Jeremiah 24, 25

Many of the inhabitants of Jerusalem were dragged off in exile to Babylon after Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest of the city. God told them if they submitted to the exile, He would preserve their lives. However, if they remained and resisted they would lose their lives.

The point is this: God can preserve His people when they are subdued by ungodly regimes. These regimes think they can diminish God’s power or influence. They are sadly mistaken.

His people are wise to faithfully continue to serve Him and retain a Christian culture in the home.

“In the world you shall have tribulation. Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. [Jn 16:33]
