Listen "2 Chronicles 36: Vassals, yet Faithful | ☧ Remains in Judah's Fall"
Episode Synopsis
Rev. David Boisclair, pastor of Faith and Bethesda Lutheran Churches in North St. Louis County, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study 2 Chronicles 34 and 36:1-6.
“[Zedekiah] also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God.” Ever since Ahaz, the kings of Judah were in a difficult position: they had sworn allegiance to foreign powers as vassals, but God had prohibited such corrupting alliances. And yet, God tells Judah to serve out their terms of servitude in repentance.
Young King Josiah heeds the words of Zephaniah to be faithful with what he’s been given, not unlike young Mary centuries later when faced with the news from Gabriel. The unconquerable Jesus Christ rules over His church today with life and forgiveness, always granting His church ways to be faithful—no matter who is in power among mortals.
