In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. ² And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the articles from the temple of God. These he carried off to the temple of his god in Babylonia and put in the treasure house of his god. (Daniel 1:2)

And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah. It was not Nebuchadnezzar who vanquished Jehoiakim, but the Lord delivered him into the hand of Nebushadnezzar. We must be very careful in our service to the Lord.

 Please continue  to read Ezekiel 44 - Daniel 1.

May the Lord richly bless you.
