God again gives a warning that the force of Babylon can't be beaten. God has given Babylon the victory, so fighting against Babylon at this time would be fighting against God. Yet it is the end of the chapter I want to focus on. God is telling them that not only are the articles of the temple that were lost not coming back, but what they had left was going to be lost. This reminds me of Jesus' word in Matthew 25:29, "For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them." If we aren't faithful in following God, we will not only not get back what we may have lost, but we will also end up losing everything.
