How did Israel, a nation born in such promise come to such an ignoble end? The walls of it's beautiful capital, Jerusalem are torn down, and all the survivors are carried away. There is no other nation that can or will help them. They are utterly destroyed.
" 'Because you did not remember the days of your youth but enraged me with all these things, I will surely bring down on your head what you have done, declares the Sovereign LORD. Did you not add lewdness to all your other detestable practices? - Eze. 16:43
As one of their earlier kings said, there is a time for everything, and a season for ever activity under heaven:...a time to tear down and a time to build. It is time for God to tear down, the city that was built, not by human hands but by God, the city and people that he lavished so much love and favor on, the city whose people forgot their source.
