Season of Babylon's Influence

Greetings in the Lord! Today's word comes from Jeremiah 27. It is an interesting chapter because Jeremiah gives the word not only to Judah, but also to all the kings of Edom , Moab , Ammon , Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys that had come to Jerusalem to visit King Zedekiah. ...This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Tell this to your masters: 'With My great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I give it to anyone I please. Now I will hand all your countries over to My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; I will make even the wild animals subject to him.

I find that very encouraging. Take, for example, a blog I wrote way back in January of 2010 about a woman I vaguely knew anything about, British comic Jennifer Saunders (and her comedic partner, Dawn French). When the Lord put her on my heart from out of the blue in October of 2009, I had to do some research about her on the Internet . I had never heard of her comedy series "French and Saunders" or most of the other projects she had done over the years, except for her TV series "Absolutely Fabulous." And while I found th
