THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 65: The Kings of Judah
(Zedekiah) |
|
The last days of the Kingdom of Judah is a sad
chapter in the history of the twelve tribes of Israel and serves as
a warning that God is love, but He will also impute judgment when
necessary. Zedekiah’s reign was marked by a Kabbalistic conspiracy
by the political leadership. Jeremiah was given prophecies about the
southern kingdom’s destruction and a second exodus to Babylon.
Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah privately and implored the prophet to
tell him the truth. This was ironic given the Kabbalah’s penchant
for lies! Nevertheless, Jesus gave Zedekiah an opportunity to avoid
bloodshed, but fear caused him to make a fatal choice. Zedekiah was
afraid of the Jews that had been previously been captured by the
Babylonians and this is why he rejected God’s offer to save himself
and the nation. The folly did not end there as Zedekiah ordered
Jeremiah not to disclose the life-saving information he had shared
with the king and for some reason the prophet went along with the
request. |
