126 | Drought and widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17)
from Holy Lit: The Bible · host Allen
Picture this: It's around 860 BCE in the northern kingdom of Israel. We're about three hundred years after King David's golden age, and things have gone seriously downhill. That united kingdom David built? Long gone. It split into two—Israel in the north, Judah in the south. And the northern kingdom is in rough shape. Politically, it's a mess. Spiritually? Even worse. The royal family has decided that mixing religions is smart diplomacy. Spoiler alert: it's about to blow up in their faces.Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C3peRlMhl4ZUviDUztRBQpRVr9mOufNF/view?usp=sharing
