Reading for November 26th

Read Jeremiah 51.54-69. In a symbolic act written in prose, Baruch's brother, Seraiah goes to Babylon under Jeremiah's directions. There Seraiah is to read the scroll containing prophecies against Babylon aloud, attach a stone to the scroll, and sink it in the Euphrates River. Like the sinking scroll, so will Babylon sink from its high position. This symbolic act embodies the divine will, it needs only to come to fulfillment. Comments or Questions..
