Jeremiah's Prophecies During Siege - Jeremiah 21:1-14, 22:1-9, 34:1-7, 32:1-44, 33:1-9
This is what the Lord says: See, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death. Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague. But whoever goes out and surrenders to the Babylonians who are besieging you will live; he will escape with his life. Jeremiah 21:8-9
Wait. God helped them take the Promised Land. He has stood up for His people and protected them. But now the way life is not to fight the invader but to give in. Surrender and not fighting is the way to win. It's counter intuitive for us. But it is truth. The truth of a Christ who totally surrendered to win the fight. Lord knows.
