2 Kings 25:1-25:30
Oh Weeping. when will Jerusalem listen to the Lord and to His prophets? Why must we continue to do what is evil in his sight? Look at the hardships this brings on the people. what will be the outcome of this captivity? Israel-Judah scattered and killed. The people and the king in exile.
How then can Israel be a light to the nations? That is our call, and how can we do it when all around us is death and darkness? What does this mean that Jehoiachin is released from prison and put off his prison garments? Is he to be kept as a pet? This sounds more like house arrest than freedom. To be given an allowance and to dine with the king; this is not to be king or to live as one of the chosen people of God.
Do I look for comfort when I should look to be a witness? Do I follow the Lord's commands?
This is what I will ponder today.
See you tomorrow.
