Jer 47-48; Ps 119:169-176; Rev 20

Have you noticed anything unusual about the book of Jeremiah?  Well, I find it’s a bit hard to follow – and that’s because it’s not written chronologically.  If we look at it from a chronological perspective, the order of the books would be as follows.  
Jeremiah 46-49
Jeremiah 1-20
Jeremiah 46-49
Jeremiah 21-45
Jeremiah 52
Jeremiah  50 & 51.
Jeremiah 47: When will Babylon rest?

Today’s readings:

Jeremiah 48: What caused Moab to fall?

Revelation 20: Who will reign with Christ during the 1,000 years.

Answers:

Jeremiah 47: Babylon will not stop until God stops them.

Jeremiah 48: Moab’s exceeding pride and arrogance toward the Lord was their downfall.

Revelation 20: The people who have been martyred because of their faith and who did not bear the mark of the beast will reign with Christ during the 1,000 year period.
