Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Peter Ill, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Millstadt, IL, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Jeremiah 47:1-48:10. Jeremiah’s second and third oracles to foreign nations address Israel’s neighbors to their west and east. The Philistines lived along the seacoast and had long been enemies of the LORD’s people. The Moabites lived east of the Dead Sea and also had found themselves in numerous conflicts with Israel throughout the Old Testament. The LORD addresses them both to let them know that the judgment they face comes from Him. The Philistines experience the LORD’s judgment both at the hands of Egypt from the south and at the hands of Babylon from the north. Moab receives disaster for its great pride and idol worship of Chemosh. Recognizing that the LORD is the God over all history and all nations, Christians repent of their sins in the face of disaster and take comfort in the truth that God has not forgotten His people. “A Time to Destroy and a Time to Build” is a mini-series on Sharper Ir
