2 Chronicles 31-36: We've Done It To Ourselves

About this episode

This episode discusses the spiritual decline of Judah leading to exile and highlights God's enduring mercy and promise of restoration.

“We’ve Done It to Ourselves” highlights the spiritual highs and lows of Judah’s final years before exile. Hezekiah brought revival, but later kings, including his son Manasseh, fell into idolatry and sin before repenting. Josiah restored worship and rediscovered the Law, yet Judah’s disobedience led to captivity under Babylon. God sent prophets to warn them, but they refused to listen, choosing rebellion instead. The book ends with a message of hope: God’s promise is fulfilled when Cyrus, a Persian king, decrees the Jews’ return to rebuild the temple. This episode shows that even in human failure, God’s plans remain and His mercy continues.
