Notes

Disaster...a mighty storm: These words highlight the terrible wars that destroyed many nations in the 500s BC.

  • The Lord is the supreme ruler of all nations, and their rebellion was about to bring judgment.

  • To whom I send you: Jeremiah did not travel to each nation in person. The message he delivered from the Lord spread mainly through written material, much of it in the book of Jeremiah, which people have read worldwide.
