Jeremiah ch.21 - Life or Death?

Suddenly the book of Jeremiah lurches forward twenty years or so, to the final months of the kingdom. King Zidkiyahu asks Jeremiah to beseech God for a miracle. But Jeremiah has bad news. The only recourse is surrender. Resisting the enemy will bring death, hunger and epidemic. The die has been cast. There is not possibility of Teshuva any longer.
