About this episode
Israel’s northern kingdom had 200 years to repent, but they ignored God’s warnings. Their tragic fall to Assyria in 2 Kings 17 was the result of centuries of idolatry and rebellion. Yet, even in judgment, God’s grace remained. In this episode, Stephen Davey unpacks the lessons from Israel’s downfall—lessons about obedience, repentance, and what happens when people try to use God rather than follow Him. Discover how history’s darkest moments still reveal God’s mercy and faithfulness.
