell
in the desert; 25 all the kings of Zimri, all the
kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media; 26 all
the kings of the north, far and near, one after another, and all the
kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth. And after them the
king of Babylon[a] shall drink.
27 “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of
Israel: Drink, be drunk and vomit, fall and rise no more, because
of the sword that I am sending among you.’
28 “And if they refuse to accept the cup from your hand to
drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: You must drink! 29 For
behold, I begin to work disaster at the city that is called by my name,
and shall you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, for I am
summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the Lord of hosts.’
30 “You, therefore, shall prophesy against them all these
words, and say to them:
“‘The Lord will roar from on high,
and from his holy
habitation utter his voice;
he will roar mightily against his fold,
and shout, like those who
tread grapes,
against all the
inhabitants of the earth.
31 The clamor will resound to the ends of the earth,
for the Lord has an indictment against the
nations;
he is entering into judgment with all flesh,
and the wicked he will put
to the sword,
declares the Lord.’
32 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
Behold, disaster is going forth
from nation to nation,
and a great tempest is stirring
from the farthest parts of
the earth!
33 “And those pierced by the Lord on that day shall extend from one end of the earth
to the other. They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or
buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.
34 “Wail, you shepherds,
and cry out,
and roll in ashes, you
lords of the flock,
for the days of your slaughter and dispersion have come,
and you shall fall like a
choice vessel.
35 No refuge will remain for the shepherds,
nor escape for the lords
of the flock.
36 A voice—the cry of the shepherds,
and the wail of the lords
of the flock!
For the Lord is laying
waste their pasture,
37 and the peaceful folds are devastated
because of the fierce
anger of the Lord.
38 Like a lion he has left his lair,
for their land has become
a waste
because of the sword of the oppressor,
and because of his fierce
anger.”
How does God view all of
the earth’s nations? What will happen one day because of God’s burning anger?
Are you ready for judgment day? Are your loved ones ready for judgement day? I
know my loved ones are not. I pray daily for them and for my witness to them.
Please join me in lifting up all of our loved ones to God.
