24.07 The Wicked King Ahaz (Part 3)

In this third episode in the Smith's series on the Wicked King Ahaz, Craig and LaDonna continue going over the 20 verses in 2 Kings 16 that speak of the life and times of King Ahaz.  They begin to summarize what the Scriptures are saying about Ahaz' life and reign, and end up taking their listeners down several trails of truth that show how these verses apply to our current times and current events.  Even the wise old King Solomon, while showing off that wisdom in many cases, proves the point that even the wisest among us can demonstrate rather stupid and less than wise decisions and choices because of the unholy alliances he entered into when he included bringing brides from the pagan nations around into his harem.  They led him and God's people to embrace the pagan practices from their nations, causing further decline among God's chosen and covenant people.  And while God had to always punish the compromises of a King and his people, Craig and LaDonna remind us all about the amazing grace of God to all mankind through the finished work of Christ on Calvary's cross.  Great news for back then, and great news for all nations today!
