God’s judgment on Israel had begun during the reign of King Solomon. Solomon was wise, but he wasn’t moral. He knew about God, but did not obey Him. Solomon had introduced pagan worship into Israel, and the kingdom had split into two. The larger nation of Israel seems to have gone further away from the worship of God, even though God was faithful to send His prophets to warn them to come back to Him. Israel could amass large armies and chariot forces, but she was not faithful to the covenant she had with God. In our reading today, it is the sixth year of King Hezekiah of Judah, and he will have to watch Northern Israel fall to Assyria. The covenant with God was broken, His protection was gone, and His judgment had arrived.
How similar are we today? So often we have leaders who have wisdom without morality. God requires us to be moral. Obedience to Him comes before becoming a truly great leader.
We are a family-run international ministry with television, print and online programs designed to guide you through the Bible in one year.
From social issues and apologetics to theology, history and science, our mission is to educate, edify and encourage the believer to actively engage with God’s Word in all ways.
