JEREMIAH 43

GOD WILL USE BABYLON TO DEFEAT EGYPT 

Despite the warning from Jeremiah, Johanan and the remaining exiles disobey God and flee to Egypt, taking Jeremiah and Baruch with them.

While in Egypt, God tells Jeremiah that Egypt will be struck down and those who look to Egypt for protection will be doomed. In the same way God used Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar to invade Judah, God will bring Babylon against Egypt. Using large stones, God shows Jeremiah the exact site where Nebuchadnezzar’s throne will be placed in Egypt!
