2 Kings 24:1-25:30 & 1 Peter 2:11-25 by Rev. Peter Evans

Exile, Separated From God: Study 06 in the series "Three Trees: The story of the whole Bible" in 10 studies.
God seems to have abandoned Israel. He’s had a gutful of their disobedience. In the story so far, we have seen that God is nothing but faithful to an unfaithful people. The descendants of Abraham and David who were promised that they would forever be ‘God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule’ now find themselves feeling abandoned, alone and in exile.
King after king ‘did evil in the eyes of the Lord’. God has simply had enough of Israel. But even though Israel seems abandoned, in a foreign land under a foreign king, they are not without hope.
