Jeremiah 26-29 (reading for Monday August 19, 2019)

Jeremiah 27:2 
Thus the Lord said to me: "Make yourself straps and yoke-bars, and put them on your neck
Jeremiah 27:8-9
'"But if any nation or kingdom will not serve this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, declares the Lord, until I have consumed it by his hand.  So do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your fortune-tellers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon.'

Why does God order his people to serve under a pagan leader?
