The Exodus in Reverse and the Judah Promise
A reflective essay uses the fall of Jerusalem and Judah’s exile as a foil to explore modern faith. It contrasts Jeremiah’s warnings with a people’s vow to follow God, then asks how to discern and act on God’s will today. The piece cites biblical figures, urges humility, and cautions against broken vows in prayer.
