Babylon finally breaks through Jerusalem's walls, and everything Jeremiah warned about comes true.
After an eighteen-month siege, the Babylonians breach Jerusalem's walls. King Zedekiah tries to flee but is captured. They kill his sons in front of him, blind him, and carry him off in chains. The temple is burned, the walls demolished, and most of the population is deported to Babylon. It's the catastrophic end that Jeremiah spent decades warning about.
Everything Jeremiah warned about for forty years finally happens. Jerusalem falls, the king is blinded, and the city burns to the ground. But in the middle of the devastation, God quietly keeps his promises — protecting his prophet and rewarding the one man who showed courage when it counted.
JeremiahHow It All EndedThe final chapter of Jeremiah reads like a coroner's report. Jerusalem falls, the temple burns, the people are dragged into exile — everything Jeremiah warned about for forty years, recorded in unflinching detail. But the last four verses refuse to let the story end in total darkness.
