Wrap-Up

Living during a superpower transition posed a life and death challenge to everyone in Judah. When a prophet tells you that “the locusts are coming,” you’ve got to wonder where you can hide—and whom you might trust.

In the next lesson we’ll step back for a big-picture view of prophecy and how we should interpret it.
