God against the Philistines
No matter how long the enemies of God have tormented the people of God, God will hold them accountable.
- The neighboring Philistines had tormented Israel for generations. Do you remember David and Goliath the Philistine?
- Jeremiah had earlier delivered a word from God about the doom of the Philistines (Jeremiah 25:20).
- Philistia’s enemy would be Egypt (v 1).
- The attack would come from the north (v 2).
- The enemy would have many horses and chariots (v 3).
- This forthcoming trouble would last as long as God orders it (v 6-7).
