Melachim Bet

The northern kingdom falls to Assyria. The southern kingdom hangs on through a few faithful kings, but eventually falls to Babylon. The temple is destroyed. Israel goes into exile. But the prophets promise return.

• Persistent unfaithfulness leads to exile — but Elohim's promises remain
• Elisha carries the mantle forward with double the power
• Even in judgement, Elohim is working towards restoration
• The exile is not the end — it sets the stage for return and for Yeshua
