Can you imagine the fear that gripped the inhabitants of Jerusalem when they beheld the massive Babylonian army as it approached the city to destroy it? King Zedekiah fled, only to be quickly caught, watch his sons be slaughtered, and have his eyes put out. Jeremiah had warned the people to relinquish to the Babylonians and they would be ok. Some fled to Egypt and likewise suffered devastation.

The only thing a Christian is to flee from is sin and evil. We face ALL ELSE.

Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation. Be of good cheer … I  have (already) overcome the world.” [Jn. 16:33]  – This is a life verse all Christians should have memorized!
