Jeremiah 52

Today we are reading Jeremiah 52. Tomorrow we will begin reading the Minor Prophets. In this chapter we read about the historical description of the fall of Jerusalem. The chapter concludes with a new king of Babylon treating King Jehoiachin kindly.“And in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, graciously freed Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison. And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat above the seats of the kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put off his prison garments. And every day of his life he dined regularly at the king’s table, and for his allowance, a regular allowance was given him by the king, according to his daily needs, until the day of his death, as long as he lived.” Jeremiah‬ ‭52:31-34‬ ‭ESV‬‬ The people of Judah had been slaves in Babylon 37 years before circumstances started to improve. Have you ever had to endure a difficult circumstance? How did you navigate the discouraging time? Where did you find strength? May God remind you that He is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Pastor Tim
