Jeremiah 46 & 47 - Fall of Egypt & Philistia

by Katrina

LINK: Jeremiah 46 & Jeremiah 47

BACKGROUND
Chapter 46 tells of the fall of Egypt, a major power in the world at that time. God would bring judgment to Egypt. Note the final two verses. God had not forgotten His people. He promised to bring them back to their land and not completely destroy them. But He still gave the reminder that He would not ignore their sin but would surely punish it.

Chapter 47 tells of the fall of Philistia. The Philistines had been enemies of God's people for a very long time (you may remember that Goliath was a Philistine). God's judgment was soon to come upon them.
