Bible Question: Why did God cause the fall of the nation |
Bible Answer: When we read further on in the chapter of 2 Kings 17 we do not find that God caused the fall of the nation, but rather the nation due to major disobedience brought upon themselves dire consequences. In verse 6 we read of their captivity. In verse 7 we read why the nation fell. "Now this came about because the sons of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up from the Land of Eygpt from under the hand of Pharaoh, King of Eygpt, and they had feared other gods." The remainder of the chapter tells us of God's work with them and their continual rejection of him. |
