Question

Describe three major sins of Israel and Judah as revealed in 1 and 2 Kings and addressed by the prophets?

Answer 1

Often we state that their great sin was worshipful admiration. Yet, that sin was an impact, not the underlying driver.
So as to address this inquiry, we have to think back to the lord who ruled at the time Jeremiah was conceived. His name was Manasseh, and he was exceedingly evil. We discover the record of Manasseh's reign in second Kings part 21:
Manasseh was twelve years old when he moved toward becoming ruler, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mom's name was Hephzibah. What's more, he did insidious in seeing the Lord, as per the anathemas of the countries whom the Lord had cast out before the offspring of Israel.
For he revamped the high puts which Hezekiah his dad had decimated; he raised up special raised areas for Baal, and made a wooden picture, as Ahab ruler of Israel had done; and he adored all the host of paradise and served them. He likewise assembled special stepped areas in the place of the Lord [the Temple], of which the Lord had stated, "In Jerusalem I will put My name." And he manufactured raised areas for all the host of paradise in the two courts of the place of the Lord.
Additionally he made his child go through the flame, working on soothsaying, utilized black magic, and counseled spiritists and mediums. He did much insidious in seeing the Lord, to incite Him to outrage.
He even set a cut picture of Asherah that he had made, in the place of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his child, "In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have picked out of the considerable number of clans of Israel, I will put My name always; and I won't cause the feet of Israel to meander any longer from the land which I gave their dads - just on the off chance that they are mindful so as to do as per all that I have instructed them, and as indicated by all the law that My hireling Moses directed them."
Yet, they gave no consideration, and Manasseh enticed them to accomplish more underhanded than the countries whom the Lord had crushed before the offspring of Israel.
Furthermore, the Lord talked by His hirelings the prophets, saying, "In light of the fact that Manasseh ruler of Judah has done these cursed things (he has acted more insidiously than all the Amorites who were before him, and has likewise made Judah sin with his objects of worship), in this manner therefore says the Lord God of Israel: 'Behold, I am bringing such catastrophe upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever knows about it, the two his ears will shiver. Furthermore, I will extend over Jerusalem the estimating line of Samaria and the fall of the place of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, cleaning it and flipping around it. So I will neglect the remainder of My legacy and convey them into the hand of their foes; and they will progress toward becoming casualties of loot to every one of their adversaries, since they have done shrewdness in My sight, and have incited Me to outrage since the day their dads left Egypt, even right up 'til the present time.' "
Additionally Manasseh shed particularly guiltless blood, till he had filled Jerusalem starting with one end then onto the next, other than his sin by which he made Judah sin, in doing fiendish in seeing the Lord.
A Brief Revival, Then the Final Plunge
Jeremiah was conceived during the rule of Manasseh. At the point when Jeremiah was authorized by God as the following of the prophets, he grabbed the call of the prophets that went before him against the fiendishness of Judah, since conditions had not so much changed. Truth be told, we read somewhere else that after a short recovery under Josiah, the last downfall of Judah started when Jeremiah was in the center years of his service. The majority of the rulers of Judah after Josiah, the rulers that ruled during Jeremiah's lifetime, lost the faith. They drove the country in doing all the underhanded things that Manasseh and the others had done.
Israel's 800-Year-Old Sin
How did this occur? How did Israel and Judah come to be in such a condition of settled in, unwavering worshipful admiration and unethical behavior? So as to see how things came to be in such a state in the time of Jeremiah, we have to go right back to the book of Deuteronomy, part 17, starting at refrain 14. Remember that God expressed these words to Israel through Moses, almost 800 years before Jeremiah's time. God said this:
"When you go to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have it and abide in it, and state, 'I will set a ruler over me like every one of the countries that are around me'...Also it will be, the point at which he [the king] sits on the position of authority of his kingdom, that he will compose for himself a duplicate of this law in a book, from the one preceding the ministers, the Levites. Also, it will be with him, and he will peruse it every one of a mind-blowing times, that he may figure out how to fear the Lord his God and be mindful so as to watch every one of the expressions of this law and these resolutions, that his heart may not be lifted over his brethren, that he may not divert beside the charge to the correct hand or to one side, and that he may drag out his days in his kingdom, he and his kids amidst Israel."
God instructed that each ruler of Israel and Judah ought to record, for himself, his own duplicate of the Scriptures. The lords of Israel and Judah were to be men of the Book. They were to be completely inundated in the Word of God. It was to be their standard of life, and lifestyle. In any case, after David's time, not many of them did this.
God not just told that every ruler ought to record his own duplicate of the Scriptures. God likewise directed that the whole Law ought to be perused to the whole country, like clockwork, during the Feast of Tabernacles. We discover this in Deuteronomy part 31, starting at refrain 9:
So Moses composed this law and conveyed it to the ministers, the children of Levi, who bore the ark of the contract of the Lord, and to every one of the older folks of Israel. What's more, Moses instructed them, saying: "Toward the part of the arrangement years, at the named time in the year of discharge, at the Feast of Tabernacles, when all Israel comes to show up before the Lord your God in the spot which He picks, you will peruse this law before all Israel in their hearing. Assemble the individuals, people and minimal ones, and the more abnormal who is inside your entryways, that they may hear and that they may figure out how to fear the Lord your God and cautiously watch every one of the expressions of this law, and that their youngsters, who have not known it, might hear and figure out how to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the land which you cross the Jordan to have."
These words were additionally composed 800 years before Jeremiah's time. In any case, for many years before Jeremiah went ahead the scene, the pioneers of Israel and Judah had generally left from the Word of God. The rulers made no duplicate of it. The clerics disregarded it. The Scriptures were not instructed to the individuals. The composed Word of God was completely dismissed.
Thus, the individuals, and the rulers, and even the ministers followed different gods and went into the grossest sorts of shamelessness. At about the time Jeremiah was conceived, things had gotten so awful that King Manasseh of Judah had really set up a cut picture of the agnostic goddess Asherah in the Temple of the Lord. The love of Asherah included the most exceedingly terrible sort of unethical behavior possible. This was occurring in the courts of the sanctuary of the living God in Jerusalem.
Be that as it may, this was nothing new. Israel had been doing this for several years. We read in the book of Judges section two that the absolute original that lived in the guaranteed land, the original after the passing of Joshua, had spurned the Lord and started loving the agnostic gods of the encompassing countries, including the goddess Asherah. There were occasional times of contrition and restoration over the next hundreds of years, yet Israel and Judah consistently returned into agnostic excessive admiration. Furthermore, under Manasseh, things had gotten extraordinarily awful.
No Wonder Jeremiah Was the Weeping Prophet
Into such a scene of absolute good and profound devastation came Jeremiah. No big surprise he was the sobbing prophet.
Around four years after Jeremiah started his service, during the rule of the last godly ruler, Josiah, the main duplicate of the Scriptures was found - disregarded, throw away, gathering dust, in the sanctuary of the Lord that had been offered over to agnostic love. After the Law of the Lord was recuperated and read, there were a couple of years of contrition and restoration under King Josiah during Jeremiah's time. The record of those years is found in 2 Kings parts 22 and 23. In any case, notwithstanding during the later years of Josiah, the kingdom of Judah started to go into a last downhill slide that picked up ever more noteworthy energy. Be that as it may, Jeremiah continued forecasting as far as possible, despite the fact that the individuals didn't get or notice his message.
As God's long-repressed fierceness broke out. Jerusalem and the sanctuary were crushed, thousands were slaughtered, and the individuals who were left alive, everything except a couple, were taken into bondage in Babylon. All in view of the point of reference that was set many years already in dismissing the Word and works of God, and neglecting to convey them loyally from age to age.
Regularly we state that the incredible sin of Judah and Israel was excessive admiration. In any case, that sin was an impact, not the main driver. Judah and Israel's incredible, long-standing, and most fundamental sin was disregard of the Word of God. Genuinely, among them the Old Testament progressed toward becoming generally "The Greatest Story Never Read."
