They Destroyed Jerusalem!

«But they mocked the messengers of God.» 2 Chronicles 36:16

The city of Jerusalem brought great pride to the people and the king. It had the beautiful temple built by Solomon. They thought they were important because God had chosen them as a special nation.

But as a special nation they had to be obedient and to speak of God to the other nations to continue receiving God’s blessings.

Several kings and the people disobeyed God and became idol worshipers.

Many, many times, God sent messengers and prophets to warn them, but they laughed at these men.

God could not continue to allow them to disobey Him like this. Because of that, He allowed the enemies to invade Jerusalem. It was a sad situation! The city and the temple were burned. And everything was destroyed!

Let’s practice!

The result of disobedience is suffering. Ask God to help you learn the important lesson of obedience.
