II Kings Chapter 25 (Last Chapter) Cannot Be Clearer That Disobedience Yields Punishment From G-d Through His Evil Agents

A Very Sad Ending

As how the book of Kings (Melachim in Hebrew) starts in glory, its ending is the opposite.

The Temple is burned. The People are exiled.

But why?

Disobedience to the Commandments of the One True G-d.

Reading this book/s alone parallel to the Greek book – New Testament will without a doubt expose falsehood from the teachings of the Greek book!

4 The city was broken into, and all the men of war [fled] at night by way of the gate between the two walls that was near the king’s garden, and the Chaldees were surrounding the city, and he went by way of the Arabah.
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued the king, and they overtook him on the plains of Jericho, and all his army had scattered and deserted him.
6 And they seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylonia, to Riblah, and called him to account.
7 And they slaughtered Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, and they blinded Zedekiah’s eyes, and he bound him with copper chains and brought him to Babylon.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month (that was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylonia) Nebuzaradan, chief executioner, servant of the king of Babylonia, came to Jerusalem.
9 And he burnt the house of the Lord and the king’s palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem and all the houses of the dignitaries he burnt with fire.
10 The entire army of the Chaldeans that was [with] the chief executioner demolished the walls of Jerusalem around.
11 And Nebuzaradan the chief executioner exiled the remnant of the people who remained in the city, and the defectors who defected to the king of Babylonia, and the rest of the populace.
12 Now the chief executioner left over some of the poorest of the land as vine-dressers and farmers.
13 And the Chaldeans broke the copper pillars that were in the house of the Lord and the bases and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, and they carried off their copper to Babylon.
14 And they took the pots and the shovels and the musical instruments and the spoons and all the copper vessels with which they served.
15 And the chief executioner took the censers and the basins, both of gold and of silver.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: there was no weight for the copper of all these vessels.
17 The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits and there was a capital of copper upon it, and the height of the capital was three cubits, and a net and pomegranates on the capital around, all was copper. And such did the second pillar have on the net.

20 And Nebuzaradan the chief executioner took them and brought them to the king of Babylonia, to Riblah.
21 And the king of Babylonia struck them down and killed them in Riblah in the land of Hamath, and Judah went in to exile off its land.
22 And [as for] the people who remained in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylonia had left over, he appointed over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan.
23 And all the officers of the armies, they and the men, heard that the king of Babylonia had appointed Gedaliah, and they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and Johanan the son of Kareach and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maachathite, they and their men.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, “Fear not the servants of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylonia, and it will go well with you.”
25 And it was in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama of the royal descent, came with ten men with him, and they struck down Gedaliah and he died, and the Judeans and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 And all the people, young and old, and the officers of the armies, got up and came to Egypt, because they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 And it was in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evil-merodach, king of Babylonia, in the year of his coronation, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, king of Judah and released him from prison.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
