The cities of Judah pillaged. The temple in ruins. The promised, eternal royal line of David broken. 

We hope you’ve begun to absorb the gravity of this moment in Judah’s history. Even comprehensive revival didn’t cancel the sentence of judgment that became more certain with Manasseh’s great evils. 

Although the timing for God’s judgment on Judah was somewhat flexible, the fact of judgment was inevitable. We added the word “reluctance” between human rebellion and divine reckoning. God’s reluctance is His mercy. But mercy has limits in the face of evil.

The good news is that there will be more mercy for God’s people, even in exile. Before we get to that we want to explore further the unique accounts in the books of Chronicles.
