PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CHURCH AND NATION:
Plead Grace, Mercy, and Salvation, over your children and grandchildren (2Ki 24:8-16). #PrayForYourChildren
MORNING WATCH NOTES:
Following the demise of Judah’s king, Jehoiakim, his son, Jehoiachin (Josiah‘s grandson) was installed as King. But he too did evil in the sight of God, just as his father. God’s plan of judgment was now in play. Jehoiachin reigned for 90 days over a failing dynasty, before Nebuchadnezzar‘s Babylonian armies, rolled over Jerusalem as prophesied (Jer 22:24-30).
Seven thousand elite soldiers and one thousand elite craftsman were taken prisoner and deported to Babylon. All the wealth and treasures of Jerusalem and Solomon’s Temple were taken as booty (Isaiah prophesied this to King Hezakiah, Josiah’s great grandfather – Isa 39:1-8). Jehoiachin never returned home. He died in exile. Lord, I understand that a godly heritage is no guarantee of godly children.
More to follow.
