Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap.

Okay Bible readers, it's time for our weekly check-in.

so I just want to remind you, there will not be a quiz.

If you were to tell me the name of a king and ask me which kingdom he ruled over, it'd

be a good chance I'd have to guess.

Are you seeing more of Him?

Are you delighting in Him more?

If so, thank Him and if not ask Him for help.

He can open your eyes and He can change your heart.

But Jehovah has not so much, whoever that is.

Today we're back in the narrative section of scripture in a time that overlaps with the

prophecies we're reading.

are being fulfilled during this time frame as well.

Another portion of the prophecies were fulfilled after this time period, like the birth of

the Messiah for instance, and some have yet to be fulfilled, like the Messiah coming back

to reign in peace on the new earth.

But today though, we're stuck in the final days of the kingdom of Judah.
