Jeremiah 52:31-34
31 ... king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison. 32 And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a more prominent seat than those of the kings who were with him in Babylon. 33 So Jehoiachin changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread regularly before the king all the days of his life. 34 And as for his provisions, there was a regular ration given him by the king of Babylon, a portion for each day until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

The king of Babylon had mercy on the king of Judah and set him free from prison, lifting him up from a humble cell, and gave him a place to sit and dine with the king. In so much better way we are set free from the bondage of sin and brought before the King of Glory to dine with Him forever (Rev.3:20). As children of the Most High King, we have an inheritance as well as His presence from now and past the defeated death that imprisoned us before. We are free and have more than we could ever ask for!
