I’m having a hard time trying to figure out what you mean here. Care to expand?
The word of God is good for our instruction. As in proverbs, fools reject it. A seeker of Christ sees and acknowledges the wisdom of the verse.
If you look at the reference given, it seems to be the prophecy out of Jeremiah 50:32.
In the passage verses 21-32, the literal prophecy is against the empire of Babylon, that conquered and enslaved the Jews of Judea and deported most of them to Babylon (now Iraq), breaking down Solomon's Temple. Jeremiah predicts that the Medes and Persians (now Iran)will in turn overcome and enslave the Babylonian Empire (which later did happen in Daniel's time).
Does this passage have a figurative-literal application to America in our time?
That would be more than a bit of a stretch (the Iran/Iraq conflict might not be), but maybe EN has an explanation of how it might apply to riots in our cities today.
(Me just horning in uninvited -- either of you can tell me to butt out and I won't be offended)
Oh, that whole not coveting, not stealing, respecting your elders, and being married thing - that stuff is “hate speech” in the leftists’ handbook,
but would be the solution to the problems we’re seeing in these cities.
