Divine Economy Through History - Orthodox (Jeremiah 29:11)

Orthodox theology speaks of divine "economy"—God's providential plan working through all of history. The Babylonian exile was part of this economy: preparation for Christ, purification of Israel, scattering that would later receive the gospel. Icons of the prophet Jeremiah show him pointing toward Christ—he saw the plan's trajectory. Jeremiah 29:11 isn't just about individual destiny but cosmic salvation history. Your life participates in a plan spanning ages. Trust the divine economy.
