Transcription: But beyond the human tragedy, a different kind of distress gnawed at the author. Babylonian soldiers had entered the temple, pagans in the most holy place, looted it, then burned it to the ground. The dream of the covenant died on that day. Historians record that as the Babylonians entered the temple, they swept the empty air with their spears, seeking the unseen Jewish God, but they found nothing. God had given up. He had fled the premises.
