Jeremiah 51
1. The severe judgment of God against Babylon, in revenge of Israel
59. Jeremiah delivers the book of this prophecy to Seraiah, to be cast into Euphrates,
64. in token of the perpetual sinking of Babylon














The LORD has brought forth our vindication;
This phrase highlights God's role as the ultimate judge and deliverer. In the context of Jeremiah 51, it refers to the impending judgment on Babylon, which had oppressed Israel. The term "vindication" implies a legal decision in favor of the oppressed, suggesting that God has acted to right the wrongs done to His people. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God as a just ruler who defends His people, as seen in passages like Isaiah 54:17, where God promises that no weapon formed against His people will prosper. Historically, this vindication was fulfilled when Babylon fell to the Medes and Persians in 539 BC, demonstrating God's sovereignty over nations.

come, let us tell in Zion
Zion, often synonymous with Jerusalem, is the spiritual and political center of Israel. The call to "tell in Zion" emphasizes the importance of proclaiming God's deeds among His people. This reflects the communal aspect of worship and testimony in ancient Israel, where significant events were shared and celebrated collectively. The invitation to "come" suggests a gathering of the faithful to witness and declare God's faithfulness. This is reminiscent of Psalm 48:12-13, where the people are encouraged to walk about Zion and tell of its greatness, symbolizing God's enduring presence and protection.

what the LORD our God has accomplished.
This phrase underscores the recognition of God's active role in history. The accomplishments of the LORD refer to His acts of deliverance and judgment, reinforcing His identity as the covenant-keeping God of Israel. This acknowledgment is a call to remember and celebrate God's past faithfulness, which serves as a foundation for trust in His future promises. Theologically, it points to the ultimate accomplishment of God in the person of Jesus Christ, who fulfills the law and the prophets (Matthew 5:17) and brings about the ultimate vindication and redemption for humanity. The historical deliverance from Babylon prefigures the spiritual deliverance from sin through Christ.

Teaching Points
God's Vindication
God is faithful to vindicate His people, demonstrating His justice and righteousness. Believers can trust in God's timing and His ultimate plan for justice.

Proclaiming God's Works
Just as the Israelites were called to declare God's accomplishments, Christians are encouraged to share testimonies of God's faithfulness and deliverance in their lives.

Hope in Exile
Even in times of suffering or "exile," believers can hold onto the hope of God's promised restoration and vindication.

The Role of Prophets
Prophets like Jeremiah play a crucial role in communicating God's messages. Believers should be attentive to God's word and His messengers today.

Community and Worship
The call to tell in Zion emphasizes the importance of community and collective worship in celebrating and acknowledging God's deeds.(10) The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness . . .--The Hebrew noun is plural--the many righteous acts or forms of righteousness. The thought is parallel to that of Isaiah 62:1. The exile in Babylon had been a time of reformation and growth in righteousness. The day of vengeance on the oppressing city was also a day of acquittal for Israel. It was seen that she had not forfeited the favour of Jehovah. She could still sing, as of old (Judges 5:11), the righteous acts of the Lord, and would sing them, as of old, in the restored sanctuary of Zion.

Verse 10. - Our righteousness; literally, our righteousnesses; not in the sense of "righteous deeds "(as in Isaiah 64:6; Judges 5:11), but "those things which prove us to righteous; i.e. by punishing Babylon he hath justified us" (Payne Smith).
