At this part of the book of Jeremiah we get to some action. The kings of Judah are trying to avoid being taken over. Babylon threatens from the north, Egypt to from the south. Can they form an alliance with one to keep the other at bay? The key in this story is that Babylon represents selfishness, and Egypt scientific knowledge, so this story is an image of how we deal in spiritual crisis situations. Do we run to Babylon or Egypt, or do we listen to God's prophet, Jeremiah?
