Jeremiah 46 is the first in a series of prophecies about foreign nations, starting with Egypt and its defeat by Babylon. Initially the text focuses on the defeat of Pharoah Neco king of Egypt at Carchemish by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and Jeremiah mocks the Egyptian soldiers defining the battle as a day of vengeance from the Lord. Jeremiah then predicts that Babylon would not stop at Carchemish but would invade Egypt and "The Daughter of Egypt will be put to shame, handed over to the people of the north". Egypt is compared to a hissing snake fleeing its enemies' advances. Then the chapter ends with a message of comfort and encouragement for Israel with God saying: "I will surely save you out of a distant place... Jacob will again have peace and security... do not fear, O Jacob, for I am with you".

Men's Fellowship
We had a lovely Patos Men's Fellowship meeting last night led by chief of the chiefs of Police Esaú. It was warm and blessed fellowship.
I will be preaching on Sunday on a 'Psalm of Thanks' from 1 Chronicles 16. For those of you who join us for our service via YouTube please note that it will be at 10 am (2 pm UK time) and not the usual 6:30 pm (10:30 pm UK time). I will leave you to guess why the switch of times! 😉
Last month this blog was read 76,172 times. May God bless you all.
