만군의 여호와라 일컫는 왕이 이같이 말씀하시되 내가 그 방백들과 박사들과 감독들과 관장들과 용사들로 취하게 하리니 그들이 영영히 자고 깨지 못하리라
The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #117
117. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 51
Of those who by traditions or reasonings from the natural man have perverted the truths and goods of the church, who are here meant by Babylon. (3)
1-4 All truths of doctrine with them will be destroyed. (3)
5 The Jewish church is such, and is against the Lord. (3)
6 Let them beware of such. (3)
7-10 Those who are there are vastated by such things, and they do not refrain. (3)
11-13 They pervert truths and goods, which they have in abundance. (2, 3)
14-18 They have the Word so that they can be wise, but they falsify it. (2)
19-23 When the judgment overtakes them from the Lord, all things appertaining to them, from firsts to lasts, are to be scattered. (15)
24-26 Their destruction will come, because they have destroyed everything of the church. (15)
27-29 They will seize upon falsities of every kind. (3)
30-32 Hence they will no longer have any power. (2)
33 Her last time is coming. (15, 17)
34-40 They will perish because they have destroyed the church. (15, 2)
41-44 They will be destroyed by mere falsities. (15)
45-50 Let them not come near those who are of the church, lest they perish together with them. (15)
51-53 They cannot resist, however much they trust in themselves. (15, 3)
54-58 Those who trust in their own falsities will come to nothing and will be destroyed. (15)
59-61 This is told to those who in the church have been taken captive by such, and who have become Babylon. 15 (15)
Jeremiah 51:54-58
54
The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55
For Yahweh lays Babylon waste, and destroys out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered:
56
for the destroyer is come on her, even on Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for Yahweh is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite.
57
I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake up, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies.
58
Thus says Yahweh of Armies: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary.
