Jeremiah 51-52
Babylon is destroyed and tossed
into the landfill of history. This
book is filled with the destruction of one great culture after another. Sad but so what!!!
I sat in a park last night in
the world’s greatest city of culture and fashion and watched a homeless man go
through the trash bins foraging for food.
When he had gathered enough for his evening meal he sat down beside me
and ate. I wondered what had
happened to the little boy full of fun that had grown into this broken old
man? The loss of a human!!!
Why am I thinking of cultures
and humans? Because I am thinking
of this verse,
“Then Jesus told them this parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred
sheep and loses one of them. Does
he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep
until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders
and goes home.’” Luke 15:5-6, my favorite chapter in the Bible
God will destroy countries and
cultures but He is not willing that any human should perish!!!
