2 Kings 21:21

Join us in praying for peace in our hearts and our nation with this 7-day reading plan featuring prayers from The One Year Pray for America Bible.

In the beginning was the Word … but what came next? This plan is for anyone who wants a better understanding of the Bible. It provides a chronological reading program that endeavors to place all biblical passages in their date order. Part Seven of this twelve-part one-year reading plan is titled ‘Israel’s Exile, Judah’s Further Decline: 730 BC–615 BC’.

A daily Bible reading plan with four passages in four categories: Old Testament History, Old Testament Poetry/Prophecy, New Testament Narrative, and New Testament Epistle. Created by Indian Hills Community Church.

What began as a victorious return to the land in Joshua ends in destruction, defeat, and exile in 2 Kings. The idolatry and sinfulness of Israel and Judah lead to their expulsion from the land - a final ignominy in a long history of unfaithfulness. Yet even in exile, God was preserving his people and the line of David for a future coming King, whose reign would know no end.
