Jeremiah 51
1. The severe judgment of God against Babylon, in revenge of Israel
59. Jeremiah delivers the book of this prophecy to Seraiah, to be cast into Euphrates,
64. in token of the perpetual sinking of Babylon














Come out of her, My people!
This phrase is a divine call for separation and deliverance. The Hebrew root for "come out" is "yatsa," which implies a physical departure but also a spiritual and moral separation. Historically, this is a call to the Israelites to leave Babylon, a city symbolic of sin and rebellion against God. In a broader scriptural context, it echoes the call for believers to separate themselves from worldly influences and sin, as seen in Revelation 18:4. The phrase "My people" signifies a personal relationship and covenant between God and His chosen ones, emphasizing His protective and redemptive nature.

Save your lives
The Hebrew word for "save" is "malat," which means to escape or deliver. This is not just a physical salvation but a spiritual one, urging the people to preserve their lives by aligning with God's will. The historical context here is the impending destruction of Babylon, and the call is urgent. Spiritually, it is a reminder of the eternal salvation offered through faith and obedience to God, encouraging believers to prioritize their spiritual well-being over worldly attachments.

each of you
This phrase emphasizes individual responsibility and action. In the Hebrew context, it underscores that while God calls His people collectively, each person must respond personally. This individual call to action is a recurring theme in Scripture, where personal faith and decision-making are crucial in one's relationship with God. It highlights the personal nature of salvation and the need for each believer to heed God's call.

from the fierce anger of the LORD
The "fierce anger" of the LORD, or "charon aph" in Hebrew, conveys the intensity of God's righteous judgment against sin. Historically, this refers to the impending judgment on Babylon, a city that epitomized defiance against God. In a broader theological context, it serves as a warning of the consequences of sin and the reality of divine justice. However, it also underscores God's mercy, as He provides a way of escape for His people. This phrase is a sobering reminder of the seriousness of sin and the urgency of repentance and obedience to God.

(45) Go ye out of the midst of her . . .--The prophet repeats, with all the emphasis of iteration, the summons of Jeremiah 50:8; Jeremiah 51:6. The "fierce anger of the Lord" is that which was directed primarily against Babylon, but which would also fall on those who chose to remain and become "partakers in her plagues." (Compare Revelation 18:4.)
