Jeremiah 47
The Book of Jeremiah
Jeremiah 47:1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the
Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an
overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the
city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the
inhabitants of the land shall howl.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing
of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look
back to their children for feebleness of hands;
4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off
from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the Lord will spoil the
Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their
valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up
thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a charge against Ashkelon,
and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
