1) Jeremiah 50:1-5
Against whom have most of the prophecies in Jeremiah been given? Against whom was this prophecy given? How do you think the Israelites (remnant/exiles) would feel about this? Where would Babylon’s judgment come from? Does this passage say why? What would change for the Israelites at this time?
2) Jeremiah 50:6-10
How did God compare the people of Israel to lost sheep? In what ways? Who was to blame? Why did the adversaries of Israel say they weren’t guilty? How is the Lord the “habitation of righteousness?” (NAS verse 7) How is the Lord their “true pasture?” (NIV verse 7) During the exile, God told them to settle and make a life (Jer 29:4-7). What were the instructions once Babylon’s judgment started?
3) Jeremiah 50:11-13; 17-21; 24-25; 29-32
God sent Babylon to bring judgment on Judah for their idolatry. What do these verses say about the reason for the judgment on Babylon? Where did they go wrong in fulfilling God’s purpose for them? What do these verses say about Israel’s restoration? What do these verses teach us about God?
4) Daniel 5:1-4; 25-28; 30-31
Skim the entire chapter of Daniel 5. This is the story of Babylon’s judgment? What were they doing the day it came? How was God glorified through this judgment? Who was the new leader over the exiled Israelites?
