The last few kings of Judah. All did what the LORD said was wrong and the people bore the consequences for the decisions made. Nebuchadnezzar marched against Judah with his whole army and captured King Zedekiah. Where? In the plains of Jericho. How ironic. Their final defeat was at the same spot where hundreds of years before they had their miraculous first victory. It was the choices made during those in-between years that caused their downfall.
Oh, what a difference their outcome would have been if they would have chosen to obey the teachings God gave to Moses.
God freed the Israelites from Egypt. But now, because of their choices, they are captive to the Babylonians and are much worse off than before. The New Testament says it would be better to have never known Christ as Savior then to know Him and turn away from Him.
Choices. It is up to you and me. What are you going to choose? I choose to follow God. I choose to keep His commands.
No matter what.
