Day 294 of the One Year Audio Bible Podcast. We get a dive into prophecies about nations other than Israel. Chapter 46 is all about Egypt. Jeremiah predicts Egypt's defeat by Babylon at the battle of Carchemish and further invasions that'll hit Egypt. Despite their mighty army, Egypt's gonna have a tough time. Chapter 47 pivots to the Philistines, especially their main city, Gaza. The prophecy here? A flood of invaders (Babylon) will come from the north, causing widespread destruction. In 1 Timothy 6:3-21, Paul drops some wisdom about the dangers of loving money. He starts by calling out anyone teaching false doctrines and then dives into the classic line, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." He warns that this desire has led many away from the faith. But Timothy? He's told to flee from these things and fight the good fight of faith. Paul urges him to keep the commands without spot or blame until Jesus returns. The chapter ends with instructions for the rich to be generous and for Timothy to guard the faith, avoiding godless chatter.

Day 263 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE. Babylon gets a stern warning for its pride and evil deeds, while Israel is reminded of God's love and promises, and the Servant of the Lord is portrayed as a beacon of hope for the nations. In Galatians, Paul's a bit frustrated because the Galatians started strong in faith but got sidetracked by folks insisting on following old laws. He emphasizes freedom in Christ, but not to misuse it. Also, there's this fab list contrasting the not-so-great actions (like jealousy, fits of rage) with the rockstar traits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, etc.).
