Today is the 16th day of October.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

I am Brian here in the Rolling hills of Tennessee.

And it is fantastic to be with you, here around the global campfire,

wherever you may find yourself on this beautiful gift of a planet that we live on.

I hope and trust that all is well with you and with your spirit today.

Regardless of what's going on, we have this safe place here on the global campfire

gets created every day as we show up for each other,

so I'm glad that we can be here in this safe place,

allowing the scriptures to speak into our lives. Today we're going to encounter

what has been, what has become perhaps the most famous

verse in the Bible these days maybe second only to John 316.

And so as we encounter that, because we mostly only ever hear this verse,

as we encounter it in its context.

Let's enjoy where this story is taking us.

Today, Jeremiah, Chapter 28 and 29. And that same year at the beginning of the reign of King Zadakaya of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year,

the Prophet Hananaia, son of Azur, from Gibian, said to me in the temple of the Lord in the presence of the priests and all the people.

This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says

I have broken the yoke of the King of Babylon. Within two years I will

restore to this place all the articles of the Lord's Temple that King Nebuchadnezzar of

Babylon took from here and transported to Babylon. And I will restore to this place

Jakunaya son of Jehoiakin, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon.
