In chapter 46 the Lord speaks to Jeremiah and reveals Nebudchadnezzar's plans to attack Egypt. The Lord has already warned what will happen if they went to Egypt. They chose not to believe the Lord. Are you listening? The Lord wants to speak through the Holy Spirit to you personally. God loves you and cares for you and wants what's best for you. He will discipline with justice. We would not let wrong doings go unpunished with our own children. With discipline we stay on track and learn the importance of restraint.
In chapter 47 we see the verdict of God's judgment on the Philistines. He will wipe out the remnant. To my knowledge they do not exist as a people today. There are still hard feelings over the Gaza strip even today. The Lord gave it to Israel and He will clearly take it back if His people are not obedient.
In chapter 48 God is telling them He is bringing consequences on the Moabites for leading His people astray to worship false gods as they fled and lived in their land. He then promises to restore the land of Ammon. Jeremiah was the only one listening to the Lord, and He spoke clearly through him. I would ask us to have that close intimate relationship that the Lord may speak clearly and we may hear.
