A Destroying Wind

"Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will rise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;"  Jeremiah 51:1.  Babylon, a evil nation, had been the sword in the Lord's hand to avenge evil.  As a result, Babylon had become proud and vain.  Now, the judgment of Babylon is coming.  The Lord will rise up against this mighty, yet wicked, nation.  The hand of the Lord's wrath, though often delayed, is now coming.  The warning is sounded.  Judgment is nigh at hand.  God will come against not only Babylon, but all who are opposed to God.  And the consumption will also include those that dwell in the midst of the evil ones.  Good must not mix with bad.  They must remove themselves from the vile influences around them.  God will come as a destroying wind.  The landscape will be covered, and none will be left standing.  One cannot oppose God and continue to enjoy prosperity forever.  The day of destruction eventually comes.  God fights against evil, and His sword of wrath always brings down the enemy.  The destroying wind will blow until the wickedness is gone, and the land is purged.
