Jeremiah 51:46

"“My people, go away from the middle of her, and each of you save yourselves from the LORD’s fierce anger."

Key Reflection

This verse urges God's people to distance themselves from Babylon, symbolizing worldly influences that lead to spiritual corruption and divine judgment. By leaving, they protect themselves from the severe wrath of the Lord, emphasizing the importance of separation from evil to avoid punishment and maintain righteousness.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Literally, “And beware lest your heart faint, and ye be afraid because of the rumour that is heard in the land: for in one year shall one rumour come, and afterward in another year another rumour; and violence shall be in the land etc.” The fall of Babylon was to be preceded by a state of unquiet, men’s minds being unsettled partly by rumors of the warlike preparations of the Medes, and of actual invasions: partly by intestine feuds. So before the conquest of Jerusalem by the Romans the Church had similar warningsMatthew 24:6-7.
