This part of Jeremiah’s prophecy is concerned with God’s judgment upon Babylon.
God sets Himself against those who set themselves against Him. We live
in times when “evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse,
deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13).
In such times, we must build upon “the Holy (God-breathed) Scriptures
which are able to make us wise for salvation through faith in Christ
Jesus” and which will “thoroughly equip us for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:15-17). This Word of the Lord is “eternal”, and God’s “faithfulness continues through all generations” (Psalm 119:89-90).
To say that God’s Word is eternal does not mean that it is distant and
remote from time. Rather, it is to emphasize that it is relevant. It
is relevant to every generation. It is eternally relevant.
The power of God was upon Elisha. God was at work in mighty power. When we red about Elisha, we say, in our hearts, ‘This is not about Elisha. This is about God - - God working through Elisha.’ We must always remember to give all the glory to the Lord. The praise does not belong to the servant. It belongs to the Lord. He alone is worthy of praise.
