The prophet walks in the midst of the ruins of the fallen city. What was once the capital of His nation, the city of Kings and princes, now lies in ashes and rubble. The streets are desolate. The city upon which rested the name and glory of God is destroyed. The land of Zion is left desolate.
He had not been silent. He had sounded the alarm and warned his nation, over and over and over again. But they had rejected the warning and the bearer of that warning. They persecuted him and placed him in prison. And then the calamity of which he had long prophesied finally happened. The kingdom was no more. Gone was the Temple. Gone were the priests. Gone was the nation He had known and loved.
The year was 586 BC. The city was Jerusalem. The kingdom was due to. And the prophet was named “Yirmayahu” or as he would later be known too much of the world, Jeremiah. He wept not only for the city and the land but also for his people. The city was desolate. It’s fields were abandoned. Men, women, and children were taken captive it into exile in the land of those would wrought the destruction. Now, by the rivers of Babylon, they sat down and wept.
