God knows all and controls all. He knows the time we will accept His gift of salvation. He washes us clean and we become one of His own. We will never be able to fully comprehend His mercy and the kindness He bestows on man. He takes what Satan means to kill, steal and destroy us and transforms it into good to benefit us and those around us. May our lives reflect His love and His goodness? Through His love we will be changed precept upon precept into the image of His Son, the Body of Christ.
Jehoiachin was pardoned by the king of Babylon. Jehoiachin was provided food and given a seat of honor in Babylon. This restoration was symbolic of the future restoration of Israel and Judah to their homeland.
31 Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison. 32 And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in Babylon. 33 So Jehoiachin changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread regularly before the king all the days of his life. 34 And as for his provisions, there was a regular ration given him by the king of Babylon, a portion for each day until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
