The letters to the exiles presnt Jeremiah as the authority about the exiles' survival. In verse 3: Suporters of Jeremiah serve as couriers. The exiles are not to resist Babylonian rule, but to live there in normal domestic relations and to seek the welfare of the city where they are held captive. In verse 10: After 70 years, probably symbolizing a long time, their relationship with God will be restored, and they will return to their land. Comments or Questions..
