A Terror - Jeremiah 34:17

Jeremiah 34:17 ESV 
“Therefore thus says the Lord, ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming release each man to his brother and each man to his neighbor. Behold, I am proclaiming a release to you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to the sword, to the pestilence and to the famine; and I will make you a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

Three of the four horsemen in Revelation find illumination here in Jeremiah. It is the punishment of Israel for breaking the covenant. The seals have been broken and the trumpets blown. Israel has been under the yoke of oppression for thousands of years. They have been re gathered as the Lord said He would. 

The fear of God and Israel has yet to take place for the nations. The cup of trembling has yet to be tipped. The nations gather round the promised land and tremble not. The glory of the Lord will be seen and they will know that He is God.
