Jeremiah 25:19

17 Then I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, and made all the nations drink, to whom the Lord had sent me:

18 Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and its princes, to make them ^aa desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and ^ba curse, as it is this day;

19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes, and all his people;

20 all the mixed multitude, all the kings of ^athe land of Uz, all the kings of the land of the ^bPhilistines (namely, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and ^cthe remnant of Ashdod);

21 ^aEdom, Moab, and the people of Ammon;

22 all the kings of ^aTyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands which are across the ^bsea;

23 ^aDedan, Tema, Buz, and all who are in the farthest corners;

24 all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the ^amixed multitude who dwell in the desert;

25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of ^aElam, and all the kings of the ^bMedes;

26 ^aall the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. Also the king of¹ Sheshach shall drink after them.

What Does Jeremiah 25:19 Mean?

Jeremiah 25:15-30

This is a tremendously broad commission to lay on one man's shoulders! His ministry embraced the totality of the biblical world, and some verses can be understood to encompass the entire world. Many of these nations had existed from the time God scattered the people by confusing the languages at Babel (Genesis 11). Did Jeremiah actually, in person, deliver this warning to these nations? We do not know because records are so rare. Jeremiah's writings include specific prophecies against Egypt, Philistia, Moab, Ammon, Edom, Damascus, Elam, Kedar, Hazor, and Babylon. Did he deliver these prophecies in person, or does the duality principle apply so that the literal fulfillment will occur in a time like ours, when rapid transportation and communication systems exist?
