This phrase reflects the dire situation faced by Jerusalem after its conquest. The "adversary" refers to the Babylonian forces led by King Nebuchadnezzar, who invaded and plundered the city. The treasures mentioned are not only material wealth but also the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Israelites. This event fulfills the warnings given by prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah, who cautioned that disobedience to God would lead to such devastation (<a href="/isaiah/39-6.htm">Isaiah 39:6</a>, <a href="/jeremiah/15-13.htm">Jeremiah 15:13</a>). The loss of treasures symbolizes the stripping away of God's blessings due to the people's unfaithfulness.For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary— The sanctuary refers to the Temple in Jerusalem, the most sacred site for the Israelites, where God's presence dwelt. The entry of foreign nations into the sanctuary was a profound desecration, as it was meant to be a holy place reserved for the worship of Yahweh by His chosen people. This invasion by the Babylonians was a direct violation of the sanctity of the Temple, highlighting the severity of Jerusalem's fall. Historically, the Temple's desecration was a significant event, marking a turning point in Israel's history and leading to the Babylonian Exile.those You had forbidden to enter Your assembly. This phrase underscores the exclusivity of the Israelite assembly, which was meant to be a community set apart for God. According to the Law of Moses, certain nations and individuals were prohibited from entering the assembly of the Lord (<a href="/deuteronomy/23-3.htm">Deuteronomy 23:3-6</a>). The presence of these forbidden nations in the sanctuary signifies a breach of divine order and covenant. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of Israel's failure to uphold their covenant with God, leading to the loss of their distinct identity and privileges. This situation foreshadows the need for a new covenant, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who opens the way for all nations to enter God's assembly through faith (<a href="/ephesians/2-11.htm">Ephesians 2:11-22</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_enemy.htm">The Enemy</a> Represents the Babylonian forces that invaded and conquered Jerusalem, symbolizing any force that opposes God's people. 2. <a href="/topical/h/her_treasures.htm">Her Treasures</a> Refers to the sacred and valuable items of Jerusalem, including those in the temple, which were plundered by the Babylonians. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_nations.htm">The Nations</a> The foreign nations, particularly the Babylonians, who were not part of God's covenant people and were forbidden from entering the sacred spaces of the temple. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_sanctuary.htm">The Sanctuary</a> The holy temple in Jerusalem, a place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. 5. <a href="/topical/y/your_assembly.htm">Your Assembly</a> Refers to the congregation of Israel, God's chosen people, who were meant to be separate from the pagan nations.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_disobedience.htm">The Consequences of Disobedience</a> The invasion and desecration of Jerusalem serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from God's commandments.
