I know the history of Israel and Judah. The northern kingdom worshipped false gods. The holy ones of the north went to the southern kingdom of Judah to worship the One True God of their fathers. The northern kingdom of Israel (10 tribes) was wiped out by the Assyrians.
Judah was invaded later because one king, Manasseh, legalized child sacrifice. HE REPENTED and tore down the altars after spending time in jail (he was released) in Babylon. His grandson (Josiah) would lead Judah into a great revival.
2 kings later, child sacrifice again practiced by the king, and the invasion was completed. Everyone taken to Babylon or killed. The remnant in Babylon returned to Judah after 70 years. God wins. God always wins. The Messiah is from the tribe of Judah, a son of David.
HOWEVER…Why the invasion?
“However, the LORD did not turn from the fierceness of His great wrath with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him. And the LORD said, “I will remove Judah also from My sight, as I have removed Israel. And I will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the temple (house) of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”
“Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.” (All caps mine) 2 Kings 23:26 & 27 and 24:3 & 4
THE REVIVAL WAS A REPRIEVE. One reprieve. God always wins. His plan of salvation for His children cannot fail because HE cannot fail.
What form of unforgivable child sacrifice is legal in America? In the world? In how many nations is it not legal? Did you know there is a revival going on in Africa, Asia, and Latin America?
Have faith in Who God is. He cannot fail. He is our righteousness.
