057 The Fall of Israel and Judah - Hezekiah Becomes King - The First Passover, Again

2 Kings 18:1-12 and 2 Chron 29-31 and Isaiah 14 (v24-end), Isaiah 18-20

When Ahaz dies, his son Hezekiah becomes king and immediately tosses all the idols out of the Temple. He calls for a renewed devotion to YHWH. Frankly, he’s looking for all the help he can get to avoid being conquered by the Assyrians.

But this first effort is a comedy of errors. Will Hezekiah decide to hedge his bets by forming an alliance with Egypt?

Things get pretty dicey, and the Lord calls on Isaiah to step up in a graphic way. This lesson needs to come with a warning label.
