The Assyrian army arrives at the Gates of Jerusalem. Instead of receiving the gold stripped from the temple doors as a bribe, Sennacherib demanded the complete surrender of Jerusalem. Receiving the death threats and written blasphemy of God, Hezekiah runs into the Temple of the Lord demonstrating one of the most powerful moments of intercession in the Old Testament. 2 Chronicles 322 Kings 18:17-37, 2 Kings 19Isaiah 36, 37www.messagetokings.com

The story of Hezekiah is a lesson on how to radically change a country. Starting as regent or co-ruler with his father, Hezekiah begins by rebuilding Jerusalem's defenses and reestablishing Israel's army and commissioned engineers to start an engineering project. Upon his father's death, Hezekiah introduced his spiritual reforms by reopening the temple doors, cleansing the temple and reinstating the worship of God. Sending out evangelists into the desolate region of Northern Israel, Hezekiah calls the entirety of the people of Israel back to God and to reinstitute all of the practices of David and Solomon. In this episode, we cover the remainder of the revival of Hezekiah. 2 Kings 18:1-122 Chronicles 29-31www.messagetokings.com

At the height of the siege of Jerusalem, King Ahaz sent riders out to Ninevah to offer his submission to Tiglath Pileaser of Assyria. His riders make it to Ninevah and offer Jerusalem's treasures, but the treasures made no difference because Assyria had already invaded Aram and Northern Isreal. The invasion of Aram led to the end of the state of Aram and the submission of Northern Israel. All that remained of Northern Israel was the city of Samaria and other hilltop cities. In one last grasp for power, King Hoshea tries to play his cards but is called on the mat by Assyria's next king Shalmaneser V who invades and besieges Samaria. 2 Kings 16:7-92 Kings 17www.messagetokings.com

In the midst of the siege, the prophet Isaiah brings a message of hope to a desperate nation and its wicked king. Isaiah 7Matthew 1:20-23www.messagetokings.com

While the prophet Isaiah prophesies from the city, Micah prophecies from the country.

Last episode, we dropped Jonah off on a beach on the Eastern Mediterranean being spit out by a giant fish. Dehydrated, oxygen deprived, and humbled Jonah sets off to Ninevah to preach to the violent Assyrians. Instead of a violent mob out to kill Jonah, the geopolitically troubled, plague-ridden, earthquake shaken city was more than prepared for a message from God. The response is the greatest city revival in all of Biblical History. Jonah 3-4Matthew 12:41John 12:24John 1:16www.messagetokings.com
