[34] 25b; 26a - Sent into Exile Interlocked

We conclude Lesson 25 at 36:26. Then we continue with Lesson 26: Sent into Exile. Despite God’s faithful love and care for His people, both Israel and Judah rebelled and became paganised. So Yahweh started the fifth and final stage of discipline that He promised under the Sinaitic Covenant: exile. Also at this time, God handed political power of the world over to the Gentiles. He first exiled the northern kingdom of Israel to Assyria and then the southern kingdom of Judah to Babylon. Yahweh also gave the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, a vision of a statue of a man that represented five pagan kingdoms because God wanted to make it clear that He was still directing history, now through Gentile kingdoms.
