Reading for October 2nd

Read Jeremiah 24.1-10. In 24.1-10: Figs. Jerusalem has been invaded, King Jehoiachin is in captivity, and King Zedekiah has been appointed in his place. Jeremiah has a vision of two baskets of figs. One symbolizes survivors in Babylon, the other stands for those who have stayed in Judah or escaped to Eypt. The first basket is good; the second is rotten. The message for the survivors is that to survive they must cooperate with Babylon. Only then will they have a future. Comments or Questions..
