2 Kings 15 | The Rise and Fall of Kings: Brief Reigns, Lasting Lessons
Published 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
In 2 Kings 15, we witness a rapid succession of kings in both Judah and Israel. Some reigns are long but spiritually compromised, others are brief and violent. This chapter reminds us that political stability and military strength cannot replace covenant faithfulness to the Lord. Azariah's long reign marred by pride and leprosy Zechariah, Shallum, and Pekahiah's short and violent rules Menahem's compromise with Assyria Pekah's idolatry and Israel's loss of land Jotham's partial reforms in Judah Through it all, God's Word is fulfilled, and His sovereignty stands above earthly instability. Earthly kings rise and fall, but Christ reigns forever. For more from Reading the Bible Daily with Dave: https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/
