God Declares 70 Years of Captivity in Babylon | Day 216

Day 212 | 2 Chronicles 36:1-4; 2 Kings 23:31-37; 2 Chronicles 36:5; Jeremiah 22:1-23; Jeremiah 26:1-24; 2 Kings 24:1-4; Jeremiah 25:1-14In today’s reading, we witness the unraveling of Judah as King Jehoiakim rejects God’s word through Jeremiah. Despite repeated warnings, Jehoiakim's rebellion leads to personal anguish, a crumbling palace, and national ruin. God declares that Babylon will conquer the land, and His judgment is certain. Meanwhile, Jeremiah—though faithful—is nearly killed for speaking the truth. It’s only the bold intervention of wise elders that saves his life. This episode is a sobering reminder: resisting God leads to ruin, but speaking truth—no matter the cost—can change the course for others. Will we be the ones to stand up and speak out?Hosts: Noah Sidhom, Cory O'HaraVisit bellevue.org/bible for more resources and to download our reading plan.#ChronologicalBibleJourney #ChronologicalBible #BellevueBaptistChurch
