Jeremiah 24-25 "You Were Warned" 2/28/24

We have a time frame here after Nebuchadnezzar had the king, the officials, and the skilled craftsmen to Babylon.
After this God gives Jeremiah a vision of a basket full of figs.
Take note of what Nebuchadnezzar has done… he's effectively put Judah out of business if you will…or at the very least…he has greatly curtailed the daily operation of the city.
They lost a good portion of their governing class and the people who keep things running.
They lost the best and the brightest…but as you will see…what Nebuchadnezzar meant for evil; God would use for good.
Those who were taken out of the city were taken for their protection.
Nebuchadnezzar thinks he has effectively weakened Judah to the point where they should no longer be able to rebel.
But as we will see…that doesn’t stop them.
We know from Biblical and secular history that Babylon attacked Judah three times.
