2 Kings 24-25: Judah Follows Israel Into Captivity

Susan Merrill & Heather Rubio Season 12 Episode 14

After centuries of rebellion, Judah is dramatically removed from God's presence in 2 Kings 24 and 2 Kings 25. Yet, as so often happens with God, there's a plot twist at the end.

Themes of this podcast episode: 

The dangers of ignoring God’s Word. Judah’s downfall was rooted in their failure to obey and honor God. When they neglected His presence, destruction followed. In our own lives, when we drift from God’s Word and guidance, we risk spiritual decline. Staying rooted in His truth protects and strengthens us.

Our choices have consequences, but God’s mercy endures. Judah’s downfall didn't start with King Jehoiakim in 2 Kings 24. It was the result of repeated rebellion and bad leadership over centuries. Yet, even as the nation collapses in 2 Kings 25, God still preserves a remnant. While our choices carry real consequences, God’s mercy is always available, offering us a way back to Him.

God’s sovereign plan prevails. Even in exile, God ensures the Davidic line continues through King Jehoiachin, leading to Jesus—the true King. His plan cannot be thwarted, no matter how bleak the circumstances. God is always working, even in our darkest moments, to bring about His perfect will.

🎧 Listen now to see how God’s faithfulness shines through even in judgment.
