14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
15 And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
17 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
from thee, which thou shalt beget,
18 And of thy sons that shall issue shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
20 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.Where is your pride if all you can share is the wealth of man and not the spiritual wealth of faith. This morning as we examine the point Israel material wealth was shown to Babylon, the spiritual wealth of testimony was unshare of a sundial shadow moving backwards or healing of a boil. The spiritual testimony should of been shining but Hezekiah was only seeing physical wealth of his land, Temple and the Palace. When confronted about who he shared information with, prophesy was spoken what would happen to Israel. Hezekiah care was how it would affect him during his day and time.
Hezekiah bath in his wealth and luxury carrying not for Israel future. When told it would be after his death his attituted being so no big deal that another generation problem. Our revolves on that mentallity not realizing how important it is to take care of our world both materially and physically. Our actions can and will effect. It important to take care of our securities and wealth, but also our planet.
Dear Heavenly Father, protect our nations, the wealth of our planet to perserve our livilihood tell the day of judgment. In Jesus precious name, Amen. Continual Scripture Study: 2 Chronicles 36:18 KJV
