The use of "Behold" serves as a call to attention, emphasizing the seriousness of the message. The "terror" mentioned is a common theme in prophetic literature, often signifying God's wrath against sin and disobedience. In the context of Jeremiah, this terror is directed towards the nations surrounding Israel, specifically the Ammonites in this chapter. Historically, the Ammonites were frequent adversaries of Israel, and their judgment is part of God's broader plan to address the sins of the nations.declares the Lord GOD of Hosts The title "Lord GOD of Hosts" underscores God's supreme authority and power. "Hosts" refers to the heavenly armies, indicating that God commands not only earthly forces but also celestial ones. This title reassures the reader of God's ability to execute His plans and judgments. It is a reminder of God's sovereignty over all nations and His role as the ultimate judge.from all those around you This phrase suggests that the terror will come from neighboring nations. Historically, the Ammonites were surrounded by powerful entities such as Babylon, which would eventually conquer them. This reflects the geopolitical realities of the ancient Near East, where smaller nations were often caught in the power struggles of larger empires. Theologically, it illustrates how God can use other nations as instruments of His judgment.You will each be driven headlong The imagery of being "driven headlong" conveys a sense of panic and disorder. It suggests a rapid and chaotic retreat, highlighting the totality of the defeat. This phrase can be connected to the broader biblical theme of divine retribution, where those who oppose God's will are often depicted as fleeing in confusion and fear.with no one to regather the fugitives This part of the verse emphasizes the completeness of the judgment. The absence of anyone to "regather the fugitives" indicates a total dispersion and lack of hope for recovery. In the ancient world, the ability to regroup after a defeat was crucial for survival, and this phrase underscores the finality of God's judgment. It also serves as a warning to the reader about the consequences of turning away from God, reinforcing the need for repentance and reliance on divine mercy.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his prophecies concerning the judgment and restoration of Israel and the surrounding nations. 2. <a href="/topical/a/ammonites.htm">Ammonites</a> The people addressed in this prophecy, descendants of Lot, and often in conflict with Israel.
