130 | Ahaziah and Elijah's departure (2 Kings 1-2)
from Holy Lit: The Bible · host Allen
It's the mid-9th century BCE in ancient Israel, and the nation is absolutely torn apart by a spiritual crisis. The royal family—we're talking about the infamous dynasty of Ahab and Jezebel—has been pushing Baal worship for decades. Meanwhile, prophets like Elijah are fighting tooth and nail to keep the people loyal to Yahweh, Israel's God. And here's the thing that makes this period so intense: politics and religion aren't separate. They're completely tangled together. Your choice of god could determine whether you lived or died. Sound dramatic? Well, that's exactly where we're headed.Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/16lbWOAIfbnfboBAyvoaF-Y1e80IVfAzd/view?usp=sharing
