Ethos can amplify the preacher's message, but it cannot serve as a substitute for the authority of the biblical text. Good ethos is not a guarantee of good results.

The name of Nebuchadnezzar is used by Jeremiah in Chapter 50 (50:17) and in Chapter 51 (51:34). The use of the name might cause some to initially think Jeremiah's use of the ancient name in these two end times chapters may mean they are really about the Babylon in the future. Like a good mystery, though, both references to Nebuchadnezzar are included in statements about how Israel had been attacked in the past. Historically true.

neither verse says the prophecies in Chapters 50 and 51 are about ancient Babylon. On the contrary, a close study of the 99 verses confirms they are for the future end days. Jeremiah 50:40, for example, states that the Daughter of Babylon will be destroyed "as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah." That type of dramatic destruction never happened to ancient Babylon, but it will happen to the Daughter of Babylon.

IDENTITY CLUE 4: A NATION OF WEALTH AND LUXURY Besides the foregoing prophecies which reveal the Daughter of Babylon will be a nation of great wealth, these verses further address the issue of great national wealth: "…because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass…" (Jeremiah 50:12(b)). "…a sword is upon her treasures…" (Jeremiah 50:37(b)) "You who…are rich in treasures…" (Jeremiah 51:13(a)).

IDENTITY CLUE 6: YOU WHO LIVE ON MANY WATERS Jeremiah 51:13 provides another critical clue of the identity of the Daughter of Babylon: "You who live by many waters and are rich in treasures, your end has come, the time for you to be cut off."

Jeremiah has given us a major identity clue when he tells us that the Daughter of Babylon is a melting pot of "mingled" people. This clue wouldn't apply to Ancient Babylon nor to a global Church denomination, even if it has members in many nations. The word Jeremiah used is translated as "mingled", which doesn't apply to scattered persons in many nations.

Jeremiah 51:13 provides another critical clue of the identity of the Daughter of Babylon: "You who live by many waters and are rich in treasures, your end has come, the time for you to be cut off." Ancient Babylon, a quick review of a map will confirm, did not live by many waters, just the River Euphrates.

IDENTITY CLUE 10: THE DAUGHTER OF BABYLON MOUNTS UP TO HEAVENS "Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD." (Jeremiah 51:53) This is a fascinating verse, in that it was written over 2,600 years before man perfected flight and could rise up to the heavens.

IDENTITY CLUE 11: WHERE THE NATIONS GATHER "…and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him" (Jeremiah 51:44c – KJV) "…and the nations will no longer stream to him" (Jeremiah 51:44c – NAS) In either translation, the identity clue verse says that before the fall of the Daughter of Babylon the nations of the world "flow together", "stream to" this end times nation.

IDENTITY CLUE 12: SHE HAS BEEN PROUD AGAINST THE LORD "…for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel" (Jeremiah 50:29d) ". . . 'See, I am against you, O arrogant one,' declares the LORD, the LORD Almighty, 'for your day has come, the time for you to be punished." (Jeremiah 50:31) "And the most proud shall stumble and fall…" (Jeremiah 50:32a)

IDENTITY CLUE 13: JEWISH POPULATION "In those days, at that time," declares the LORD, "the people of Israel and the people of Judah together will go in tears to seek the LORD their God.
