Due to Israel’s disobedience, God prophesied through Jeremiah that the people would be carried captive into Babylon. What God said, came to pass exactly as was prophesied.
In 607 B.C, the Babylonian armies came and destroyed Jerusalem and took the Israelites captive. For 70 years the Jews were in captivity in Babylon. At this time, Daniel Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were also carried from Judah into Babylon.
During these years of captivity, Daniel began to pray to God asking for forgiveness for his people.([Daniel chapter 9). In answer God brought fulfillment to His Word to bring restoration to Israel. Not only were they restored God also brought destruction to their captors in a wondrous manner.
The destruction of Babylon could not have been humanly foreseen. Babylon at that time, was the crown jewel of the Assyrian empire, the epitome of religion and culture in the ancient middle east, seemingly indestructible. But as prophesied, the great city of Babylon fell suddenly in one night [Jeremiah 51: 8]. According to historical records, in 539 B.C, Cyrus attacked and destroyed Babylon and restored the Jews back to their homeland, 70 years after their captivity, just as God had foretold through Jeremiah.
Though Israel was being punished for their disobedience, when they repented and turned back to God, He sent deliverance to them.
God is full of love and mercy and though we may sometimes stray, He is ever ready to receive us back.
When we understand the love of God instead of running away from Him when we sin, we should rather run to Him for mercy. He is ever ready to forgive and to restore us back, as long as we acknowledge our sins.
For some of us today, God is waiting for us to turn back from rebelling against His Word, so that He can judge the things afflicting us and hindering us from accessing our next level of destiny.
2 Corinthians 10:6 says ‘God is in readiness to revenge all disobedience when our obedience is fulfilled’
Isaiah 51:9 says ‘Behold The Lord’s hand is not shortened that He cannot save neither His ear heavy that it cannot hear but your iniquities have separated between you and your God..’
Sin is a separator between man and God. Disobedience creates a discord in our relationship with God. Amos 3:3 asks ” Can two walk together except they be agreed?”
It takes walking in agreement with God for us to enjoy good things from Him.
Job 22:21 says “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
Sin and disobedience hinders us from walking in blessings. Today, by the Help of the Holy Spirit let us ask for grace to live a life totally pleasing to God. As we do, He will arise and avenge every enemy of our lives and establish His great plans for us. As we become willing and obedient, surely we shall eat the good of the land, spend our days in prosperity and continually break forth on every side.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to get rid of anything displeasing to You in my life which could be hindering my long awaited breakthroughs and breaking forth on every side, in Jesus Name. .
