Jeremiah 52 – The Fall of Jerusalem and the Faithfulness of God
Jeremiah 52 records the final collapse of Jerusalem under Babylonian rule — a heartbreaking end that fulfills all the prophecies Jeremiah had spoken for decades. Yet even amid destruction, this chapter testifies to the faithfulness of God. His word was fulfilled to the letter, and His mercy continued through the preservation of His people in exile. Overview of Jeremiah 52: The Final Chapter of Judgment Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he…
The Spirit of Babylon Unmasking the End-Time Deception, Part 2
The spirit of Babylon did not vanish with the ruins of an ancient empire. It continues to move through the world today — influencing culture, religion, and even the way people think about truth. In The Spirit of Babylon, Part 2, we explore how this same rebellious spirit resurfaces in modern times, calling people away from God’s Word and toward deception. Through Scripture, we uncover how to recognize its presence and remain steadfast in the truth of Christ. Confusion and…
The Spirit of Babylon and the Last Days Jer. 51, Part 1
Jeremiah’s warning to ancient Babylon echoes across time. The same spirit of pride and rebellion that brought down empires now infiltrates hearts and nations in the last days. God still calls His people to discern, repent, and cling to Him amid a collapsing world system. I want to go back to Jeremiah 51 and I want to look at some things about Babylon. And then I also want us to go through Revelation chapter 17 and 18 and look at…
Jeremiah 51, Babylon’s Final Judgment: The Fall of a Proud Empire
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; 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. 3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and…
Daniel 6 Faith Under Pressure: Daniel in the Lions’ Den
Daniel stood firm when compromise was easy. This study of Daniel 6 uncovers the real history behind the lions’ den and what it teaches about trusting God when faith is tested. Daniel 6 is one of the most well-known chapters in the Bible—yet few realize the historical and political backdrop that shaped this dramatic moment in Daniel’s life. This sermon unpacks the details behind King Darius’ decree, the jealousy of the officials, and Daniel’s unwavering faith. As we explore the…
Jeremiah 50:11-29, Be Watchman on the Wall
This evening, if you have your Bibles turn with me to Jeremiah chapter 50, we’ll want to continue to where we left off last week. Last, on Sunday, we left off at verse number 10. Jeremiah is bringing a prophecy against Babylon. Babylon is a nation that had been used by God to chastise Judah for their lack of obedience to the Lord and their lack of willingness to walk with Him and their willingness to seek to follow other…
Daniel 5, Willing to Speak the Truth
In Daniel chapter 5, the prophet Daniel stood before King Belshazzar during a night of pride, idolatry, and judgment. When the mysterious handwriting appeared on the wall, none of the wise men of Babylon could explain its meaning. But Daniel, filled with courage and faith, was willing to speak the truth—even when it exposed the king’s sin and announced God’s coming judgment. This powerful chapter reminds us that true faith is not silent in the face of corruption. Like Daniel,…
Jeremiah 50:1-10, God’s Judgment on Babylon and Hope for Israel
Jeremiah 50:1–10 opens with a bold prophecy against Babylon, the empire that once seemed unstoppable. God declares that her idols will be exposed, her strongholds shaken, and her pride humbled. At the same time, these verses shine with hope—Israel and Judah will seek the Lord again, and God promises deliverance for His people. This passage reminds us that no nation, however powerful, can stand against God’s judgment. For believers today, Jeremiah 50:1–10 is both a warning against trusting in worldly…
Jeremiah 49:23-39, The Lord Brings Down the Mighty
If you have your Bibles and turn with me to Jeremiah chapter 49. Jeremiah is giving prophecies dealing with nations that have been enemies of Israel. And the amazing thing is you look at the map up here, this is a modern map of the Middle East. The nations that we’re going to be looking at this evening, I don’t know if we’ll get through them all, but first we’re going to look at Damascus, which is Syria. Then…
Jeremiah 49:7-22, Judgment on Edom’s Pride
Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished? 8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him. 9 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough. 10 But I have…
Daniel 4, The Most High Governs All
We want to continue our study through Daniel, if you have your Bibles then turn with me to Daniel chapter 4. The events that have transpired over the last couple of weeks have left a lot of people in our nation, number one, shocked that it would happen, but secondly, there seems to be a tremendous move, especially among many young people, to have listened to the message that Charlie Kirk brought, and we need to pray that true revival…
Jeremiah 48, Pride – The sin that always goes before the fall.
Jeremiah had brought prophecies against the southern kingdom of Judah for their rebellion against God. And if you remember, the Lord had told Jeremiah when he called him, I’m going to place words upon your lips to share, but people won’t listen. And what a calling to tell the Lord to tell you that. And that’s exactly what the nation of Judah did. They didn’t listen. But God wanted them to know he’s not done with them yet. And he…
