I have. Jeremiah is, for the most part, about ancient Babylon. E.g.,
For thus says the Lord: 'Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon and slay them with the sword. (Jer. 20:4)Note words like “swords” and “kings” and think 586 BC. Nothing about modern Iraq.
Not according to the words of Christ. He being the Word from the beginning has foretold us all things, and those prophets recorded the happenings that would be played out again. As a matter of fact even what is going on these days has been foretold.
Christ is recorded to 'out of His mouth went a sharp twoedged sword:
'Spiritually' speaking who is the king of Babylon.... remember the word Babylon means 'confusion'. Who is to play the role of the king of Babylon where in the people are sent once again unto 'his' captivity if they do not know who he spiritually is? Daniel under the king of Babylon recorded what God told him Daniel 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, 'O MY Lord, what shall be the end of these things?'
9 And he said, 'Go thy way Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice (Christ) shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty day.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.'"
Now the end has not yet come and these words are to those who wait unto the end wherein that type of king of Babylon sets up his desolation.
Now Christ even quotes Daniel in Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20 And except that the LORD had shortened those day, no flesh should be 'saved': but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.
So those days Daniel gave have been shortened.

I am sorry for the multiple posts my antique computer apparently has a mind of its own.
