Jeremiah 46
The conquest of Egypt was prophesied by Jeremiah. This was fulfilled when Nebuchadnezzar invaded Egypt in 568-567 B.C. Egypt was similar in a rebellious attitude as Judah and was quickly subdued by the Babylonians. Who do you put your confidence in?

Application:
Apparently the Egyptians did not learn either! They did not learn from the mistakes of the past. You cannot go against God and his proophecies. Why is it that we don't learn from the sins of others and obey God? Do you know why there are prophecies before the actual fulfilment. There are warning of things that will happen so that there is a chance to repent. Remember mercy precedes judgement.

Our balm in Gilead is Jesus Christ. He is the one, we go for healing.

Verses to meditate on:
10 But that day belongs to the LORD, the Lord Almighty—
a day of vengeance, for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour till it is satisfied,
till it has quenched its thirst with blood.
For the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will offer sacrifice
in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.

11 "Go up to Gilead and get balm,
O Virgin Daughter of Egypt.
But you multiply remedies in vain;
there is no healing for you.

Jeremiah 46 with Commentaries, verse by verse


Psalm 90, with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 91, with Commentaries, verse by verse

Psalm 90 was a Psalm of Moses asking the eternal God to show compassion on his servants. Moses compared God’s eternity and awesome might against man’s short longevity and frailty of life.

Psalm 91 is a psalm speaking of God’s protection and security. Words which describe God’s protection include refuge, fortress, cover you, save you, etc.. This is a wonderful psalm to cling to when we face physical danger and persecution. The words gives us strength and resolve to remain faithful to Him


Verses to meditate on:
47 Remember how fleeting is my life.
For what futility you have created all men!

48 What man can live and not see death,
or save himself from the power of the grave [e] ?
Selah
