This song should always be read at Passover, the time of the Resurrection, every year.

Son 1:1 The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.

Solomon was the wisest of all men, and we today can have that knowledge when we study God’s Word. We fall in love with the Word of God, as our bridegroom Jesus Christ falls in love with us. This is how we can understand the emotions of our Heavenly Father for us, and eventually how we also return that love.

Shulamite Girl: Son 1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

The girl here is symbolic of the Elect. The mouth is put for the Words given from it. Our husband, Jesus, has testified many promises in His Word, He has lead us into ALL truth, and once we realize that it is for us, the elect, our hearts are overflowed with the love he has. It is so real and so effective upon our countenance the effect is similar to wine upon the body.

Shulamite Girl:Son 1:3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.

Shulamite comes from Shunim (BDB 7766 – a DOUBLE resting place). This indicates the ELECT have a Double portion, just like Elisha received from Elijah, and also pictured in the two good churches of Revelation (Smyrna & Philadelphia). Smyrna basically means “myrrh ointment”, and their witness will help others to see, as that healing salve.

G4666 smoor’-nah Apparently strengthened for G3464; myrrh: – myrrh.

G3464 : “myrrh”, that is, (by implication) perfumed oil: – ointment.

 
 

She rejoices in the NAME of her lover. As the Elect, we also rejoice and celebrate His name:

Isa 12:2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Isa 12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

Isa 12:4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted.

Isa 12:5 Sing unto the LORD; for He hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.

Notice God is the LORD JEHOVAH. They are ONE entity, Who we not only obtain salvation, but also worship HIS NAME (only ONE name). This is where the wells of water come forth. This ONE so named is the ONE who created everything!

Just Like Zech 14:9 says there shall be ONE LORD, and His NAME ONE.

Shulamite Girl: Son 1:4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright (one) love(d) thee.

God’s love is more memorable than the memory of intoxication. Once you experience God’s Word in a way that will cause you to never forget His loving promises.

Shulamite Girl: Son 1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

Black here means tanned skin, and “comely” means beautiful. The tents of Kedar were beautiful. She is proud about her beauty, this is similar to the ELECT who have pride in their knowledge of the Word of God (Jer 9:24).

Shulamite Girl: Son 1:6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother’s children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

Some people are angry with the Elect because they have this pride. They attempt to separate the Elect from the source of their pride, that is God’s Holy Word. They in fact are jealous of the “Son of God” shining down upon them. Our vineyard is the Word of God where all truth is found. They try to judge and condemn us for such study.

Rom_8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom_8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 
 

Shepherd: Son 1:7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?

The Shepherd wants to know where she will be to meet her. In our analogy, we are anxious to meet the Lord, as He is to meet us where we are in our life. He doesn’t come to “upbraid” us as James 1:5 confirms, but He comes to us to give us His love, that which He promised us in His Word.

Shepherd: Son 1:8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds’ tents.

Here He is saying, “Keep looking for ME.” The Elect search day in and out, His Word because His love given therein is as intoxicating as wine.

Shepherd: Son 1:9 I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.

Pharoah’s chariots were always magnificent in beauty. This ancient compliment, meant she is capable, she is sturdy, she is fast. There is a passage in the book of Job (Job 39:19-25) that gives the eloquence of the war horses, and there determination to go into battle willingly and without fear. This is the example of the Elect, the lover that is a “CAN-DO” type person, spiritually speaking.

Shepherd: Son 1:10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.

You are so ladylike, so stately. Again, the Elect have many blessings both spiritually and literally from our Shepherd. This is the way God sees His Elect, even if you have flaws. There are so many passages where God is angry with people (like in the book of Jeremiah), but this is the one special occurrence of His pure love pouring forth to His beatiful Bride, the Elect.

Shepherd: Son 1:11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.

We will have everything just right for you, even the quarters.

Joh_14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Shulamite Girl: Son 1:12 While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.

This perfume is made of spikenard. The woman with the Alabaster box was the ONLY one in the room who KNEW Christ would die on the Cross soon, and she anointed Him for the process. Soon, during the end days, the Elect will be the only ones with the precious ointment, and also the only ones with the knowledge of the false christ coming first, even in a room full of Apostles and prophets, ONLY this woman KNEW what prophecy was about to happen.

Mar 14:3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

 
 

Shulamite Girl: Son 1:13 A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.

The Word of God, as it is “sweet kisses”, and a bundle of Myrrh would be very valuable but not for the price of money, but because of the great COMFORT and warmth it lends to one who receives it. The Elect look forward to the reading of His word, as comforting and sweet as snuggling with the one you love every moment together. God gives us an analogy we can clearly understand.

Can anything separate us from THIS great love?

Shepherd: Son 1:14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

Camphire is actually a Cypress (Hosea 14:8), an evergreen which is ETERNAL, this is not a one night stand or a love “affair”, but one kind of eternal love bestowed upon the Elect. Engedi, which means the fountain of the kid. The vineyard is Christ and we (the Elect) are the branches. The Living water comes, again, from Christ, the Vine.

Shepherd: Son 1:15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.

The dove, is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, and the Shepherd knows that His love can SEE the truth given by the Holy Spirit upon the reading of His Word.

Shepherd: Son 1:16 Behold, thou art fair, My beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.

This is a compliment to the Elect. There is no need to scorn or deride her, or rebuke her, because she has that “Spikenard” the ointment of faith, the ointment that heals the eyes to see (Rev 3:18). She carries it, and gives it to those churches in Revelation who need rebuking, and who need this great healing eyesalve witch she possesses, as it is written for the church of Smyrna (Myrrh ointment).

Shepherd: Son 1:17 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.

A fir tree doesn’t shed it’s leaves in the winter time, and He is eternally our “house” and our warmth.

Jer 52:1 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

This chapter is a Pop test, after reading 51 chapters of prophecy, we now must APPLY that which we have learned.

 
 

One thing we have learned is the Zedekiah did NOT follow the prophecy of Jeremiah, and here we are presented with his mother’s name and her father’s name, which happened to be Jeremiah too!

 

Zedekiah didn’t trust in the Father above, but rather his own fathers which provided a FALSE covering.

It is hidden in the name of his mother, Hamutal, here mentioned by name for the FIRST time.

Hamu’tal. (akin to the dew), or in BDB = “father-in-law is protection”

tal

From H2926; dew (as covering vegetation): – dew.

AHLB – I. Dew: [Hebrew and Aramaic] II. Ruin: A city that is covered over and made into a mound. [df: lt] [freq. 41] |kjv: dew, heap, strength| {str: 2919, 2920, 8510}

We see in this name, the prophecy that come over Zedekiah, being ruined and his city made a HEAP. People who try to “cover over” the truth written in Jeremiah, trust in another god, and will have the same fate as Zedekiah.

 
 

Jer 52:2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

This confirms what God was saying in verse one, and shows us why the name Hamutal was mentioned.

Jer 52:3 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till He had cast them out from His presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

The thing that came to pass in Jerusalem, was the great exile of people from OUT of the land. This is what the entire book of Jeremiah is about, the coming judgment and ANGER of the Lord, and the false messiah coming to “capture” the people, the 6th trump.

Jer 52:4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

 
 

Jer 52:5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

How many years was that? 3 1/2 years, but we have an even clearer picture drawn in the next few verses that accurately pinpoint the BEGINNING of the 2 1/2 mths, ending in the 7th month with the death of Gedaliah (II Kings 25:25) – symbolic of the death of the 2 witnesses.

 
 

Jer 52:6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

This aligns with the arrival of Satan as the false messiah, and the “sacrifice and the oblation shall cease” (from Dan 9:27) at his arrival.

Jer 52:7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.

Think of this in the sense of deception. When Satan arrives as the false messiah, even the biggest scholars will run because they don’t have the armor of the living God, which is the word of God. They won’t have ANY defences, no covering, no “dew” as in verse one.

Jer 52:8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

That state of confusion is going to come, as God has stated in this book over and over, and if you try to fight him without any Biblical knowledge in place, then you have no choice but to give in and worship him instead of the REAL King of Kings.

Jer 52:9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.

Hamath is mentioned in the 35th chapter, and he was the chief kenite (I Chron 2:55). Why mention the kenites? Because when satan arrives, his own children will become the judges as they help rule the people with him.

Jer 52:10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

This will be similar to spiritual death in a prophetic sense.

Jer 52:11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

Zedekiah was of the TRUE KING LINE of JUDAH! He was supposed to be following God. It goes to show, in this Pop test, that bloodline, even Judah bloodline, doesn’t make you a GOOD FIG! He will have his eyes “put out” to show us today, that blindness will fall upon ALL the people no matter what their bloodline is.

Jer 52:12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

Nebuzaradan was the chief executioner for the King.

Jer 52:13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

This is the HEAP produced from trusting in the DEW that won’t protect you.

Jer 52:14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

This is the fulfillment of the coming of Babylon, which was prophesied for 51 chapters. The Good figs have already been safely carried off.

Jer 52:15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

The residue were all the people who REFUSED to obey God, and their chief bad fig being Zedekiah the King of Judah himself (see Jer 29:17)

 
 

Jer 52:16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

The only exception to those who were left, were Jeremiah himself and the daughters of the King of Judah who were to travel with Jeremiah into a new land and set up the throne of Judah in that land, which still exists to this day.

Jer 52:17 Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

They took everything that was too heavy to take during the second siege.

Jer 52:18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

This vile King of Babylon will use these “holy” vessels to make sacrifices unto himself, and cause all REAL sacrifices and vessels given to God alone to CEASE because everyone will think that satan is Christ.

Jer 52:19 And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.

All the religious things were taken over by the false jesus.

Jer 52:20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

They will take over EVERYTHING RELIGIOUS.

Jer 52:21 And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

The pillars symbolize the STRENGTH of the religious system. It will be weakened over a single minute, when satan arrives. There is no strength in church buildings.

Jer 52:22 And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.

The network of churches, with all their worldwide good deeds (their fruit), displayed as holy to the entire world will all be given unto the false one, and it will become his church network.

Jer 52:23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

If this is a FOUR sided building, then this FRUIT will be represented as 24 pomegranates on each side (like the 24 elders around the throne of God Rev 5:14). The four corners of the earth will each see this “holiness” put on display for every nation of the world. FOUR more pomegranates makes 100, or the FOUR faces described in Ezekiel.

Jer 52:24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

Seraiah means God has prevailed, and Zephaniah means hidden.

Jer 52:25 He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.

They rounded all the people up who claimed to be “priests”.

Jer 52:26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

They were taken to Riblah, the land where the Kenites ruled (Hemath), thus fulfilling Amos 6:14.

Jer 52:27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

They have to surrender to the King of Babylon, because God has pronounced for 51 chapters that satan would come at the 6th trump.

Jer 52:28 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:

Two prophets document this seven years (Ezekiel & Joel), and now Jeremiah who would help give Daniel the FOUNDATION upon which his prophecies would be laid. That is why the pattern is repeated, that satan (the king of Babylon) comes at the END of 7 years, for 2 1/2 mths which is explained in great detail in II Kings 25.

Jer 52:29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

 
 

Jer 52:30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

4,600 was all that was left, they were disobeying GOD because He had instructed them to go into captivity, but they didn’t obey, HENCE ALL THESE ARE BAD FIGS (with the exception of Jeremiah and the daughters who were freed).

Jer 52:31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

Jehoiachin was FREED, but Jehoiachin was disobedient and God changed his name to Jeconiah and then CONIAH (removing God’s name completely), but the King of Babylon frees this one man.

Jer 52:32 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

Satan will also do this, when he is here. He will reward those that are disobedient to the true God.

Jer 52:33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

This guy couldn’t protect anything, but he is given royal garments, authority, and other things he never deserved.

Jer 52:34 And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

This is a diet of lies from the king of Babylon himself. We can compare this to Ezekiel who was taken captive at the same time as Jeconiah, but God lifted up Ezekiel and gave him one of the most important keys of prophecy ever written.

 
 

Ezekiel would secure for us the time, the faces of the cherubim, and teach us about the coming king of Babylon, and that final time of peace with the TRUE Christ for 1000 years.

 
 

It goes back to verse one, who’s DEW covers you? Ezekiel had the Dew of the TRUE Father not a fake. Jeconiah would only have the rewards of this life, and then he will die, ending his life and any real contribution to humanity.

Jer 51:33 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.

The harvest time has continually been understood as the end of this age, when Christ returns to take His FIRST RIPE fruit unto Himself. The harvest will come, and the threshing will take place, so that the fruit can come forth.

 
 

Jer 51:34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.

 
 

The oldest Hebrew text reads, not “me” but “us”, those who are being thrashed. The King of Babylon, as the fake Messiah will do all of these things.

 
 

Jer 51:35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.

The “blood” shall be upon the INHABITANTS of Chaldea (or Babylon/Confusion) because it is THERE that the source or heart of confusion came from, i.e. the kenites, who welcome and love the false messiah.

 
 

Jer 51:36 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.

God, using His elect will destroy, the confusion for EVER!

Jer 51:37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.

We know this is future. A small note on heaps here, that Babylon’s sins will also be heaped upon them, as expressed in Isaiah 2:11-17

Jer 51:38 They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps.

Jer 51:39 In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.

God is going to let them dig their own hole, make their own bed.

Jer 51:40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.

It will not make any difference what their position is in the eyes of men. God will still correct them and stop them from further confusing people.

Jer 51:41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!

Sheshach is not a real place, since that is the case, God is signifying first the future generation, and second the CONFUSION in which satan and his kenites will impart.

This is the deeper meat of God’s Word, and it IS important to know who Sheshach is. The only way to know is to understand the Massoretic notes on the cryptogram, and that makes two crypotgrams in ONE chapter! An in depth chapter, and an in depth book, this one called Jeremiah. See Jer 25:26 note in the Companion Bible.

Jer 51:42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.

The waves of confusion will wash over you if you are part of Babylon/Sheshach, satan defacto.

Jer 51:43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.

Her cities were full and full of buildings, but eventually, as Christ said, not one stone shall be left standing upon one another! There is a time when confusion will be destroyed.

Jer 51:44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

Bel is the king of Babylon, eventually it will be satan himself. Whatever he has said in LIES or DECEPTION will be brought down. God will not put up with lies, or even gossip. Eventually, the gossip WILL BE REMOVED along with all the lies they told to complete their gossip.

Jer 51:45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.

God commands us to come out from confusion, and also gossip! If lies come out of your mouth regarding another person then you’d better stop right there, or you will have to EAT your own words.

Jer 51:46 And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.

Don’t let rumours and gossip rule your land, because one year it shall be revealed what was said in secret, and if it be lies, God will not be happy. In the prophetic sense, this is the rumour of the one world system that will come right before the deadly wound spoken of in Rev. 13.

Jer 51:47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.

This is prophetic of the spiritual death to come for all those who don’t care to read God’s Word and understand it.

Jer 51:48 Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.

The spoilers are also the Bruisers (ships of Chittim) mentioned in the book of Daniel. As it is written, God said I will use YOU to break in pieces the confusion. This lines up with the Ships of the Bruisers coming with God as their leader to break apart that great city of confusion and gossip!

Jer 51:49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.

This verse speaks of Israel, not just Judah, because it is prophetic of the group of ELECT (of ANY tribe or race) to come in the last days who will operate with the sole power of the Holys Spirit to break apart LIES and CONFUSION.

Jer 51:50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.

Always watch Jerusalem, it is the barometer of prophecy in the end times. God took her to wife in Ezekiel 16, so we need to watch her to know where we are in prophecy.

Jer 51:51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’S house.

Go back to Jeremiah 7, which explains exactly what is going on in the Temple of the Lord, and even the sanctuaries of today. The doctrines are not of God, they are written of in Revelation 2 & 3.

Jer 51:52 Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.

Eventually, when the people see what they have done, spreading lies, gossip, and rumors in the land, they will groan, and wish they had not done such evil rumors.

Jer 51:53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from Me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.

This word spoilers in the Hebrew is SHADAD and it means IMPREGNABLE. They can’t be impregnated with lies. Nothing will creep in, not lies, not gossipy lies, not false words, they are the ELECT, and it is written in Mark 13 that you will be delivered up and the Holy Spirit will say PERFECT words from HIM.

Jer 51:54 A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:

She’s going down.

Jer 51:55 Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

Babylon has a LOT to say, they even sing for her little sayings in verse 48, where she is praised and praised for all her lies and gossip! It seems her voice is the greatest when these fallacies are taught and repeated, the bruisers shall arise, and their voice will be uttered like the thunder of God! He is going to make some REAL lightning not all this fake stuff they’ve passed off as truth.

Jer 51:56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.

Their weapons shall not prosper. What is their weapons? Their MOUTH. Whatever they have spoken will come back to them, they’d better be careful, that what they speak is of God and of Scripture, for there is the ONLY place we can rest and know that God is our strength. He will not strengthen LIES, not in any form, whether doctrine or gossip, it just won’t stand.

Jer 51:57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

Her leaders will be made drunk. Don’t lead the cause of confusion! Don’t lend to her ways and her arrows! God will bring ALL her methods to control the people down to the ground.

Jer 51:58 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.

They labor in vain. It is written:

Psa_127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Don’t go build a house of LIES! It may take a lot of work to build a case against someone, but that doesn’t make it true, and it certainly is NOT righteous. Their deeds are NOT gold, gossip NEVER is, and it will burn in that Holy consuming fire of the Lord God Almighty! They will be tested by that fire, and there will be very little left.

Jer 51:59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.

If you translate these names, you get a great deal more here. Seraiah means the “God has prevailed”, Neriah “lamp of God”, Zedekiah “judgment and justice”, and Seraiah “Yahaveh has prevailed”.

Jer 51:60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.

Why read all the words of Jeremiah? It dispels confusion for those who have ears to hear.

Jer 51:61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read ALL these words;

Don’t read PART of it, don’t just take PART of this great work, but understand ALL of it, all that is written from the LORD.

Jer 51:62 Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.

 
 

Jer 51:63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:

Euphrates means “the good and abounding river”, and the river/water is symbolic of people. God is saying to fix the word of Jeremiah and THROW IT AT THOSE PEOPLE. Let it sink into their minds and hearts, that God has spoken, and they have no choice to listen, when one day He returns they will realize it and know what they have done.

Jer 51:64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

It’s a stumbling block to her, the very Words of Almighty God, trip her up, because all she wants to do is believe lies and gossip from the mouth of some “mighty man” or leader. These words of Jeremiah are applicable to today, better let them SINK into your mind and heart, so that you are not surprised when they come to pass AS IT IS WRITTEN.

 

Jer 51:1 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against Me, a destroying wind;

Babylon here is prophetically speaking of the confusion coming out of the masses of confused people. God is AGAINST the CITY and those who DWELL (or agree with) there.

DWELL DEFINITION yaw-shab’

A primitive root; properly to sit down (specifically as judge, in ambush, in quiet); by implication to dwell, to remain; causatively to settle, to marry.

Anyone who agrees with the teachings coming out of the world is “dwelling” with those doctrines, and God is AGAINST them too.

They DWELL “in the MIDST” of them. Is this a physical place where they dwell, like a city or a street? Well these words in HEBREW are actually a cryptogram!

When you work the cryptogram, instead of the words “in the MIDST” you have the “Chaldeans”, and it means People that are PARTICIPATING in Babylon or those those that are in the midst of THE confusion, in the futurist sense of the end times.

We also see here a “people” WITHIN a people! OR CERTAIN people from WITHIN Babylon, or the HEART of the controversy! We ARE talking about the kenites who bring about this confusion in the spiritual sense.

God doesn’t like CONFUSION which causes people to ambush each-other like the kenites would do to us if they could. This is basically EVIL FIGS, and when a true Christian sees this kind of activity, just like Jeremiah, THEY RECOGNIZE it and SEE IT.

Jeremiah looked and saw those bad nasty figs, based on HOW THEY BEHAVED. Thank you Father, for telling us that AT the HEART OF CONFUSION is this very Kenite methodology. WE TOO can recognize the BAD FIGS just like Jeremiah DID!

Jer 51:2 And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

A fanner is one who thrashes the grain. Someone would take the wheat and cast it into the air and the wind would blow away the chaff.

The fanners shall EMPTY the LAND. In verse one we had the “destroying wind”, and now we have the fanners blowing away the chaff OUT of the LAND.

When we look at the OUTLINE of Jeremiah, Jeremiah 1:10

See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms,

to root out,

and to pull down,

and to destroy,

and to throw down,

to build, and to plant.

That’s 6 actions AGAINST the world & the LAND.

If we follow the outline, the first stage is to ROOT OUT. This is necessary because the kenites are at the HEART of all this confusion, and they also are located in a master location, Israel. Once they are removed the LAND will be EMPTY. What LAND could this be referring to? In the futurist sense, the King of Babylon (satan) will be ruling in the LAND of Jerusalem.

This verse pictures so many in the LAND that are chaff, that it will be EMPTY when they are removed. It doesn’t say that something will be leftover, but EMPTY, those are not my Words, but God’s Words and we must heed the emphasis that God has placed upon it. If He says “EMPTY” then I say EMPTY! Just like in Jeremiah 10:20 where ALL her children are GONE, and NO ONE IS left to set up the Temple of the LORD.

We know that God will return and put HIS people in the LAND, that is the PLANT part. Which is the LAST part, just like the 7th trump is the LAST TRUMP. It is really beautiful to see Revelation tied into this.

Jer 51:3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.

 

This should be translated “NOT ONLY” the archers will be destroyed, but utterly the whole host.

Jer 51:4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.

They aren’t going to escape the confusion. It is a spiritual death that they are experiencing.

Jer 51:5 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

Both HOUSES are NOT forgotten! EVEN though their LAND is filled with sin. That LAND is Judah, which He chose and married in Ezekiel 16.

Jer 51:6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

Deliver his SOUL, not the flesh body. God wants your heart, not your bloodline.

Jer 51:7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

The golden cup brings us right up to Revelation. This future and coming King of Babylon affects the ENTIRE EARTH, not just the land of Judah.

Jer 51:8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

Suddenly is the key here. In the futurist sense, it will happen in a moment at the 7th trump.

Jer 51:9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

We “would” have, meaning we wanted to help them! We tried to help them, but she wouldn’t have any part of it, and was not healed. At that point, we have to let it go, God will come, and His judgment will make everything right.

Jer 51:10 The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.

The very bringing forth of the Word of God dispels confusion because lies cannot stand.

Jer 51:11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of His temple.

Sharpen your arrows of truth, which is the Word of God. His Temple is God’s elect. The third step in the Jer 1:10 outline is to DESTROY Babylon, and God will use His elect in part to execute His vengeance.

Jer 51:12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which He spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.

What is that standard? The Word of God! The Watchmen are recording the passage of benchmarks that take place, and as it gets close they sound the alarm.

Jer 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.

A direct reference to Revelation 17 of mystery Babylon. Revelation also discusses in chapter 11 how John is to measure the Temple.

Jer 51:14 The LORD of hosts hath sworn by Himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.

Caterpillers are locust. We know who the locust army is, and what they are saying against our God and against our country. It is happening.

Jer 51:15 He hath made the earth by His power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

As sure as God created the earth, He will close this dispensation when mystery Babylon comes to her full, and the locusts swarm over the land. God has the wisdom to complete this in His infinite wisdom, when “man” does not have this knowledge, without God they are just bags of hot air, like Job’s friends, going on and on in their own wisdom which is futile and empty compared to God’s wisdom. God’s wisdom is similar to the way He created the earth. It has beauty on the first level, it has beauty when you look closer, it has infinite clarity and design when you dissect it, and it has purpose from every angle when you wonder a little, why plants, or stars work the way they do.

Jer 51:16 When He uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: He maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasures.

God’s word is very similar to His creation, His wisdom is not hidden from us, but expressed in CREATION. Those beautiful flowers, the water cycle, the ecosystem, the heavens… HE makes lightning with RAIN! Think about the exchange of energy, organized in the very molecules of the air, and the heavy molecules of the water. This is an extremely delicate balance of energy, pressure, and temperature, one mistake and you’ve got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, but instead God makes LIGHTNING! Reading God’s word with understanding is like watching a lightning storm, a miracle of REAL power and love.

Jer 51:17 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

Now compare this with some man’s theory, some man’s religious tradition, they own path to heaven, their own theologies, their own “righteousness”, their own “words of wisdom”. God is saying that is empty and lifeless and without comparison. Essentially it’s dead. They can’t “found” a new religion and have anything of value. Brutish is the only reason they would do this, it means something that consumes itself, and man’s wisdom is similar to this, he eats it all up and it’s gone.

Jer 51:18 They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

You know, they think their “work” that they spend so much time on is meaningful, but when it is not based on God’s Word, then it’s just a pile of errors. They’ve taken one brick from their own beliefs and stacked error on top of error, and they won’t reap anything from their life’s work.

Jer 51:19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for He is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of His inheritance: the LORD of hosts is His name.

Jacob is God’s portion, that is all the natural seed of the tribes of Israel. God will use His elect as a rod to correct His people, and help bring them out of confusion.

Jer 51:20 Thou art My battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

God’s hand is one of the most powerful thing in the world, when He uses His people , God can move mountains with His elect! Mountains symbolizing nations, meaning God has control over all the nations.

Jer 51:21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;

God is going to use His elect of Israel, but also He is going to use the kings and queens of the ethnos, as He used Cyrus, an ethnos to complete the historical part of this prophecy.

Jer 51:22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;

God is going to use us, His elect to break apart CONFUSION. Old traditions, young traditions of man, and/or religions of men. Piece by piece, the blocks of confusion will be taken down and out of the minds of God’s people.
Jer 51:23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

The shepherd and his flock here, is the false shepherd or satan. He has caused confusion in many churches by implanting false doctrine and traditions of men. Even those who are considered the leaders and power-brokers, God is going to give His elect power over everything.

Jer 51:24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.

They will finally get what is coming to them for ignoring the Bible, and trusting in some man. Those who have a destiny, will perform it. Have you seen injustice? Have you seen false teachings & people spreading CONFUSION rather than teaching God’s true word? Don’t worry, God SEES what they are saying, and He SEES what they do in their secret places. Confusion will get exactly what it deserves, that is God’s promise to us. Thank you Father for your promises! As Isa 43:26 says ” Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. ” That thou mayest be justified. Thank you Father!

Jer 51:25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.

This mountain will become an empty burned out volcano, whe the LORD puts satan down.

Jer 51:26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.

The Chief cornerstone is Christ, and satan wants that spot, so he gives his kingdom of confusion a false cornerstone for a foundation of their confusion. Anything based on man’s words, or man’s opinion is empty and void.

Jer 51:27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.

The caterpillers is the same as the locust army prophesied in Joel. This chapter has another meaning, a DEEPER meaning if you will, when the names of the kingdoms are translated into English for our understanding. Ararat means the highest place, Minni means the division (or division of the people!), Ashchenaz means “spreading fire”!

“….against her the kingdoms of the holy high ground, the division of the people, and spreading fire; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.”

There is so much more to this verse that a whole study could be made from it and the verses of the book of Joel and Revelation that it references.

Jer 51:28 Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.

God is preparing an army. His army will take down the King of Babylon under HIS direct orders.

Jer 51:29 And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.

This should nail it down to you that this has not come to pass yet, as long as there are PEOPLE in the LAND it is NOT yet fulfilled! The same as all these prophecies of Jeremiah, concerning Babylon. Especially, those of Jeremiah 24 which speaks of the arrival of the King of Babylon. God gave us these Scriptures to WARN us, and so that He might make EVERY PURPOSE of His not only KNOWN, but He WILL complete them! NONE will stop Him! Babylon is going to be PLUCKED UP and destroyed, according to THIS WORD, and man’s word means nothing.

Jer 51:30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.

God will be successful in breaking down CONFUSION and OPINIONS of man.

Jer 51:31 One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,


They will be shocked. Everything appeared to be safe and sound and true! Not one stone will be left standing, as Christ said.

Jer 51:32 And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

It will happen like this at the LAST trump, and it hasn’t happened yet. This great prophecy of Jeremiah concerns the King of Babylon, and when he is here defacto. Want to know what will happen? It is written right here in the book of Jeremiah! Praise God for it! Thank you Father!
