This is a prophecy related to Israel during the time of the Babylonian captivity:
The Great Eagle- the King of Babylon
The Crown of Cedar- King Jehoikim who was taken captive during the first wave
The Seed- Zedekiah made governor over Judah
Bending her roots- rebelled vs 15
The second Eagle- The King of Egypt
Withering- vs 16-17 die in Babylon 2 Kings 25:7 “And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.”
The Application
Pursuing shortcuts to God’s plan- sometimes we are just looking to improve our situation. We want greener grass.
