Seventy Years of the Cup of Wrath (Jer. 25:1-38)

So far in Jeremiah, we have heard Jeremiah’s sermons against Jerusalem and Judah. Tonight we come to Jeremiah’s first sermon against the nations.

Our text tonight is all about Babylon and Jerusalem. And it is passages like this one in Jeremiah 25 that set up the NT use of the image of Babylon as the “city of man.” So as we hear about Babylon and Jerusalem in our text tonight, we need to see how judgment begins with the household of God – but if it begins with us, what will become of those who do not obey the gospel? (1 Peter 4)
