Prophetic Actions
Jeremiah 51:61-64
“He said to Seraiah, ‘When you get to Babylon, see that you read all these words aloud. Then say, ‘O Lord, you have said you will destroy this place, so that neither man nor animal will live in it; it will be desolate forever.’ When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and throw it into the Euphrates. Then say, ‘So will Babylon sink to rise no more because of the disaster I will bring upon Her. And her people will fall.’ ”
God’s judgments of nations and kingdoms are not random events, but decisions made in the throne room of heaven that are then proclaimed on earth by God’s servants who are listening to Him and praying. Jeremiah lived for God’s purposes before his nation’s purposes. Jeremiah not only wrote down the words God gave him, but he had them proclaimed in Babylon as a prophetic action. The scroll was then thrown into the Euphrates as a prophetic statement.
Are prophetic actions still called for by the Lord today?
Does God still share his plans with His servants so that we can pray?
Will God’s kingdom purposes prevail today over the pride and national kingdom-building of men?
Lord Jesus, may your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven; in my life be glorified.
