31 When Jehoiachin king of Judah had been in exile for thirty-seven years, Evil-Merodach became king in Babylon and let Jehoiachin out of prison. This release took place on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month. 32 The king treated him most courteously and gave him preferential treatment beyond anything experienced by the political prisoners held in Babylon. 33 Jehoiachin took off his prison garb and from then on ate his meals in company with the king. 34 The king provided everything he needed to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

See this history of king Jehoiachin in 2 Kings 25:27-30. Those under oppression will find it is not in vain for them to hope and quietly to wait for the salvation of the Lord. Our times are in God's hand, for the hearts of all we have to deal with are so. May we be enabled, more and more, to rest on the Rock of Ages, and to look forward with holy faith to that hour, when the Lord will bring again Zion, and overthrow all the enemies of the church.
