Jeremiah 46:18-24 - A gadfly is coming

46:18,19
The Lord Almighty is the King. Men worried about various earthly kings and developed and pursued their policies in the light of this, but the King we should all build our lives around is the Lord Almighty. Tabor was a mountain with an important strategic position. The Lord would send one who would dominate Egypt, so they should prepare for exile. Nothing better wa going to happen.

46:20-24
Egypt had a high opinion of herself, but a gadfly (Babylon) would come who would upset all her plans. Egypt had mercenaries in her armies, but these would turn and flee and may well have fought with the Babylonians. Egypt would hiss like a snake, but all would be in vain. She would be utterly defeated by the invading army.
