From doing this project we actually learned a lot of new things. Like the potential of Israel. Or how many times God had to constantly go through and remind Israel again and again what was good and bad
The message i got from this is forgiveness, Gods a really forgiving God. But, he does know
what to do when we mess up. You just gotta trust in his plan and get back up.
Thanks for listening, hopefully you guys got something out of this also.
Right now, all of you probably think " The Israelites were stupid, if only they followed what God said."
But, do you really know for sure if you wouldn't fall into sin also? I mean if the majority of the people fell under, I honestly think I might have too.
I'm so glad I live in the time I do now, even if
right now things aren't as perfect as they could have been. I find myself so lucky to be exposed to God openly and at a early age.
The Prophets promised the Israelites good and bad things that would happen if they obeyed or disobeyed the Lord.
The blessings of health- Feebleness and disease would fully disappear. Exodus 15:26; Deuteronomy 7:13, 15.
Superior intellect- following the laws of body and mind would result in ever-increasing mental strength, and the people of Israel would be blessed with intellect, keen discrimination, and sound judgment. They were to be far in advance of other nations in wisdom and understanding. They were to become a nation of intellectual geniuses.
The sixteen prophets (Isaiah to Malachi) whose writings have traveled to us for four centuries, from about 800 to 400 B.C. Most of them left chronological data which the time of their ministry can be approximately determined.
God had to send many prophets because Israel
kept disobeying over and over again (sin cycle)
God really provided Israel with everything, it says He did everything He could, it was Israel unwillingness to listen that set them back so far.
Again and again He had warned His people that captivity would be the result of disobedience, He told them that He would progressively diminish their strength and honor as a nation until they should all be carried away into captivity (Deuteronomy 28:15-68; 2 Chronicles 36:16, 17).
The prophets spoke for God to His people. They functioned to call Israel back to God, which meant a call back to faithfulness to their Covenant relationship with God
"Nebukchadnezzar the king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and encamped against it; and they built a siege wall against it all around"
The Prophets enforced God's covenant relationship between God and His people. This covenant contained not only the rules which they were to keep, but it describes the sorts of punishments that God will necessarily apply to His people if they do not keep the Law, as well as the benefits He will impart to them if they are faithful. The Israelites knew what was gonna happen as a consequence, but they followed that path anyways
Judah is captured and the babylonians plundered the city, taking all their valuables. But, all of this is Gods judgment.
"And the Lord raised up judges and they saved them [the Israelites] from the hands of those who had spoiled them. "(Judges 2:16)
2 Kings 24:20 "For because of the anger of the LORD this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, that He finally cast them out from His presence"
It takes sometime for this situation to improve. What happens is, the next king of Babylon takes Jehoiachin the king of israel from prison and gives him a better position in prison, and he was treated nicely.
This describes the kindness and blessings given in the worst situations.
Judah was still in pretty bad shape, depopulated, exiled, and their king was still imprisoned.
This was a small change, but you can still see that Gods not done saving His people.
The Israelites became pretty a bad representation of God's people sometimes.
They would wander in faith, worship idols, violence. They were becoming just like the nations around them
When Israel was threatened by Syria and they
turned to Assyria for help not God, God took
the wicked things the Assyrians did to Israel
as a correctional stick. Like how shepherds use
staffs to herd sheep.
God let Israel get captured by their enemies. He let them experience the consequences
Israel would follow the Lord when there was a Judge who would remind them of what they should do. But, once that person dies, Israel goes back following other gods and doing there own stuff.
Judges 2:18-19 "Whenever the Lord raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived. But when the judge died, the people retured to ways even more corrupt than those of their fathers."
I find this part of the cycle kinda funny. Basically because the israelites were being bad and God put them in time-out. (God letting the surrounding nations capture israel.)
Once Israel realizes how bad they were,
now they want God to save them.
Of course God does because He's a great guy.
God then raises up a judge to bring back up Israel.
