EXALT OUR GOD

Bible Reading: JEREMIAH 27:1-11

“And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him”

The dream King Nebuchadnezzar had which was interpreted by Prophet Daniel, showed the world’s dominant kingdoms from Babylon to the Roman empires. That everything came to pass literally shows that Jehovah is indeed a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets” (Daniel 2:47)

He also spoke of another kingdom which “…the God of heaven [shall] set up…” which shall “break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever” (Daniel 2:44). That kingdom is the kingdom of Christ, the everlasting Kingdom, which all believers belong today.

The passage under review is an instruction to Jeremiah to make yokes and send to the kings of surrounding nations – Edom, Moab, Ammon, and so on, instructing them to bring their necks under the rulership of Nebuchadnezzar whom God called “my servant”, who was to rule all nations and his son and grandson. He declared that He made the earth and all things in it and gives it to whoever He wills (verse 5). Anyone who failed to submit to this king will be punished by God.

Jehovah is God, the only true God who declares the end from the beginning. He is the God that was, the God that is and the God that shall be, who inhabits all eternity (Isaiah 46:10; Revelation 1:8).

What a great privilege to be a child of this great God. What a great privilege to have His Book, the Bible, through which He has revealed His attributes of love, holiness, mercy, omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence and faithfulness to man.

It is perfectly safe to go with Him anywhere and everywhere, knowing that there is nothing He says or does that is an afterthought. He knows what will become of everyone who fears Him. We must adore Him.

Exalt our God who rules in the affairs of men.
