2 Kings 17 - 18

2 KingsSteve Gregg
In this presentation, Steve Gregg discusses the events detailed in 2 Kings 17-18. He begins by touching upon the downfall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel and their worship of the god Molech. Gregg highlights that Israel had turned away from Yahweh God and built high places and watchtowers for themselves, ultimately rejecting the statutes and covenant made by their fathers. Lastly, the speaker delves into the story of Judah's kingdom and how the decisions made by their kings were not necessarily directed by God's hand as some may interpret.
