Passage: Jeremiah 47-49
Notes: Even those who do not profess the God of Israel are held responsible for their
disobedience to their maker. Three are promised return, and God pledges to
defend the orphans and widows of Edom. -> Nations that are not God's Display
Nation (us, too!) are still held responsible for their disobedience. While we
are not called to legislate non-Christians into acting like Christians, we
should be clear in our message that God is not giving unbelievers a free pass at
disobeying Him, especially in their treatment of the weak (widows and orphans).
That latter part should also be a warning regarding our own priorities.
