Context — The Yoke of Nebuchadnezzar
18If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.
19For this is what the LORD of Hosts says about the pillars, the sea, the bases, and the rest of the articles that remain in this city,
20which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
21Yes, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem: 22‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’”Cross References

Jeremiah 27:20 Summary
Jeremiah 27:20 is talking about a time when the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, took many of the leaders and important people from Jerusalem to Babylon. This was a difficult time for the people of Jerusalem, but it was also part of God's plan, as seen in Jeremiah 25:9 and Daniel 2:37-38. Just like the people of Jerusalem had to trust God during this hard time, we can trust God with our own lives, even when things seem scary or uncertain, because He has a plan to prosper us and give us hope, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11. By looking at this verse, we can see that God is in control of all things, and we can have peace knowing that He is working everything out for our good.
