Israel wasnts peace at its own terms."Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out;" (v.44)
The present resonates with the Jeremiah's time as it does with Gideon's time. The nation of Israel set up their will as Abimelech, the usurper did by killing seventy upon one stone. His conspiracy got him what he wanted but the Spirit has given us how his end was. "And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull."( Jud. 9:53). This resonates with the downfall of Babylon . "And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."(Re.18:21). The reverse parable tells of Israel trying to settle its destiny without obeying God's will. What remains is the aful hour of judgment facing Israel. The Abimelech episode compares with Re.18. This is how the Spirit instructs us by comparing spiritual with spiritual so by the Power of the Spirit we may be edified. "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."
Our instruction in righteousness is by abiding in Christ who of God has become our righteousness..(1 Co.2:5, 13)
"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"(1 Co.3:30)
