Jeremiah 47 and 48 speak to the countries that surround Israel and Judah. They will be laid waste because they have led the people of God astray.

In John 17 Jesus prays. The time has come for God to glorify him. He has completed his work on earth and is ready to take his place back with God.

Jesus asks that God be with those who have followed him He asks protection for them when he is gone. Jesus prays for those who will hear the gospel message through his followers that they, too, will become one with God through him.
