In this episode we are looking at 2 Chronicles 36:14-23 which highlights themes of sin, judgment, redemption, and restoration, showcasing God's enduring love and faithfulness to His people even in the face of disobedience.

We first see the consequences of sin - the persistence of idolatry (despite persistent divine warnings) leads to the fall of Judah, the destruction of the temple, and exile into Babylonian captivity.

However, even amidst God divine wrath and just judgment, His patience and mercy is apparent. The people are not completely destroyed , instead a remnant of the people is preserved.

The passage concludes with hope for repentance and renewal as it describes the renewal of the covenant, return to Jerusalem and rebuilding of the temple.. The fulfilment of prophecies also demonstrate God's faithfulness as well as His sovereignty over earthly rulers like Cyrus the Great, who plays a pivotal role in the restoration of the exiled Jews.
