After Jerusalem fell, God left a remnant behind and gave them a good and gentle governor. When he was murdered, the people panicked and fled to Egypt, back to the very land God had once rescued them from, dragging Jeremiah along and clinging to their idols the whole way. It looked like the end of the story. But far away in a Babylonian prison, the exiled son of David was pulled from his cell and given a seat at the king's own table. The lamp of David's line still flickered. God was keeping a promise no exile could put out, and it would burn all the way to Bethlehem. - @theaibibleofficial
