And ye shall seek me, find ' ime, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.' tferemiah 29: 18. ; 1 - Lemon Text: Jeremiah 29: 1, 4-H - The last in the line of kings of Ju dah, before its downfall, was Jehoia kim, who was the puppet of Necho, the - Egyptian ruler, who had conquered , Palestine. Necho's srlorv did not last 'Nebuchadrezzer. Egyptian power over Palestine did not end, and Jehoiakim had to submit to Nebuchadrezzer aa hie overlord.. After three years, he foolishly rebelled against Babylonia amd soon the army of Nebuchadrezzer laid seige to Jerusalem. ' But, before I i it was finally conquered, Jehoiakim died and his son, Jehoichin, ascended to the throne. He reigned only three ". months before the fall of Jerusalem ; and he was carried away into captivity with about eight thousand of the lead' ing citizens of the kingdom, among , vnom was uzeksiel,. the phophet Zedekiah: was then made king by 'Mebuchadrezzer, under oath to be sub servient to the Babylonians. After sev en, or eight years, Zedekiah made J treasonable pact with the Egyptians and, in 588 B. C., Nebuchadrezzer, angered by this faithfulness, began the second seige of Jerusalem. In 685 B. C, It fell into his hands, and he destroyed it," leaving the Temple a blackened heap and the city a mass of ruins. . x "' . ' a ., Zedekiah .was .captured - as . he, atr tempted to escape and was led before the Babylonian monarch in chains. Here he wa$ondemned by a court for treachery and suffered a painful and life-long punishment Many of prominent leaders of the Jews--were executed and Che king's children were killed in his presence just before Zedekiah was 'permanently blinded and carried captive to Babylon, where he finally died. - . ' It is interesting to note that, in all times .of crisis, God has a man pres ent to warn his people and to comfort " them. Jeremiah the prophet had been Warning the king and the people of the punishment which would follow their departure from God buHie could ret no audience. When the Jews were taken into the final exile, Jeremiah was given the choice of going with them or remaining with the pitiful few who were left amid the ruins of Jerusalem. Knowing that the prophet bzekoei was already in Babylon. Jere- 1 1 miah elected to remain in Jerusalem. lit might be well to note hers the milestones of Jewish history: (1) Ab raham Journeys to Canaan: (2) Jac ob's descent into. Egypt; (3) the exo dus Irom Egypt under Moses: (4) the conquest of Canaan; '(5) Israel's first king: (6) the division of the kins: . dom; (7) the fall of Israel; (8) the sail of Jerusalem, resulting in Baby- Ionian captivity; and, finally,? (9)' the return from captivity. ' a- " . There were, actually, three depor tations of the Jews to Babylon rather tfuui one. .The first came in 697 . der King Jehoiakim; mentioned . when more than 8.000 were denerted, Eleven years later, in 586 B. C an other 15,000 men were enslaved, and v another 2,500 were -taken captive in 681 : B,: C. Thus, when women and children who were taken captive with ' s men are included, probably more t. a C3.C00 Jews suffered exile. From Jerusalem, from time to time.
