And if it is evil in your eyes to serve YHVH, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve YHVH.
Joshua 24:15
You WILL serve someone. There's no way out of that. The only questions are "Whom will you serve?" and "What will be your fate because of it?"

I gave you a land on which you had not labored and cities that you had not built, and you dwell in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.’
Joshua 24:13
Even though God wants us to do the work, all blessing comes by the grace of God and never by our own efforts. Appearances can be deceiving. God's deliverance often comes by the sword, but never because of the sword. It's always because of #faith.
Interestingly Ezekiel 27 prophecy about Tyre also bears similarities with the merchants wailing over Babylon in Revelation.
““All who handle the oar, The mariners, All the pilots of the sea Will come down from their ships and stand on the shore. They will make their voice heard because of you; They will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads; They will roll about in ashes; They will shave themselves completely bald because of you, Gird themselves with sackcloth, And weep for you With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. In their wailing for you They will take up a lamentation, And lament for you: ‘What city is like Tyre, Destroyed in the midst of the sea?”
Ezekiel 27:29-32 NKJV
The night my world came to an end.
Oh, and happy Trumpets!

Jeremiah 51 bears a lot of resemblance to Revealation when speaking of Babylon. Specifically this is a prophecy about Gods vengeance upon Babylon for what they did in Zion. I encourage people to read the whole chapter.
“Therefore behold, the days are coming That I will bring judgment on the carved images of Babylon; Her whole land shall be ashamed, And all her slain shall fall in her midst. Then the heavens and the earth and all that is in them Shall sing joyously over Babylon; For the plunderers shall come to her from the north,” says the Lord.”
Jeremiah 51:47-48 NKJV
In Titus 1:4, Paul calls Titus his "true son" in the ideological sense, not biological. This is the same basic idea as when he wrote that a "true Jew" is one who is a Jew inwardly. It's only a metaphor. It doesn't mean that biological children are no longer children nor that the descendants of Judah are no longer Jews.
