For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

This section of scripture is one I am not real familiar with, but none the less,
Here is a commentary I just read at crosswalk.com.. I read the entire chapter to grab the context.. I hope you know that this chapter is speaking of nations.

John here: I realize that there are things that one does not understand. And are not familiar with. (such as 2 Peter 3:16) But if I can, let me mention 'man's commentaries'. In Jeremiah 17:5 we are told.. "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.' Do you believe this??? I do. But what have you just done? And they are right & God is wrong? Now, you are familiar with the verse, huh?
For one to be safe to save surely needs the Matthew 4:4 verse on any given doctrinal subject for Truth. And 2 Timothy 3:16 say's to use All Scripture for understanding Doctrine.
Does it make any sense for God to change His way (?Red flag) & just blot one sinful nation out of existence while all others of Revelation 17:5 ones are PURELY STATED, THE ABOMINATION OF THE EARTH ONES??? That would violate many verses of the Word of God. Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 & Ecclesiastes 3:15 Documents Truth.
There are many commentaries, most are written by the ones of Revelation 17:5. Now, go and see how they botch that up! Surely that is not them, huh? Where hardly any two agree on doctrine.
God does not change. What Obadiah says under Inspiration is Eternal Gospel (Revelation 14:6) not just for a nation, but for MANKIND. They, if lost, will cease to exist!! You need to get this right! (WE DO) I suggest that we stay with the Word of God alone for Their own hermeneutics.
