Sermon Video: The Fall of Jerusalem - 2 Chronicles 36

As the Chronicle of the king of Judah comes to its close, the kingdom slides toward destruction under the leadership of four wicked kings in a row (sadly, 3 of which were sons of a righteous man, Josiah).  Politically, the rivalry between Egypt and Babylon pushes Judah into becoming the vassal of first one and then the other, but none of Judah's four kings takes the opportunity of the troubled times they are facing to repent and seek the face of the LORD.
In the end, the Chronicle makes it clear that the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple were the judgment of God against the people of Judah for their repeated violations of the covenant and mockery of the prophets sent by God to warn them to repent.
