—2 Kings 24:20b-25:7
by: Gem Barton.
All the words of God that the prophet Jeremiah had spoken about Judah being taken into captivity and famine and destruction in Jerusalem came to pass. King Zedekiah was captured and taken away. Even at the end, he did not take heed to the warnings God sent him through Jeremiah. Leadership has always been held accountable and is still held accountable today. In Mathew 18:6, Jesus warned of the punishment that will be met out to leaders who cause the children of God to go astray. When called to lead, we must prayerfully guide God’s children in the ways that please Him.
