   NI är OKUNNIGA. Ni BORDE STUDERA GAMLA TIDERS KRIGFÖRINGAR?

   Ur BIBELN finns det REDOGÖRELSER, och beskrivningar om och kring HUR krigföringar mot avskydda och hatade nationer gick till.

   STUDERA t ex följande utdrag ur det Gamla Testamentet, Jeremia 51,

   (Läs NOGA alla verserna. Där påtalas HUR unga flickor och unga pojkar skall LÄRAS att ”hata” varandra. T ex. Alltså, förmodligen kan det då sägas att: ” INGENTING ÄR NYTT UNDER SOLEN”? T ex i de följande verserna SÄRSKILT:

   Babylon’s Great Punishment

   20 “You are my battle-ax and sword,” says the LORD. “With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms.

   …

   21 With you I will shatter armies— destroying the horse and the rider, the chariot and the charioteer.

   22 With you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and young women.

   23 With you I will shatter shepherds and the flocks, the farmers and the oxen, the captains and the officers.

   HÄR är citat från hela budskapet FRÅN JEREMIA, om förstörelsen (den nödvändiga) av BABYLON:

   JEREMIA 51

   1 This is what the LORD says: “I will stir up destroyers against Babylon and the people of Babylonia.

   2 Foreigners will come and winnow Babylon, blowing Babylon away as chaff. They will come from every side to rise against Babylon in Babylons day of trouble.

   3 Let the archers put on their armor and draw their bows, don’t spare even Babylons best soldiers. Let Babylons army be completely destroyed.”

   4 The Babylonians will fall dead in the land of Babylon, slashed to death in Babylons streets.”

   5 For the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has not abandoned Israel and Judah. He is still their God even though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.”

   6 Flee from Babylon! Save yourselves! Don’t get trapped in Babylons punishment! It is the LORD’s time for vengeance; he will repay Babylon in full.

   7 Babylon has been a gold cup in the LORD’s hands, a cup that made the whole earth drunk. The nations drank Babylon’s wine, and it drove them all mad.

   8 But suddenly Babylon, too, has fallen. Weep for Babylon. Give Babylon medicine. Perhaps Babylon can yet be healed.

   9 We would have helped Babylon if we could, but nothing can save Babylon now. Let Babylon go; abandon Babylon. Return now to your own land. For Babylons punishment reaches to the heavens; it is so great it cannot be measured.

   10 The LORD has vindicated us. Come, let us announce in Jerusalem everything the LORD our God has done.

   11 Sharpen the arrows! Lift up the shields! For the LORD has inspired the kings of the Medes to march against Babylon and destroy it. This is the LORDS vengeance against those who desecrated His Temple.

   12 Raise the battle flag against Babylon! Reinforce the guard and station the watchmen. Prepare an ambush, for the LORD will fulfill all his plans against Babylon.

   13 You are a city by a great river, a great center of commerce, but your end has come. The thread of your life is cut.

   14 The LORD of Heaven’s Armies has taken this vow and has sworn to it by his own name: “Your cities Babylon, will be filled with enemies, like fields swarming with locusts, and they will shout in triumph over you.”

   A Hymn of Praise to the LORD

   15 The LORD made the earth by his power, and He preserves it by His wisdom. With His own understanding He stretched out the heavens.

   16 When He speaks in the thunder, the heavens roar with rain. He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from His storehouses.

   17 The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge. The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make, for their carefully shaped works are a fraud. These idols have no breath or power.

   18 Idols are worthless; they are ridiculous lies! On the day of reckoning they will all be destroyed.

   19 But the God of Israelf is no idol! He is the Creator of everything that exists, including His people, His own special possession. The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

   Babylon’s Great Punishment

   20 “You are my battle-ax and sword,” says the LORD. “With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms.

   21 With you I will shatter armies— destroying the horse and the rider, the chariot and the charioteer.

   22 With you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and young women.

   23 With you I will shatter shepherds and the flocks, the farmers and the oxen, the captains and the officers.

   24 “I will repay Babylon and the people of Babyloniah for all the wrong they have done to my people in Jerusalem,” says the LORD.

   25 “Look, O mighty mountain Babylon, destroyer of the earth! I am your enemy,” says the LORD. “I will raise my fist against you, to knock you down from the heights. When I am finished, you will be nothing but a heap of burnt rubble.

   26 You Babylon, will be desolate forever. Even your stones will never again be used for building. You will be completely wiped out,”says the LORD.

   27 Raise a signal flag to the nations. Sound the battle cry! Mobilize them all against Babylon. Prepare them to fight against her! Bring out the armies of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Appoint a commander, and bring a multitude of horses like swarming locusts!

   28 Bring against Babylon the armies of the nations— led by the kings of the Medes and all their captains and officers.

   29 The earth trembles and writhes in pain, for everything the LORD has planned against Babylon stands unchanged. Babylon will be left desolate without a single inhabitant.

   30 Babylons mightiest warriors no longer fight. They stay in their barracks, their courage gone. They have become like women. The invaders have burned the houses and broken down the city gates.

   31 The news is passed from one runner to the next as the messengers hurry to tell the king that his city has been captured.

   32 All the escape routes are blocked. The marshes have been set aflame, and the army is in a panic.

   33 This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Babylon is like wheat on a threshing floor, about to be trampled. In just a little while her consequenses will begin.”

   34 “King Nebuchadnezzari of Babylon has eaten and crushed us and drained us of strength. He has swallowed us like a great monster and filled his belly with our riches. He has thrown us out of our own country.

   35 Make Babylon suffer as Babylon made us suffer,” say the people of Zion. “Make the people of Babylonia pay for spilling our blood,” says Jerusalem. The LORD’s Vengeance on Babylon.

   36 This is what the LORD says to Jerusalem: “I will be your lawyer to plead your case, and I will avenge you. I will dry up Babylons river as well as Babylons springs,

   37 and Babylon will become a heap of ruins, haunted by jackals. Babylon will be an object of horror and contempt, a place where no one lives.

   38 Babylons people will roar together like lions they will growl like lion cubs.

   39 And while they lie inflamed with all their wine I will prepare a different kind of feast for them. I will make them drink until they fall asleep, and they will never wake up again,” says the LORD.

   40 “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams and goats to be sacrificed.”

   41 “How Babylon is fallen—great Babylon, praised throughout the earth! Now she has become an object of horror among the nations.

   42 The sea has risen over Babylon; Babylon is covered by its crashing waves.

   43 Babylons cities now lie in ruins; Babylon is a dry wasteland where no one lives or even passes by.

   44 And I will punish Baal, the god of Babylon, and make Babylon vomit up all Babylon has eaten. The nations will no longer come and worship Babylon. The wall of Babylon has fallen!

   A Message for the Exiles

   45 “Come out from Babylon, my people, flee from Babylon. Save yourselves! Run from the LORD’s fierce anger.

   46 But do not panic; don’t be afraid when you hear the first rumor of approaching forces. For rumors will keep coming year by year. Violence will erupt in the land as the leaders fight against each other.

   47 For the time is surely coming when I will punish this great city of Babylon and all Babylons idols. Babylons whole land will be disgraced, and Babylons dead will lie in the streets.

   48 Then the heavens and earth will rejoice for out of the north will come destroying armies against Babylon,” says the LORD.

   49 “Just as Babylon killed the people of Israel and others throughout the world, so must her people be killed.”

   50 Get out, all you who have escaped the sword! Do not stand and watch, flee while you can! Remember the LORD, though you are in a far-off land, and think about your home in Jerusalem.”

   51 “We are ashamed,” the people say. “We are insulted and disgraced because the LORD’s Temple has been defiled by foreigners.”

   52 “Yes,” says the LORD, “but the time is coming when I will destroy Babylon’s idols. The groans of her wounded people will be heard throughout the land.

   53 Though Babylon reaches as high as the heavens and makes Babylons fortifications incredibly strong, I will still send enemies to plunder her. I, the LORD, have spoken!

   ….

   Babylon’s Complete Destruction

   54 “Listen! Hear the cry of Babylon, the sound of great destruction from the land of the Babylonians.

   55 For the LORD is destroying Babylon. He will silence Babylons loud voice. Waves of enemies pound against Babylon; the noise of battle rings through the city.

   56 Destroying armies come against Babylon. Babylons mighty men are captured, and their weapons break in their hands. For the LORD is a God who gives just punishment; he always repays in full.

   57 I will make Babylons officials and wise men drunk, along with her captains, officers, and warriors. They will fall asleep and never wake up again!” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

   58 This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: “The thick walls of Babylon will be leveled to the ground, and her massive gates will be burned. The builders from many lands have worked in vain, for their work will be destroyed by fire!”

   Jeremiah’s Message Sent to Babylon

   59 The prophet Jeremiah gave this message to Seraiah son of Neriah and grandson of Mahseiah, a staff officer, when Seraiah went to Babylon with King Zedekiah of Judah. This was during the fourth year of Zedekiah’s reign.

   60 Jeremiah had recorded on a scroll all the terrible disasters that would soon come upon Babylon—all the words written here.

   61 He said to Seraiah, “When you get to Babylon, read aloud everything on this scroll.

   62 Then say, ‘LORD, you have said that you will destroy Babylon so that neither people nor animals will remain here. She will lie empty and abandoned forever.’

   63 When you have finished reading the scroll, tie it to a stone and throw it into the Euphrates River.

   64 Then say, ‘In this same way Babylon and Babylons people will sink, never again to rise, because of the disasters I will bring upon Babylon.’”

   This is the end of Jeremiah’s messages.
