Jer 25:8-9 | MHM | STEP | Desolation Predicted This section explains the consequences for Judah because they refused to listen to God’s warnings. God had sent many prophets, but the people ignored them. Now, since they would not listen to God’s words, they will have to face His actions. When people will not turn from their sin, judgment will come. God’s patience has limits, and if people do not repent, they will face the results of their choices. v. 8–9 : God says, Because you have not heard my words, I will send for all the families of the north…and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant (Jeremiah 25:8–9 ). God calls Nebuchadnezzar His servant, even though he does not know God, because God will use him to punish Judah and the surrounding nations. The Babylonians will destroy the land, making it a place of ruins and shame. God is in control of all rulers and armies, and He can use even those who do not believe in Him to carry out His plans.
