#155: 2 Kings 21-25 | The fall of Jerusalem

In this episode, God plans to bring so much evil on Jerusalem and Judah that it will make people's ears tingle. He says that he'll wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. This was all because King Manasseh was so darned wicked. But when Josiah became king of Judah, God went easy on him since he tore his clothes and his heart was tender. He also pleased God by killing the priests and destroying the houses of the sodomites. And yet, God still sent Nebuchadnezzar to destroy Judah for the sins of Manasseh. So during Zedekiah's reign, the Babylonians invaded and killed Zedekiah's sons in front of him, poked out his eyes, and carried him to Babylon. The text and notes for this episode can be found here.
