Jeremiah 50:27 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:27

Slay all her bullocks
Or, "all her mighty ones", as the Targum and Vulgate Latin version; her princes and great men, as Jarchi, Kimchi, and Abarbinel; compared to bullocks for their strength, fatness, and fierceness; see ( Psalms 22:12 Psalms 22:13 ) ; this may well be applied to the slaughter of kings, captains, and mighty men, at the battle of Armageddon, ( Revelation 19:18 ) ; let them go down to the slaughter;
to the place slaughter, as oxen do, insensible, and whether they will or not: woe unto them, for their day is come, the time of their visitation;
the time of their destruction, of visiting or punishing them for their sins, appointed by the Lord, which they could not pass; and so a woeful and dreadful time to them.

Jeremiah 50:27 In-Context

25 "I, God, opened my arsenal. I brought out my weapons of wrath. The Master, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, has a job to do in Babylon.
26 Come at her from all sides! Break into her granaries! Shovel her into piles and burn her up. Leave nothing! Leave no one!
27 Kill all her young turks. Send them to their doom! Doom to them! Yes, Doomsday! The clock has finally run out on them.
28 And here's a surprise: Runaways and escapees from Babylon Show up in Zion reporting the news of God's vengeance, taking vengeance for my own Temple.
29 "Call in the troops against Babylon, anyone who can shoot straight! Tighten the noose! Leave no loopholes! Give her back as good as she gave, a dose of her own medicine! Her brazen insolence is an outrage against God, The Holy of Israel.
