Scott Allen leads a study from Jeremiah 50:8-20, 33-34. Although Israel and Judah's punishment were now completed and Babylon ruled as the preeminent world power, someday the tables would turn. Babylon would not endure. God was ready to punish the Babylonians for abusing their power and cruelly mistreating the conquered Jews. Babylon would suffer a desolation not seen since the fall of Sodom. Meanwhile the exiled Jews had a future hope of complete restoration and redemption.
