     | 216 views

    Jeremiah speaks of the LORD’S loving kindness and compassions yet all around is misery and suffering and death, even cannibalism, because of the Babylonian slaughter. How can this possibly be reconciled? Can abject suffering and death and a God of love be put together? Recall is important!
