As siege was laid out upon Jerusalem and the overtaking was almost complete, the prophet Jeremiah reached out to tell Ebed-Melek what the Lord had told him:
“Go and tell Ebed-Melek the Cushite, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words against this city—words concerning disaster, not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes. But I will rescue you on that day, declares the LORD; you will not be given into the hands of those you fear. I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the LORD.’”
- Jeremiah 39:16-18
God says to you "I will save you." How do you respond?
