BABYLON DESTROYS JERUSALEM

Once upon a time, there was a great city called Jerusalem. It was the capital of the kingdom of Judah and was home to the Temple, a sacred place where Jews came to worship their God.

However, Jerusalem was not at peace. It was constantly threatened by the powerful empire of Babylon, which sought to conquer the city and bring it under its control.

Despite the warnings of their prophets, the people of Jerusalem refused to repent and turn away from their wicked ways. They continued to engage in idolatry and other sins, which angered God.

As a result, God allowed the Babylonian army to invade Jerusalem and destroy the city. The Babylonians burned down the Temple, looted the city, and took many of its inhabitants into exile.

The prophet Jeremiah witnessed the destruction of Jerusalem and wrote about it in his book, Lamentations. He described the scene of the once-great city in ruins, its walls broken down, and its people scattered.

The destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon was a tragic event that marked the end of the kingdom of Judah and the exile of its people. It served as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience to God and the importance of repentance and obedience.
