March 19, 2025, 2 Kings 17:17-23

19 Judah also did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced. 20 And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them and gave them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

21 When he had torn Israel from the house of David, they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord and made them commit great sin. 22 The people of Israel walked in all the sins that Jeroboam did. They did not depart from them, 23 until the Lord removed Israel out of his sight, as he had spoken by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was exiled from their own land to Assyria until this day.

Why would God eventually remove his people from their land and ultimately from His sight? I do not have an answer to that question but I know how incredibly sad I would be if God removed me from His sight. My hope would be gone and I would have nothing to live for. How would you feel about such a removal from God?
