Commentary on Jeremiah 51:20
God calls Babylon 'my battle axe and weapons of war' - acknowledging He used them to execute judgment on nations. This doesn't excuse Babylon's cruelty but recognizes God's sovereignty in using evil nations to accomplish His purposes. God can use wicked instruments for righteous ends, yet the instruments remain accountable for their motives and methods (Hab 1:6-17).
