Jeremiah Chapters 50-51 (Bible Study)

Prophecy and Destruction of Babvlon in Jeremiah 50-51.
Jeremiah 50-51 contains God's prophecy against Babylon, the dominant world power of the time, predicting its sudden destruction and desolation due to its idolatry and opposition to God. Despite Babylon's power, God declares it will be conquered by the Medo-Persians through a strategic invasion, leading to its complete ruin, comparable to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The prophecy also assures the survival and future repentance of Israel. The historical fulfillment includes the diversion of the Euphrates River, allowing enemy forces to enter Babylon and destroy it, leaving it a desolate ruin as it remains today.
