Jeremias 50:3 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:3

For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her
The Medes and Persians, which under Cyrus were one nation; and which not only lay north of Judea, where this prophecy came, but of Babylon, against which they were to come; and might lay more north to it, before the enlargement of their dominions; and besides, Cyrus came through Assyria to Babylon, which lay north of it; see ( Isaiah 41:25 ) . Thus, as Rome Pagan was sacked and taken by the Goths and Vandals, that came out of the north; so Rome Papal, and the antichristian states, will be destroyed by the Christian princes of the north, or those who have embraced what the Papists call the northern heresy; tidings out of the north shall trouble antichrist, ( Daniel 11:44 ) ; which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein;
that is, in process of time; for this desolation was not made at once; it was begun by Cyrus, made greater by Darius, and completed by Seleucus Nicator; they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast;
or, "from man to beast" F4; such as were not slain should either flee away or be carried captive; so that in time none should remain, either of man or beast; see ( Isaiah 13:19-22 ) ; and for the accomplishment of it on mystical Babylon see ( Revelation 18:2 Revelation 18:21-23 ) .

Jeremias 50:3 In-Context

1 A palavra que falou o Senhor acerca de Babilônia, acerca da terra dos caldeus, por intermédio de Jeremias o profeta.
2 Anunciai entre as nações e publicai, arvorando um estandarte; sim publicai, não encubrais; dizei: Tomada está Babilônia, confundido está Bel, caído está Merodaque, confundidos estão os seus ídolos, e caídos estão os seus deuses.
3 Pois do Norte sobe contra ela uma nação que fará da sua terra uma desolação, e não haverá quem nela habite; tanto os homens como os animais já fugiram e se foram.
4 Naqueles dias, e naquele tempo, diz o Senhor, os filhos de Israel virão, eles e os filhos de Judá juntamente; andando e chorando virão, e buscarão ao Senhor seu Deus.
5 Acerca de Sião indagarão, tendo os seus rostos voltados para lá e dizendo: Vinde e uni-vos ao Senhor num pacto eterno que nunca será esquecido.
