Read: Jeremiah 51:1-53: Titus 2:1-15; Psalm 99:1-9; Proverbs 26:17
God had used Babylon as his war club and weapon to shatter nations that were ready for judgment and now it was Babylon’s time to be judged. God would use the Assyrians to do that. They would be as ruthless and unmerciful as Babylon had. This is a picture of the end days when Babylon will be destroyed in the end. All of her gods and idols will be judged and destroyed.
Paul has a word for all the leaders. Older men should be great examples of temperance, faith and love through everything they have endured. Older women should not talk about others negatively or drink much wine but train the younger women to love their husbands and children to love their homes and practice self-control. The young men should be self-controlled and teach by example what it means to be truthful and speak the truth. Those that have bosses should try to pleas their bosses by respecting them and giving them their trust and honor. Everyone should have self-control and righteousness because that is what sets us apart from the world and shows that Jesus is in us.
Lord, help us to live your grace and goodness.
