In Jeremiah 39 & 40, the fall of Jerusalem comes just as God said it would. It wasn't a one day fight. It was a process that happened over time until the city and the Temple was completely taken over by the Babylonians. After warning after warning to turn and repent, all that God said would happen through Jeremiah comes forth because they refuse to turn from sin to God. Jeremiah is shown grace, mercy, and protection just as God promised him. God is faithful to His Word and honors faithfulness in His children.
