     Explanation: In Jeremiah 47 the LORD sent a message of judgment against the Philistines and their chief cities (Gaza, and Ashkelon) and their trading partners, such as Tyre (depicted above). The prophecy came before Pharaoh smote Gaza, which may refer to one or both of the times when Pharaoh Necho defeated Gaza in 609 and 601 B.C., as reported by Herodotus (1). After Pharaoh, another conqueror (probably Nebuchadrezzar), was coming from the north who would overflow the land like a flood bringing distress and feebleness (2-3). The chief cities of the Philistines (Gaza and Ashkelon) and their chief trading partners (Tyrus and Zidon) would be smitten together with Caphtor, which may refer to Cappadocia, Crete, Cyprus, or to a region within Philistia (4-6).
     Today's image depicts Tyre, one of the cities mentioned in today's chapter, which was destined to destruction.

     1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza. 2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl. 3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands; 4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor. 5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself? 6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
