Jeremiah 39

Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given these orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan commander of the imperial guard:  “Take him and look after him; don’t harm him but do for him whatever he asks.” vv.11-12

Read chapter 39
The final fall of Jerusalem where now everyone is taken into captivity except a of a few we read here.    The Babylonians have finally broken down the walls of Jerusalem and killed or taken captive those still in the city.  The captain of the army, Nebuzaradan, leaves only the very poor who had nothing (v.10).  But the other person shown favor to is Jeremiah.  After all those years of prophesying and suffering, Jeremiah is now shown rest and favor.  Nebuchadnezzar gives the command not to harm Jeremiah but to do whatever he says.  Wow! Jeremiah rejected by his own people the Jews, but honored by the gentile nations.  How Jeremiah was heard by Nebuchadnezzar is not really known, perhaps by those that had heeded God's word to flee there before Babylon took over that they may save their lives.  Jeremiah wasn't just released from prison to a destroyed city with nothing, but was looked after and provided for whatever he asked.  Jeremiah is allowed back at his home in Ramah and under the care of Gedaliah whose father had befriended Jeremiah and who now becomes the governor over the cities of Judah appointed by the king of Babylon.
How have you seen favor shown by nonbeliever than by believers to someone or something of God today?
