The Story of Man - Tyrannized by Babylon - Basil Wolverton - August 1971

Basil Wolverton

There was loud cheering when the Babylonians released King Jehoiakim and allowed him to re-enter Jerusalem. It would have been much louder and more enthusiastic if Jehoiakim had been more popular with his subjects and his soldiers, many of whom didn't have much respect or admiration for him. Right away he called together his officers and advisers. They all congratulated him on his return, but few of them appeared overjoyed. Nor did they show much enthusiasm when he told them of his problem. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
