Please read Jeremiah 49.

Meditate on this phrase from verse 16.
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you.
Jeremiah 49 contains more messages from the LORD for the
nations surrounding Israel. Ammon and Edom are present-day Jordan (vs. 1-22).
Damascus is still Damascus today (vs. 23-27). Kedar and Hazor are present-day
Saudi Arabia (vs. 28-33). And Elam is in present-day Iraq and Iran where their
borders touch on the northern end of the Persian/Arabian Gulf.
It is fascinating to understand God’s Word in light of
current events. Notice what the LORD says in this chapter:
“Behold, I am going to bring
terror upon you.”
—Jeremiah 49:5
“I will bring the disaster
of Esau upon him at the time I punish
him.”
—Jeremiah 49:8
“I will set fire to the wall
of Damascus.”
—Jeremiah 49:27
“So I will shatter Elam
before their enemies and before those who seek their lives;
and I will bring calamity
upon them, even My fierce anger,
and I will send out the sword after them until I have consumed them.”
—Jeremiah 49:37
Appraise and filter what you read and hear in the news
through the Word of God. Remember that He is in charge, and ALL of His
plans have and will come to pass.
Trust in the LORD, and pray Jeremiah 49:16 over yourself and
those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah
62:6-7).
“LORD, do not let the arrogance of _______ and my hearts deceive us.
Bring us down from our high places.
In Your name, Jesus~”
