"LORD of Hosts" (Hebrew: Yahweh Sabaoth) emphasizes God's supreme command over the heavenly armies, underscoring His power and sovereignty. The "God of Israel" reaffirms His covenant relationship with Israel, highlighting His faithfulness and the assurance that His words are trustworthy and will come to pass.The Daughter of Babylon This metaphorical expression refers to the city of Babylon itself, personified as a young woman. In ancient Near Eastern culture, cities were often depicted as women, and "daughter" suggests both a sense of endearment and vulnerability. Babylon, once a mighty empire, is portrayed here as fragile and subject to divine judgment.is like a threshing floor A threshing floor was a flat surface where grain was separated from chaff, a process involving trampling or beating. This imagery suggests a place of judgment and separation. Spiritually, it indicates that Babylon will undergo a process of divine judgment, where the true nature of its deeds will be revealed and dealt with accordingly.at the time it is trampled The act of trampling on the threshing floor signifies the intensity and thoroughness of the judgment. Historically, this reflects the impending invasion and destruction of Babylon by the Medes and Persians. Theologically, it serves as a reminder of God's justice and the certainty that evil will not go unpunished.in just a little while This phrase conveys the imminence of Babylon's judgment. Though it may seem delayed, God's timing is perfect, and His plans are executed precisely when He intends. It reassures believers that God's promises, though sometimes appearing slow, are always fulfilled at the appointed time.her harvest time will come The "harvest time" symbolizes the culmination of Babylon's actions and the resulting consequences. In biblical terms, harvest often represents a time of reaping what has been sown, whether good or evil. For Babylon, it signifies the impending divine retribution for its pride and idolatry. This serves as a sobering reminder of the principle of sowing and reaping, encouraging believers to live righteously in anticipation of their own spiritual harvest.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/51.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(33) The daughter of Babylon . . .--More literally, The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, in the time when it is trodden (i.e., when it is being prepared for the actual process), yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come to her. The imagery is so familiar that it hardly needs an illustration (see <a href="/psalms/1-4.htm" title="The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.">Psalm 1:4</a>; <a href="/isaiah/21-10.htm" title="O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared to you.">Isaiah 21:10</a>; <a href="/context/isaiah/28-27.htm" title="For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about on the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.">Isaiah 28:27-28</a>; <a href="/micah/4-13.htm" title="Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.">Micah 4:13</a>). The time of "her harvest" of the Authorised version is ambiguous. What is meant is that the heaped-up treasures of Babylon are but as the harvest which shall be reaped by her conquerors, and the city itself as the threshing-floor on which men shall trample on the plunder.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/51.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 33. - It is time to thresh her;
