1Ⅰ The book of Jeremiah presents a picture of God’s coming in to punish and judge the nations, which typify aspects of the world—46:2; 47:1; 48:1; 49:1, 7, 23, 28, 34; 50:1:
2一 在说到列国时,耶利米首先提到埃及(四六2~28),最后提到巴比伦(五十~五一):
2A In speaking concerning the nations, Jeremiah mentions Egypt first (46:2-28) and Babylon last (chs. 50—51):
31 这指明在神看来,世界首先是属埃及,然后是属巴比伦。
31 This indicates that, in God’s view, the world is first Egyptian and then Babylonian.
42 照着耶利米书里的图画,最后受审判的国是巴比伦;当神审判巴比伦时,祂对列国的审判就完成了。
42 According to the picture in the book of Jeremiah, the last nation to be judged is Babylon; when God judges Babylon, His judgment of the nations will be complete.
5B For the accomplishment of God’s economy, the church, God’s New Testament elect, must be separated from the world in all its aspects—John 17:14, 16; Rom. 12:2; 1 John 2:15-17.
