This week’s (Apr 14th, 2024) Bible Study is: II Chronicles 36:1-7—(Click here).
1A0II CHRONICLES CHAPTER 36
Welcome to the end of sixth century B.C., the year is 500B.C., and we find Father had divided the Nation of the House of Israel into two separate Nations—the House of Israel and the House of Judah—380 years ago, and one of those Nations no longer being in existence: The Nation of the House of Israel which had consisted of ten Tribes—Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim and half the Tribe of Manasseh—and occupied the Northern territories—which are now in the hands of the Assyrians and no longer Israelite territory—but because of their ungodliness, had been into captivity by the Assyrians. The siege of the People of the House of Israel had taken place 113 years before this Chapter—613B.C.—and 2 then years after the siege began, they were taken into captivity by the Assyrians. At some point, the People of Israel had had enough of their Assyrian captors and many of them escaped the Assyrians by fleeing up over the Caucasus Mountains; so now we are down to one Nation: the House of Judah which comprises two Tribes—Judah and Benjamin—and occupying the southern territories. At present, the House of Judah has as it’s king, king Josiah, who is in the eighteenth year of his reign and rule over the Nation. As we are reading in the The Books of the Chronicles—(click here)—we are reading things in the Esoteric, meaning, we are reading things from Father’s point of view or perspective, or in other words, events viewed from the Divine standpoint, and as seen and understood by the spiritual mind, to take that further, you could say, from the moral aspect, and you could go even further and say, for those with the “eyes to see.” The reason Father split the Nation into two separate Nations was because of the actions of Israel’s third man-king, David’s son, Solomon—as can be read in I Kings 11:1-11—(click here)—taking unto himself many foreign wives, served their false gods and idols, built altars for those false gods and idols on Father’s Holy mountain, turned his back on Father, which angered Father and caused Father to tell him that He was splitting the Nation into two separate Nations, but not until Solomon returned Home to Him and his son Rehoboam took over the reign and rule of the Nation.
II Chronicles 35—(click here)—brought us king Josiah conducting and holding one of the grandest Passovers in all the House of Israel’s history, we read in II Chronicles 35:18—(Click here)—the following: II Chronicles 35:18 And there was noH3808 passoverH6453 like toH3644 that keptH6213 in IsraelH3478 from the daysH4480 H3117 of SamuelH8050 the prophet;H3050 neitherH3808 didH6213 allH3605 the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 keepH6213 such a passoverH6453 asH834 JosiahH2977 kept,H6213 and the priests,H3548 and the Levites,H3881 and allH3605 JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 that were present,H4672 and the inhabitantsH3427 of Jerusalem.H3389 —> A True and Awesome statement concerning Josiah and the People he reigned and ruled over.
After holding and conducting the Passover, there is thirteen year span of time which neither II Chronicles 35:20-27—(Click here)—nor II Kings 23:25-37—(Click here)—cover; as, the next we read concerning Josiah is during the last year of his reign and rule, and the last year of his life, when Pharaoh-necho, the king of Egypt decides he wants to go up to Assyria to get some of the spoils of war from the king of Babylon who over-ran and defeated the king of Assyria. In order to do so, he tries to go through Israelite territory, Josiah gets word that he is on his boarder and confronts Necho. Necho tells Josiah that he is on a mission from Father ELOHIM; that, he is not coming against Josiah, Josiah should just leave him alone and pass through his territory and all will be alright. Josiah decide he is having none of it and goes out to stop Necho and his army to his own demise. He disguises himself as a commoner and one of Pharaoh-necho’s soldiers lets loose an arrow which hits and mortally wounds Josiah. Josiah tells one of his troops to put him in his chariot and take him back to Jerusalem where he dies and get buried with the righteous kings of Israel, which is how the Chapter closes.
This then brings us current, and we open this Chapter—the last Chapter of the wonderful Books of the Chronicles of the Kings—with Josiah’s son Jehoahaz beginning his short reign and rule over the Nation.
With that introduction being said, let’s go to Father and ask Him for His Blessings on our Study of His Word: “ Father, I come to You right now and ask that You Oh LORD Lead me and Guide me as I try and teach Your Word, don’t allow me to mis-teach or mis-lead Your Children. We, Father, also come to You as a group who desire to Learn Your Word, to thank You for inviting us to Your table in order that we might be able to partake of and receive Your Spiritual Meat, and Father, as we prepare to dine on the sustenance which sustains our inner man, we ask that You Oh LORD open our ears and eyes, that we might be able to hear and see your Truths, open our hearts and minds and prepare us in order that we may receive Your Truth. We Pray for Your Understanding of Your Word, we seek Your Knowledge in Your Word, and most importantly Father, we Pray for and desire Your Wisdom from Your Word, in Jesus’ Precious name we Pray, thank You Father, Amen.”

36:1 Jehoahaz. Accession.
1A1
II Chronicles 36:1 Then the PeopleH5971 of the landH776 tookH3947 (H853) JehoahazH3059 (YHVH-seized; and, whom YHVH sustains) (yeh-ho-aw-khawzי) the sonH1121 of Josiah,H2977 (founded of YAH; and, whom YHVH heals) (Yo-she-yawי, or Yo-she-yawי-hoo) and made him kingH4427 in his father’s steadH8478 H1 in Jerusalem.H3389 (founded peaceful; and, the habitation of peace) (Yer-oo-shaw-lahי-im) —> It’s funny; as, in making Jehoahaz king, the People by-passed Josiah’s eldest son, whose name was Eliakim, to do so. Not to worry too much though, as, Eliakim will get his chance to reign and rule the Nation.
Will Jehoahaz be a good king like his father Josiah; or, will he be more like his grandfather Amon, and be an evil king? Let’s turn to the parallel of this Chapter, to II Kings 23:32—(Click here)—and read what Father’s Word tells us there: II Kings 23:32 And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 according to allH3068 thatH834 his fathersH1 had done.H6213 —> As we read here, he was like his grandfather and great-grandfather and did only that which was evil in Father’s eyes. Remember brethren, Jehoahaz was twenty three years old, this means Josiah sired him when he was sixteen, this also means Jehoahaz lived for twenty three years watching his father do only righteousness, he never saw the evilness his grandfather Amon had committed. So, why he chose to do evil, only he knows.

36:2 Jehoahaz. Accession.
1A2
II Chronicles 36:2 JehoahazH3059 was twentyH6242 and threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reign,H4427 and he reignedH4427 threeH7969 monthsH2320 in Jerusalem.H3389 —> Jehoahaz was a fairly young man when the People set him as king, remember, his father Josiah was eight, so that makes him fifteen years older than his father. We read in II Kings 23:31—(Click here)—that his mother’s name was Hamutal, who was the daughter of a man named Jeremiah, who was from Libnah, which was one of the Priest Sanctuary cities, which we can then assume he was a Levite, and possibly a Priest as well.
…he reigned three months…=Not a long time to rule and reign at all brethren. Think Father was with him? Think he lived up to his name — “whom YHVH sustains” as we read from Dr. Smith’s Bible Dictionary, or from Daniel Jones’ Dictionary of Old Testament proper names “Whom the LORD holds fast?” Why didn’t he rule longer? Let’s continue reading and find out.
36:3 King of Egypt puts
him down.
1A3
II Chronicles 36:3 And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 (land of the copts; and, land of the copts) (mits-rahי-yim) put him downH5493 at Jerusalem,H3389 and condemnedH6064 (H853) the landH776 in an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 and a talentH3603 of gold.H2091 —> Let’a again return to II Kings 23—(Click here)—and read what Father’s Word tells us happened: II Kings 23:33 And Pharaoh-nechohH6549 put him in bandsH631 at RiblahH7247 in the landH776 of Hamath,H2574 that he might not reignH4480 H4427 in Jerusalem;H3389 and putH5414 H5921 the landH776 to a tributeH6066 of an hundredH3967 talentsH3603 of silver,H3701 and a talentH3603 of gold.H2091 [23:34] And Pharaoh-nechohH6549 madeH4427 (H853) EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4427 in the roomH8478 of JosiahH2977 his father,H1 and turnedH5437 (H853) his nameH8034 to Jehoiakim,H3079 and tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 away: and he cameH935 to Egypt,H4714 and diedH4191 there.H8033 —> So, as pharaoh-nechoh was returning to Egypt from defeating the Assyrians, he stopped in Hamath—eyes and ears open brethren; as, we know who the inhabitants of Hamath are, i.e., satan’s children: the kenites—anyway, while Nechoh is there, he sends a message to Jerusalem for Jehoahaz to come to Hamath, once there, he put him in chains and will take him back to Egypt with him. It’s sad really; as, as the people of Judah are rapidly finding out, Nechoh has complete dominion over them and their lives. When Josiah was killed on the battlefield, the people of Judah made his son Jehoahaz the younger brother of Eliakim king over them; however, as they’re now seeing, Nechoh didn’t agree with their decision, and said in essence, “not so fast;” as, he is exerting his authority and will place his puppet Eliakim as ruler—read that, his vassal—over them. Upon making Eliakim his vassal, he carries Jehoahaz back to Egypt and kills him. Father’s Word does not out-right state this; but, rememeber, Jehoahaz was only twenty three years old, he didn’t die of old age or natural causes. In either case, Father’s Prophesy of Jeremiah 22:11-12 was fulfilled.
…an hundred talents of silver…a talent of gold=Remember brethren, one talent in Father’s Word usually equates to approximately 110-180 pounds. So, even at the low end of this, Necho is exacting 11,000 pounds of silver and 110 pounds of gold from Eliakim. Let’s put this in perspective: 11,000 pounds is 176,000 ounces, and the price of silver at today’s market, comes to approximately 4,496,800 US dollars. For the talent of gold, 110 pounds is 1,760 ounces, which at today’s market comes to approximately 3,995,024 US dollars; a substantive sum of monies. But, every single ounce of this taxation which was laid upon the shoulders of each of the land owners went not to anything in Judah; but, to the king of Egypt. My how they have fallen, during David and Solomon’s reigns, Israel was the mightiest Nation in the world, and every surrounding nation paid tribute to them; not any longer, now it is our forefathers paying out tribute to other nations who are more mighty and powerful than they.
This will be the very last time that the children of the House of Judah would have a time of blessing from our Father; however, shortly, they will go into captivity to the Babylonians, and Father is going to punish them because of their forsaking Him, and, for leaning on their false gods and idols, and now Egypt. We have seen over the past few Chapters, that the House of Judah had come to a point of sinning far more than their brothers of the House of Israel ever had, and Father had punished their brethren Israel and sent them into captivity and then scattered them over the face of the earth.

36:4 King of Egypt sets
his brother up.
36:4 Jehoahaz. Captivity.
1A4
II Chronicles 36:4 And the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 made(H853) EliakimH471 (YAH of raising; and, raised up by YAH) (el-yah-keemי) his brotherH251 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063 and Jerusalem,H3389 and turnedH5437 (H853) his nameH8034 to Jehoiakim.H3079 (YHVH will raise; or, whom YHVH sets up) (yeh-ho-yaw-keemי)
And NechoH5224 (lame; and, lame) (nek-oי) tookH3947 JehoahazH3059 his brother,H251 and carriedH935 him to Egypt.H4714 —> The kings and the people had turned their backs on Father and forsook Him, and He therefore likewise has forsaken His people and given them over to man. The king has no control over anything which happens in his own Nation, Necho is exerting complete authority, and total control over Judah; neither the king nor the people have any say as to what transpires.
Eliakim
Eliakim=For my description of the name Eliakim, see Jehoiakim—(Click here)—as they are one and the same. Therefore, for the name Eliakim, I’ll only provide the etymology, the Strong’s Concordance information, and the Smith’s Bible Dictionary information: † For the etymology of the name Eliakim, we read the following from Abarim Publications: “The name Eliakim consists of two elements, the first one being אל, EL, the abbreviated form of אלהים, ELOHIM, denoting the genus God—Father in His Role of Creator of all things: The second part of our name probably comes from the verb קום (qom), meaning to rise or stand up: For a meaning of the name Eliakim, New Open Bible Study Edition (NOBSE) Study Bible Name List reads God Will Establish, Jones’ Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names has Whom God Sets Up, and Brown Driver Briggs (BDB) Theological Dictionary proposes God Sets Up.”. † Now from the Strong’s Concordance, where we find that the name Eliakim is Hebrew word number: H471, - אֶלְיָקִיםi, - יelyâqı̂ym, - pronounced: el-yaw-keemי, and means: From H410 and H6965; God of raising; Eljakim, the name of four Israelites: - Eliakim. Total KJV occurrences: 12.. † Now from the Easton’s Bible Dictionary, where we read: “The original name of Jehoiakim, king of Judah (II Kings 23:34). He was the son of Josiah.”.

36:5-8 JEHOIAKIM.
(Introversion.)
36:5 Introduction.
1A5
II Chronicles 36:5 JehoiakimH3079 was twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reign,H4427 and he reignedH4427 elevenH259 H6240 yearsH8141 in Jerusalem:H3389 and he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 his God.H430 —> Jehoiakim may have reigned in Jerusalem for 11 years; however, his reign is really nothing; as, he is only king in title, for, he is nothing more than a vassal king of necho’s, meaning, he is only there to do necho’s bidding of collecting the tribute which necho has burdened Judah with.
…he reigned eleven years…=Jehoiakim was put over the Nation of the House of Judah in the year 499B.C. until his death in the year 488B.C., which means that it will only be another 11 to 12 years before the Nation goes into captivity to Babylon for 70 years. When Jehoiakim dies, his son Jehoiachin will take the throne for 3 months, and then Judah’s last king, Mattaniah—Jehoiachin’s uncle, Josiah’s youngest son—who will have his name changed to Zedekiah will be set upon the throne for Judah’s last 11 years. In any case, the last three kings of the House of Judah were set upon the throne by man, not Father.
What is not stated here brethren, is that, Jehoiakim also made an arrangement with necho for him to protect Judah from the king of Babylon. In this, we see that Jehoiakim is now leaning on man and not Father, and not only that; but, which man? The king of Egypt, the same people who had held Israel captive and put them in bondage for 400 years, the same who Father commanded to never go back to.
The LORD=This Title of Father as used here in this verse, is Father in His Role of יְהֹוָה, YHVH—from Dr. Bullinger’s Companion Bible Appendices: YHVH, YAHVEH, or YEHOVAH—the sacred and personal name of Father. While Elohim is God as the Creator of all things, YEHOVAH is the same God in covenant relation to those whom He has created (compare II Chronicles 18:31). YEHOVAH means the Eternal, the Immutable One, He Who WAS, and IS, and IS TO COME. The Divine definition is given in Genesis 21:33. He is especially, therefore, the God of Israel; and the God of those who are redeemed, and are thus now “in Christ”. We can say “My God,” but not “My YEHOVAH,” for YEHOVAH is “MY God.”.
God=As used in this verse, this is אלהים, ELOHIM—from Dr. Bullinger’s Companion Bible Appendices,: ELOHIM—the genus God, in other words, Father in His role of Creator of all things. From Dr. Bullinger’s Companion Bible, Appendix 4: “ELOHIM occurs 2,700 times. Its first occurrence connects it with creation, and gives it its essential meaning as the Creator. It indicates His relation to mankind as His creatures (see note on II Chronicles 18:31, where it stands in contrast with YEHOVAH as indicating covenant relationship). ELOHIM is God the Son, the living “WORD” with creature form to create (John 1:1; Colossians 1:15-17; Revelation 3:14); and later, with human form to redeem (John 1:14). “Begotten of His Father before all worlds; born of His mother, in the world.” In this creature form He appeared to the Patriarchs, a form not temporarily assumed.”. Dr. Bullinger further notes in his Companion notes to this verse, that “(with Art.) = the [true] God.”.
36:6 Nebuchadnezzar.
Jehoiakim taken.
1A6
II Chronicles 36:6 AgainstH5921 him came upH5927 NebuchadnezzarH5019 (may Nebo protect the crown; and, Nebo, protect the boundry) (neb-oo-kad-rets-tsarי) kingH4428 of Babylon,H894 (confusion; and , confusion) (baw-belי) and boundH631 him in fetters,H5178 to carryH1980 him to Babylon.H894 —> Though not too much is said within this verse, there is quite a bit to unpack here brethren. Remember, Jehoiakim had been paying his taxes and tribute to Pharaoh of Egypt; however, what has not been mentioned here in Father’s Word, is that, though pharaoh had bested the Babylonians in Assyria, the Babylonians have now sacked Pharaoh and have the upper-hand; and now that king Nebuchadnezzar and his Babylonian army pushed Pharaoh back into Egypt, those taxes would now being going to a new king, the king of Babylon. Jehoiakim began by continuing to pay the tribute to Nebuchadnezzar, however, after a while, he decided he wasn’t going to pay anymore. This is great if you have the power to back your stance; however, Jehoiakim being only a vassal king under Necho, he doesn’t have the power to back his rebellion of Nebuchadnezzar. So, what’s going to happen? His rebellious actions caused Nebuchadnezzar to come against him and Jerusalem, this will be the first siege upon Judah.
Who is behind this brethren? Father’s Word here in this verse says that it is king Nebuchadnezzar; however, let’s turn back to II Kings 24—(Click here)—and read what Father’s Word tells us what happened: II Kings 24:1 n his daysH3117 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4418 of BabylonH894 came up,H5927 and JehoiakimH3079 becameH1961 his servantH5650 threeH7969 years:H8141 then he turnedH7725 and rebelledH4775 against him. [24:2] And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 against him(H853) bandsH1416 of the Chaldees,H3778 and bandsH1416 of the Syrians,H758 and bandsH1416 of the Moabites,H4124 and bandsH1416 of the childrenH1121 of Ammon,H5983 and sentH7971 them against JudahH3063 to destroyH6 it, according to the wordH1697 of the LORD,H3068 whichH834 He spakeH1696 byH3027 His servantsH5650 the prophets.H5030 [24:3] SurelyH389 atH5921 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 this upon Judah,H3063 to removeH5493 them out ofH4480 H5921 His sight,H6440 for the sinsH2403 of Manasseh,H4519 according to allH3605 thatH834 he did;H6213 —> As we see, it was Father Who is behind this, why? Because of Manasseh’s and now Jehoiakim’s unrighteousness. See, Jehoiakim not only rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar; but, he was actually rebelling against Father. He was a very unrighteous king toward Father and a harsh king against his own people even. How harsh was he? Again, let’s turn back to II Kings 24—(Click here)— and read what Father says: II Kings 24:4 And alsoH1571 for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 thatH834 he shed:H8210 for he filledH4390 (H853) JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 blood;H1818 which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 notH3808 pardon.H5545 —> What all Jehoiakim did Father’s Word doesn’t say or record; but, Father knew and as we read here, He did not pardon. I don’t believe there is any kind word which can be spoken of Jehoiakim. As for the innocent blood mentioned in this verse, whose innocent blood did Jehoiakim shed? Our answer to this question is found in Jeremiah 26:20-23 where we read: Jeremiah 26:20 And there wasH1961 alsoH1571 a manH376 that prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORD,H3068 UrijahH223 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098 of Kirjath-jearim,H4480 H7157 who prophesiedH5012 againstH5921 thisH2063 cityH5892 and againstH5921 thisH2063 landH776 according to allH3605 the wordsH1697 of Jeremiah:H3414 [26:21] And when JehoiakimH3079 the king,H4428 with allH3605 his mighty men,H1368 and allH3605 the princes,H8269 heardH8085 (H853) his words,H1697 the kingH4428 soughtH1245 to put him to death:H4191 but when UrijahH223 heardH8085 it, he was afraid,H3372 and fled,H1272 and went intoH935 Egypt;H4714 [26:22] And JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 sentH7971 menH376 into Egypt,H4714 namely,(H853) ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of Achbor,H5907 and certain menH376 withH854 him intoH413 Egypt.H4714 [26:23] And they fetched forthH3318 (H853) UrijahH223 out of Egypt,H4480 H4714 and broughtH935 him untoH413 JehoiakimH3079 the king;H4428 who slewH5221 him with the sword,H2719 and castH7993 (H853) his dead bodyH5038 intoH413 the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 people.H5971 —> Jehoiakim slew Urijah, one of Father’s Prophets, who was prophesying against Jehoiakim, the people and the city, and Father wasn’t going to, and didn’t forgive or pardon Jehoiakim for this dastardly deed.
It wasn’t only Jehoiakim who became Nebuchadnezzar’s captive, he was the king, so he went into captivity; but, so did many of the other high ranking officials of Judah, only people who were of no threat to Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians—i.e., the commoners—were allowed to stay in the land. This is the beginning of the 70 year captivity, which lasted from 496 to 426 B.C.. Father’s Prophet Daniel, author of the Book named after him, began his writings while he was a captive in Babylon.
…fetters…=Let’s check out this word “fetters” in our Strong’s Concordance brethren, when we do, we find that the word fetters is Hebrew word number: H5178, - נְחֹשֶׁת, - nechôsheth, - pronounced: nekh-oי-sheth, and means: For H5154; copper; hence, something made of that metal, that is, coin, a fetter; figuratively base (as compared with gold or silver): - brasen, brass, chain, copper, fetter (of brass), filthiness, steel. Total KJV occurrences: 140.. These fetters were chains of either brass or steel, but in any case, Jehoiakim was put into chains and taken to Babylon.
…to carry him to Babylon=There were four deportations: (1) Manasseh as we read in II Chronicles 33:11—(Click here)—we don’t know in what year Manasseh went into captivity, or how long he was there in Babylon; but, we do know he was released and allowed to return to Jerusalem; (2) Jehoiakim as we are reading of here in II Chronicles 36:6, Father’s Prophet Daniel was included in this deportation as we can read of in Daniel 1:1, this deportation occurred in 496B.C.; (3) Jehoiachin of whom we’ll read of four verses from now in II Chronicles 36:10—(Click here)—we can also read of Jehoiachin’s deportation in II Kings 24:14—(Click here)—Jehoiachin’s deportation will occur in the year 489B.C.; and (4) Zedekiah of whose deportation we’ll read of when we come to verse II Chronicles 36:20—(Click here)—we can also read of Zedekiah’s deportation in II Kings 25:7—(Click here)—Zedekiah’s deportation occurred in 477B.C., and it was from this deportation that the seventy years of which we’ll read of when we come to verse II Chronicles 36:21—(Click here)—below, and in Jeremiah 25:9,11,12 is reckoned from.

36:7 Nebuchadnezzar.
Temple spoiled.

II Chronicles 36:7 NebuchadnezzarH5019 also carriedH935 of the vesselsH4480 H3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 to Babylon,H894 and putH5414 them in his templeH1964 at Babylon.H894 —> When Nebuchadnezzar came to Jerusalem, he left Jehoiakim on the throne as king, if you want to consider being a vassal, a king, however, as we read here, he carried all the valuable vessels which we in Father’s House back to Babylon when he returned to Babylon. Now some of you may be wondering why Father would allow House House to be desecrated by these heathen like this; but, let’s turn to Jeremiah 25:8-9 and read what Father says about Nebuchadnezzar: Jeremiah 25:8 ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts;H6635 ‘BecauseH3282 H834 ye have notH3808 heardH8085 (H853) My words,H1697 [25:9] Behold,H2009 I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 (H853) allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the north,H6828 saithH5002 the LORD,H3068 and NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of Babylon,H894 My servant,H5650 and will bringH935 them againstH5921 thisH2063 land,H776 and againstH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and againstH5921 allH3605 theseH428 nationsH1471 round about,H5439 and will utterly destroyH2763 them, and makeH7760 them an astonishment,H8047 and an hissing,H8322 and perpetualH5769 desolations.H2723 —> It was Father Who put it in Nebuchadnezzar’s heart to come up against Jehoiakim and Jerusalem, why? Because they had not hearkened unto Father’s Words. He sent Prophet after Prophet to warn them and try to have our forefathers return their hearts back to Him, but, they would not; therefore, he was bringing the destruction upon them which He told them He would bring. And since He was sending Nebuchadnezzar, His servant, He didn’t bring any calamity upon Nebuchadnezzar or his men when they entered into Father’s House and carried His vessels out of ℑt.
