Jeremiah 29 has been brought to my attention lately.
Letter to the exiles in Babylon--deported from Jerusalem--the holy city--to Babylon.
- build
- settle down
- plant and eat
- marry
- have children
- have grandchildren
You must increase there and not decrease.
Work for the good of the city to which I have exiled you.
I am and have been an exile.
Pray to Yahweh on behalf of the city of my exile.
When the period of time granted to the city of my exile is over, Yahweh will intervene on my behalf and fulfill His favorable promise to me by bringing me back.
"Yes, I know what plans I have in mind for you," Yahweh declares, "plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
