Jeremiah 47
1.The destruction of the Philistines














Alas, O sword of the LORD
This phrase personifies the sword as an instrument of divine judgment. In biblical context, the "sword of the LORD" often symbolizes God's judgment and wrath against nations or peoples who have turned away from Him. The sword is a recurring symbol in prophetic literature, representing God's power to execute justice (Isaiah 34:5-6,Ezekiel 21:3-5). Historically, the sword was a common weapon of war, and its mention here underscores the severity of the impending judgment on the Philistines. The lament "Alas" indicates a deep sorrow or distress over the destruction that the sword will bring.

how long until you rest?
This question reflects a desire for the cessation of violence and judgment. It echoes the human longing for peace and the end of suffering. In the broader biblical narrative, this longing is seen in the cries of the prophets and the people of Israel for deliverance and restoration (Habakkuk 1:2,Revelation 6:10). The question also implies that the sword's activity is under divine control and will cease only when God's purposes are fulfilled.

Return to your sheath;
The imagery of the sword returning to its sheath suggests the end of conflict and the restoration of peace. In ancient times, a sheathed sword indicated that hostilities had ceased. This plea for the sword to return to its sheath is a call for divine mercy and the end of judgment. It reflects the hope that God's wrath will be satisfied and that He will show compassion to His people.

cease and be still!
This command for the sword to cease and be still emphasizes the desire for tranquility and the cessation of divine judgment. It resonates with other biblical passages where God commands stillness and peace (Psalm 46:10,Mark 4:39). The call for stillness is not just a physical cessation of activity but also a spiritual peace that comes from reconciliation with God. This phrase can also be seen as a foreshadowing of the ultimate peace brought by Jesus Christ, who is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), and whose sacrifice brings an end to the enmity between God and humanity.

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 47

Do the promises in Jer 42 about the safety of the remnant conflict with the calamities in Jer 43?

Why does Jeremiah 21:4-7 depict God actively fighting against His own people, contradicting the notion of a loving deity?

Jeremiah 34:3 - How could God promise Zedekiah would not die by the sword if 2 Kings 25:7 says Nebuchadnezzar blinded him and took him captive?

Why do biblical writers often attribute historical victories and defeats to divine intervention rather than natural causes?(6)O thou sword of the Lord . . .--This is the question and entreaty of the Philistines, "When will there be an end of war?" And the prophet has but one answer: the sword must do its work till it has done what Jehovah had appointed it to do.

Verse 6. -O thou sword, etc.; rather,alas! thou sword of the Lord.. It is the mystic sword of which we have heard already (see on Jeremiah 12:10; 46:10).
