Sinalakay ni Haring Nebucadnezar ng Babilonia ang Jerusalem at ang mga bayan sa palibot nito. Kasama niyang lumusob ang lahat ng sundalo niya pati ang mga sundalo na galing sa mga kaharian na nasasakupan niya. Sa panahong iyon, sinabi kay Jeremias ng Panginoong Makapangyarihan, ang Dios ng Israel, “Pumunta ka kay Haring Zedekia ng Juda at sabihin mo sa kanya na ako, ang Panginoon, ang nagsasabi, ‘Ibibigay ko sa hari ng Babilonia ang lungsod na ito at susunugin niya ito.’
What Does This Mean?
Jeremiah 34:1 tells us that God gave a message to Jeremiah when the Babylonian army, led by King Nebuchadnezzar, was attacking Jerusalem and all its surrounding cities. This message is about the serious situation Jerusalem was facing.
