Jeremías 50:1 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:1

The word that the Lord spake against Babylon
Or "to", of "of Babylon" ^F3; the city of Babylon, the metropolis of the Chaldean empire; sometimes it signifies the whole country, here the city only, as appears by what follows: [and] against the land of the Chaldeans;
whither the Jews were carried captive, for whose comfort this prophecy is delivered out; and which had subdued other nations, and was become an universal monarchy; these people are mentioned last, because the rest of the nations were to drink the cup of God's wrath at their hands, and then they were to drink it after them; see ( Jeremiah 25:9 Jeremiah 25:26 ) ; this is to be understood not only of Babylon and its empire, literally taken, but of mystical Babylon and its dependencies; of Rome, and its jurisdiction; of antichrist, and the antichristian states, the last enemies of the church and people of God, who will be destroyed by the pouring out of the seven vials; see ( Revelation 15:1 ) ( 16:19 ) . This prophecy, which is called "the word that the Lord spake", for it was from him, the thing was decreed and declared by him, came by Jeremiah the prophet,
to whom the king of Babylon had been very kind; but yet he must be, and was, faithful as a prophet, to deliver what he had from the Lord concerning the ruin of his empire.

Jeremías 50:1 In-Context

1 La palabra del SEÑOR acerca de los babilonios y de su país vino al profeta Jeremías:

2 «¡Anuncien y proclamen entre las naciones!¡Proclámenlo, levanten un estandarte!No oculten nada, sino digan:“¡Babilonia será conquistada!¡Bel quedará en vergüenza!¡Marduc quedará aterrado!¡Sus imágenes quedan humilladas,y aterrados sus ídolos!”

3 Porque la ataca una nación del norte,que dejará desolada a su tierra.Hombres y animales saldrán huyendo,y no habrá nadie que la habite.

4 »En aquellos días, en aquel tiempo,la gente de Israel y de Judáirá llorando en busca del SEÑOR, su Dios—afirma el SEÑOR—.

5 Preguntarán por el camino de Sión,y hacia allá se encaminarán.Vendrán y se aferrarán al SEÑORen un pacto eterno, que ya no olvidarán.
