August 4 — The Sword of the Lord Against the Nations — Chronological Audio Bible Reading | Jeremiah 46–47 | Resolved to Read

In today's reading from Jeremiah 46:1–47:7, the prophet turns from Judah to the nations, announcing God's judgment on Egypt and Philistia. Egypt marches out in confidence and is shattered at Carchemish, the coastal cities of Philistia melt away before an enemy from the north, and the sword of the Lord does not rest until His purpose is finished. These oracles remind us that the Lord rules over every nation, not only His own people, and that no army, alliance, or ancient power can stand when He has spoken. Yet even here God speaks tenderly to those who are His: "Do not fear, O Jacob my servant, for I am with you." He promises to discipline in just measure rather than destroy — a mercy that finds its fullest expression in Jesus, in whom we are corrected in love and never abandoned.Resolved to Read is a daily chronological Bible podcast guiding you through Scripture in one year—with short readings, quiet moments of reflection, and warm conversations that bring faith to life.Join the journey, stay consistent in God’s Word, and grow spiritually one day at a time.📖 Subscribe on your favorite podcast app or watch on YouTube. 🎧 Listen daily + find the full reading plan by following along in the Daily Bible in Chronological Order edited by F.
