Thanks!

 

Thank you to all who helped yesterday (and perhaps other days) for our workday to spruce up the church for Homecoming Sunday!

 

 

Bible Reading

 

Day	Reading	Info
Monday	2 Kings 11-13	The reigns of Athaliah, Johoash, and Jehoahaz
Tuesday	2 Kings 14-16	The reigns of Amaziah, Jeroboam II, Azariah, Zechariah (not the prophet), and many more.
Wednesday	2 Kings 17-18	Hoshea's reign and the Northern Kingdom taken captive by the Assyrians (they will never come back). Also the Southern Kingdom's problems with Sennacharib.
Thursday	2 Kings 19-21	Confrontation between Sennecharib, Isaiah, and Hezekiah. Also Manasseh and Amon's evil reigns
Friday	2 Kings 22-24	Joash's godly reign, restoring religious worship, amd his successors
Saturday	2 Kings 25- 1 Chron 1	The Southern Kingdom is taken captive by Babylonians. 1 Chronicles details the geneology from Adam to Abraham

 

Interesting notes:

·         In 2 Kings 11:21, Jehoash's mom and the high priest probably ruled in his stead due to his age.

·         The reason for 2 Kings 12:19-21 is found in 2 Chronicles 24.

·         Many of the prophets began writing during Jeroboam II's reign (2 Kings 14:23ff). These include Hosea, Amos, Jonah, Micah, and Isaiah.

·         2 Kings 17:16 – they worshipped the sun, moon, and stars.

he was a decided minority,
but he won (with God)!
