Jeremiah Chapter 25 (Bible Study)

Jeremiah 25: Prophecy of Seventy-Year Captivity and God's Judgment on Nations.
Jeremiah 25 prophesies a seventy-year captivity for Israel due to their disobedience and rejection of God's prophets. God uses Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, as His instrument of judgment to bring destruction and desolation upon Israel and surrounding nations. The land will suffer, losing joy, commerce, and normal life, as it rests for seventy years to make up for neglected sabbatical years. The prophecy extends to all nations, symbolized by the "wine cup of God's wrath," indicating universal judgment for sin and rebellion. Babylon rises as a dominant power, fulfilling God's judgment on the nations.
