In last week’s article “Surrender to Live,” we noted that the people of Judah were taken captive by the Babylonians and the horrific scene recorded in Jeremiah 52 of King Zedekiah’s sons being killed in front of his very eyes before the King of Babylon would put out the eyes of King Zedekiah (Jerem...
