Summary

As we get closer to the end of the Old Testament, Fr. Mike highlights one of the lessons we've seen time and time again—that God continues to fight for each of us, despite the brokenness and messiness of our lives. He also points out how the reading from Wisdom foreshadows the coming of Jesus. The readings are 2 Maccabees 14, Wisdom 17-18, and Proverbs 25:18-20.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast,
0:07.3	where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture.
0:10.7	The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
0:13.3	Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation,
0:17.2	discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today.
0:20.4	It is day 311. We're reading the second book of the Maccabees, chapter 14, as well as the
0:25.0	wisdom of Solomon, chapter 17 and 18, and Proverbs chapter 25 versus 18 through 20. As always,
0:30.6	the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, second Catholic edition.

0:41.1	You can also subscribe to this podcast, which is a little known fact. I've never mentioned this
0:45.1	before. I don't think when it comes to being able to subscribe. So I'm so sorry that it's taking

1:10.5	and Proverbs 25 and 18 and 20.
1:14.2	The second book of the Maccabees, Chapter 14. Alchemus speaks against Judas.
1:20.5	Three years later, word came to Judas and his men that Demetrius, the son of Seleucus,
1:25.3	had sailed into the harbor of Tripolis with a strong army
1:27.9	and a fleet, and had taken possession of the country having made away with Antiochus and his guardian,
1:33.0	Lysseus. Now, a certain alchemist, who had formerly been high priest, but had willfully defiled
