0:00.0 | Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Today we revisited part of the story we first read on day 2006, including Hezekiah's response to King Sanakarib's threats. |
0:20.0 | We're reminded of how humbly he responded when Trebles came his way. |
0:25.0 | And since we've read this story before, you probably recall that after this, when he's been |
0:29.1 | blessed and has stockpiled fortunes and he gets to live an extra 15 years, his heart arcs away from God. |
0:35.8 | He becomes prideful, doubts God's words, and lives somewhat carelessly. |
0:40.7 | One of the things we didn't touch on when we first read this story a few days ago was the part where God puts a spirit in sinecura that will cause him to hear a lie. |

1:18.9 | But God certainly does use evil for his own purposes. When Romans 828 says he works all things together for the good of those who love him, |
1:27.0 | evil is included in that list of all things, |
1:30.0 | the good, the bad, and the ugly, the truth he speaks, and the rumors others speak. |
1:35.4 | So he allows Senakirib to be misled. |
1:38.6 | If you think that might be an unjust response, try to zoom out and remember how Sinacarib has openly mocked |
1:43.8 | Yawe and his leaders tell the people of Judah that they shouldn't let |
