Jeremiah Chapter 51 verses 54-56

"A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: because the Lord hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered: Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the Lord God of Recompenses shall surely requite". How often do you hear a sermon referring to our God as "The Lord God of Recompenses"? Yet he most certainly is that. It will bless us all to know him in this way. He does recompense everyone, both the just and the unjust. In Luke 14:14, Jesus speaks of recompensing us for the good we do, especially when we love and serve those who cannot recompense us themselves. In 2 Thessalonians, Paul states it a "righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you". Paul knew him as "the Lord God of Recompenses".
I love verse 55 - The Lord hath destroyed out of her "The Great Voice". Truly, like as when Paul was surrounded by the angry mob (Acts 19:34), no matter how long or how loud they cry out against the Holy One of Israel, their voice will be silenced and the only voices that will continue to be heard in the New Jerusalem, in eternity, are those who are now praising and worshipping the Holy God of Israel. When WE shout WE devastate the enemy's camp. When WE shout, the walls of Jericho and Babylon fall. When THEY shout, when THEY curse, when THEY speak, THEIR voice will be silenced forever, except when we hear the cries of Their torment rising before the throne of God. Their voice will have no effect whatsoever on the New Jerusalem. IN the end, the only "Great Voice" to be heard will be out of Heaven (Rev:21:3). Forever we will hear "the voice of joy, the voice of gladness, the voice of the Bridegroom and the voice of the Bride, the voice of them that shall say -PRAISE THE LORD OF HOSTS FOR THE LORD IS GOOD FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER" (Jer:33:11). So forever the saints will rejoice in him while forever the "aints" will mourn him. The great voice of rebellion against him, full of lies and unbelief, the voice we hear each time we turn on the TV or watch a movie or read a newspaper will be silenced forever. All the weapons of the enemy will be broken along with his "mighty men", anyone working witchcraft and sorcery in the earth today. The mightiest witch on earth today is no match for the least in the Kingdom of God. As the saints come out of Babylon, they will awaken to their awesome authority and power bequeathed to them by their Father through Christ for Christ came to demonstrate that a man, one made of flesh, could walk in perfect obedience to the Father, the One who is Spirit and Flesh and could completely be controlled by the Spirit with all the power and authority he posseses. All over the world, workers of darkness will know they have chosen the wrong side in the coming final battle for the souls of mankind.
