October 13, 2013 – Jeremiah 52

This is basically repeating what has already been covered in the fall of Jerusalem.  What I noticed was the number of people exiled.  You have a vision of thousands and thousands being marched away.  But it says 3000 from Judah, 800 from Jerusalem and 700 again from Judah.  What accounts for the small number, I don’t know.  Either they didn’t want to take that many people back or that many people had been killed in the attacks and the siege.  Although there isn’t an enormous amount, you can see what God did with Jacob’s family that went into Egypt.  The same will happen to those in exile as God will provide for them as they await their time to come back home.
