Not Forsaken

The purpose of The LORD God was to destroy Babylon, in order to uphold His covenant promise to His people.

1. God does not forsake His people, but rather takes action to defeat our enemies and to vindicate us! (v.1-11)
2. God takes differentiating action because God and we are everything to one another; He is our portion, and we are His inheritance! (v.12-24)
3. The LORD's purposes stand - both against Babylon and for His people. (v.25-33)
