WEBVTT - Jack Graham - Oct 30 - 9:30 pm

0:00:00.780 --> 0:00:04.660
<v Speaker 1>Let us pray. And I will add unto thy days

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:08.570
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years, and I will deliver thee and this city

0:00:08.950 --> 0:00:11.469
<v Speaker 1>out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and

0:00:11.550 --> 0:00:14.570
<v Speaker 1>I will defend this city for my own sake, and

0:00:14.610 --> 0:00:20.750
<v Speaker 1>for my servant David's sake. 2 Kings 26 In the

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>face of adversity, and when life seems to overwhelm me,

0:00:25.380 --> 0:00:28.140
<v Speaker 1>I will seek comfort in knowing that, because I serve

0:00:28.180 --> 0:00:31.990
<v Speaker 1>you with my whole heart, you will prolong my life

0:00:32.670 --> 0:00:35.150
<v Speaker 1>and continue using me to bring praise to your name.

0:00:37.170 --> 0:00:40.769
<v Speaker 1>As word spreads of your works in my life, I

0:00:40.810 --> 0:00:44.409
<v Speaker 1>will be extra careful not to expose the private blessings

0:00:44.830 --> 0:00:47.330
<v Speaker 1>that you've done for me and those who I love,

0:00:48.070 --> 0:00:50.850
<v Speaker 1>simply because I want to show off and look good

0:00:51.229 --> 0:00:55.500
<v Speaker 1>in the eyes of others. Help me to know what

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.540
<v Speaker 1>to show and when to show what you are doing

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:04.110
<v Speaker 1>in my life. Like King Hezekiah, thank you for blessing

0:01:04.170 --> 0:01:08.250
<v Speaker 1>me with witty ideas and inventions to bless your children.

0:01:09.930 --> 0:01:12.350
<v Speaker 1>Do more in my life in the next 15 years

0:01:12.910 --> 0:01:17.929
<v Speaker 1>than in my former years. I'm ready for every blessing

0:01:17.970 --> 0:01:23.150
<v Speaker 1>that's coming my way. In Jesus' name, amen.

0:01:23.150 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>15 years.

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.619
<v Speaker 1>In our last story, the Lord provided victory over the Assyrians.

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.380
<v Speaker 1>In this story, we learn about the continued favor of

0:01:36.459 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>God on Hezekiah's.

0:01:46.430 --> 0:02:01.580
<v Speaker 3>Life. He is blessed with the opportunity to live and

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:06.020
<v Speaker 3>rule for 15 more years. In this time, Hezekiah would

0:02:06.060 --> 0:02:09.500
<v Speaker 3>build great things for the people of Judah. However, he

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 3>would also open the gate to a rising evil, an

0:02:13.380 --> 0:02:17.620
<v Speaker 3>evil unlike the world has ever seen. Inspired by the

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 3>book of 2 Chronicles and 2 Kings.

0:02:24.820 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 2>We're so glad you joined us on the Bible in

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>a Year podcast today. The Bible in a Year podcast

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.679
<v Speaker 2>is an outreach of PowerPoint Ministries and can only come

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 2>to you each week through the support of listeners just

<v Speaker 2>want to thank you for your gift by giving you

0:02:41.740 --> 0:02:45.060
<v Speaker 2>a copy of my book called The Jesus Book. It

0:02:45.100 --> 0:02:47.490
<v Speaker 2>is a powerful guide that shows how every book of

0:02:47.530 --> 0:02:51.030
<v Speaker 2>the Bible points to Jesus and how his living word,

0:02:51.110 --> 0:02:55.029
<v Speaker 2>the truth of God's word, will transform your life. So

0:02:55.070 --> 0:02:57.750
<v Speaker 2>to get a copy of The Jesus Book, Simply go

<v Speaker 2>to jackgraham.org slash Jesus. That's jackgraham.org slash Jesus. And thank

0:03:05.230 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 2>you for your support. In our previous reading, we learned

0:03:10.220 --> 0:03:13.700
<v Speaker 2>how God protected Hezekiah and his armies from the Assyrians

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.079
<v Speaker 2>by sending his angels into the enemy's camp to quietly

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:22.859
<v Speaker 2>but effectively slaughter the Assyrian commanders. We learned of Hezekiah's

0:03:22.940 --> 0:03:27.230
<v Speaker 2>faith and wisdom in seeking God before just rushing into battle,

0:03:27.610 --> 0:03:29.790
<v Speaker 2>and how he gave glory to the Lord, knowing it

0:03:29.830 --> 0:03:34.170
<v Speaker 2>was God who always gives the victory. Today, we'll continue

0:03:34.190 --> 0:03:37.770
<v Speaker 2>to follow Hezekiah's life, seeing how God is with him,

0:03:38.050 --> 0:03:41.590
<v Speaker 2>granting the king favor and blessing, and even adding years

0:03:41.630 --> 0:03:44.330
<v Speaker 2>to his life. He will lead Judah in a time

0:03:44.390 --> 0:03:48.210
<v Speaker 2>of great prosperity, and yet, even amid God's blessing and

0:03:48.270 --> 0:03:52.290
<v Speaker 2>Hezekiah's faithfulness, today's reading will show how evil can creep

0:03:52.430 --> 0:03:56.290
<v Speaker 2>in and threaten peace that God wants for His people. So,

0:03:56.810 --> 0:03:58.870
<v Speaker 2>once again, let's turn to God's Word.

0:04:01.490 --> 0:04:04.790
<v Speaker 3>It was late, and the king's palace in Jerusalem was

0:04:04.850 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 3>a grim place to be. The prophet Isaiah walked the halls.

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.980
<v Speaker 3>They were filled with the echoes of painful coughing. The

0:04:13.020 --> 0:04:16.859
<v Speaker 3>coughs grew louder as Isaiah walked towards the king's chambers.

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.679
<v Speaker 3>He entered the room quietly. Dimly lit by candlelight, Isaiah

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.779
<v Speaker 3>beheld the pale face of King Hezekiah. The prophet narrowed

0:04:25.820 --> 0:04:28.620
<v Speaker 3>his eyes. The bottom of his lip quivered at the

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.460
<v Speaker 3>sight of his sickly king. He was in a great

0:04:31.500 --> 0:04:34.540
<v Speaker 3>deal of pain, and Isaiah's heart broke for his friend.

0:04:35.220 --> 0:04:38.820
<v Speaker 3>He grabbed the king's hand and held it tightly. My king,

0:04:39.540 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 3>you must set your house in order. Your end is near.

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.490
<v Speaker 3>I see that you will not recover. The king looked

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 3>at Isaiah. Streams of silent tears fell down his cheeks.

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 3>He turned his face to the wall. That was Isaiah's

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.409
<v Speaker 3>cue to leave. As Isaiah left, the king allowed himself

0:04:58.490 --> 0:05:03.650
<v Speaker 3>to weep before God. Lord, the king said silently, I

0:05:03.690 --> 0:05:06.940
<v Speaker 3>have walked with you with my whole heart. I have

0:05:06.980 --> 0:05:10.740
<v Speaker 3>done what is good in your sight. Please remember me.

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Hezekiah's throat was heavy, and he began to weep bitterly.

0:05:15.990 --> 0:05:19.230
<v Speaker 3>The comforting spirit of God was upon him. He heard

0:05:19.270 --> 0:05:22.950
<v Speaker 3>his cries. Isaiah was in the middle court of the

0:05:22.990 --> 0:05:25.469
<v Speaker 3>palace when he could hear the small voice of God

0:05:25.570 --> 0:05:29.870
<v Speaker 3>speaking to him. Turn back to the king. Tell him

0:05:29.950 --> 0:05:33.230
<v Speaker 3>I have heard his prayers and seen his tears. I

0:05:33.270 --> 0:05:36.050
<v Speaker 3>will heal him, and on the third day he shall

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.220
<v Speaker 3>rise from his bed to worship me. I will add

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 3>fifteen years to his life and defend the nation from

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.789
<v Speaker 3>the Assyrians. Isaiah was pleased with the news and rushed

0:05:46.850 --> 0:05:50.170
<v Speaker 3>back into the king's chambers to tell him. Sure enough,

0:05:50.270 --> 0:05:53.830
<v Speaker 3>on the third day, Hezekiah was healed. Word spread of

0:05:53.870 --> 0:05:57.250
<v Speaker 3>Hezekiah's miraculous healing, so much so that the prince of

0:05:57.310 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Babylon sent letters and presents with his ambassadors to Hezekiah

0:06:01.260 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 3>as a congratulations. Hezekiah's heart beat swiftly as he read

0:06:05.420 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 3>the letter from the prince. Babylon was one of the

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 3>largest superpowers in the world. He was honored to receive

0:06:11.980 --> 0:06:15.900
<v Speaker 3>gifts from such a strong nation instead of attacks. Judah

0:06:15.940 --> 0:06:19.060
<v Speaker 3>was a small nation compared to the greatness of Babylon

0:06:19.100 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 3>and Assyria. Hezekiah welcomed the ambassadors with a great feast

0:06:23.500 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 3>and a tour of the palace. Although Babylon came in peace,

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.360
<v Speaker 3>there was another motive to their visit. Babylon was at

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.750
<v Speaker 3>war with Assyria and was hoping to acquire loyalty and

0:06:33.990 --> 0:06:37.309
<v Speaker 3>aid from Hezekiah, something the king was willing to offer,

0:06:37.730 --> 0:06:42.380
<v Speaker 3>given Judah's past with Assyria. Hezekiah was eager to showcase

0:06:42.420 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 3>Judah's wealth and prosperity to the ambassadors of Babylon. The

0:06:46.779 --> 0:06:50.830
<v Speaker 3>men followed Hezekiah as he proudly revealed Judah's storehouses filled

0:06:50.870 --> 0:06:55.390
<v Speaker 3>with fine jewels, precious metals, weapons, and grain. There was

0:06:55.450 --> 0:06:59.429
<v Speaker 3>nothing Hezekiah did not show the Babylons. He pranced around

0:06:59.470 --> 0:07:03.470
<v Speaker 3>the palace halls like a child. Then, after a great

0:07:03.570 --> 0:07:06.980
<v Speaker 3>feast in their honor, the ambassadors traveled back to Babylon.

0:07:07.710 --> 0:07:12.070
<v Speaker 3>Hezekiah was quite pleased with the visit. However, when Isaiah

0:07:12.110 --> 0:07:14.710
<v Speaker 3>had heard that there were men from Babylon visiting, he

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.540
<v Speaker 3>ran to the king. What did you show them? Isaiah asked.

0:07:19.100 --> 0:07:22.820
<v Speaker 3>The king smiled and answered, Everything, of course. I showed

0:07:22.860 --> 0:07:26.460
<v Speaker 3>them all in my house, storehouse, and the armory. They

0:07:26.500 --> 0:07:29.100
<v Speaker 3>were quite impressed with the wealth of our small nation.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.260
<v Speaker 3>There was nothing I did not show them. Hezekiah spoke

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 3>with the ignorance of a small boy. Isaiah's eyes widened

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.750
<v Speaker 3>with anger. Hezekiah was confused at Isaiah's reaction. Before he

0:07:41.790 --> 0:07:45.650
<v Speaker 3>could ask anything, Isaiah pointed to Hezekiah and said, Hezekiah

0:07:45.870 --> 0:08:05.030
<v Speaker 3>did not quite understand Isaiah's words. Ignorantly, Hezekiah was simply

0:08:05.090 --> 0:08:09.490
<v Speaker 3>relieved any judgment would not take place in his lifetime. However,

0:08:09.530 --> 0:08:12.550
<v Speaker 3>he did not understand that Babylon was a rising giant

0:08:12.590 --> 0:08:17.350
<v Speaker 3>in the world. Hezekiah showcased Judah's wealth, and Babylon would

0:08:17.430 --> 0:08:20.980
<v Speaker 3>see it as an opportunity. It would consume the whole

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.620
<v Speaker 3>land surrounding Judah in Israel. It would hold his people

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.020
<v Speaker 3>captive and send them scattering like sheep without a shepherd.

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 3>The people of God would experience a fierce trail under

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.439
<v Speaker 3>the sword of Babylon. This was the great evil that

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.620
<v Speaker 3>awaited the children of God. It would provide to be

0:08:38.660 --> 0:08:42.809
<v Speaker 3>an evil by which any others were compared. Hezekiah would

0:08:42.850 --> 0:08:46.110
<v Speaker 3>not see its terror in his lifetime, but his children

0:08:46.270 --> 0:08:50.990
<v Speaker 3>and children's children would. They would suffer greatly. So Hezekiah

0:08:51.010 --> 0:08:54.270
<v Speaker 3>would rule for another 15 years. In this time, he

0:08:54.309 --> 0:08:56.910
<v Speaker 3>would lead the nation into a new era of technology

0:08:56.970 --> 0:09:00.310
<v Speaker 3>and wealth. Beautiful aqueducts would be placed in the city

0:09:00.350 --> 0:09:03.970
<v Speaker 3>for fresh water, and Judah would flourish until the day

0:09:04.030 --> 0:09:04.930
<v Speaker 3>Hezekiah died.

0:09:08.890 --> 0:09:13.569
<v Speaker 2>We begin today's scripture with a sick king. Hezekiah knew

0:09:13.630 --> 0:09:16.550
<v Speaker 2>that he was gravely, even deathly ill, and sins for

0:09:16.570 --> 0:09:20.109
<v Speaker 2>the prophet Isaiah. He was hoping, of course, for good

0:09:20.170 --> 0:09:24.190
<v Speaker 2>news from God, but Isaiah had a very startling word

0:09:24.230 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 2>for him. Get your house in order, he says. God

0:09:28.460 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 2>has shown Isaiah that Hezekiah would not recover and would

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 2>die from his illness. The king, however, was not ready

0:09:36.020 --> 0:09:39.090
<v Speaker 2>to die. The fact is, most of us are not

0:09:39.140 --> 0:09:42.370
<v Speaker 2>ready to die, but this is a good reminder for

0:09:42.470 --> 0:09:44.850
<v Speaker 2>each one of us that we should always live with

0:09:44.929 --> 0:09:47.650
<v Speaker 2>our house in order, that is, our lives in order,

0:09:48.210 --> 0:09:51.630
<v Speaker 2>along with our families. Think of the legacy that you

0:09:51.710 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 2>are living and leaving and work towards that so that

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 2>when your time comes, you can know that everything is

0:09:59.179 --> 0:10:02.980
<v Speaker 2>in order. The king was very distressed with Isaiah's words.

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.550
<v Speaker 2>He could have become angry or agitated or bitter, but

0:10:07.590 --> 0:10:12.510
<v Speaker 2>he chose a better way. Hezekiah went to God in prayer. Remember,

0:10:12.910 --> 0:10:16.890
<v Speaker 2>prayer is not our last resort, but always our first choice.

0:10:18.010 --> 0:10:21.709
<v Speaker 2>He was open-minded. and transparent with the Lord, begging him

0:10:21.770 --> 0:10:24.949
<v Speaker 2>to remember his faithfulness, and that he had lived a

0:10:24.990 --> 0:10:27.630
<v Speaker 2>life seeking the Lord all his days and doing what

0:10:27.670 --> 0:10:32.870
<v Speaker 2>was right in his sight. This was not Hezekiah demanding

0:10:32.929 --> 0:10:36.170
<v Speaker 2>anything of God or saying, look, God, I deserve to

0:10:36.230 --> 0:10:39.469
<v Speaker 2>live longer. You owe me. This was not entitlement. This

0:10:39.530 --> 0:10:42.790
<v Speaker 2>was simply the heart cry for God's favor and mercy.

0:10:43.450 --> 0:10:47.090
<v Speaker 2>It was a righteous prayer from a godly man. And

0:10:47.130 --> 0:10:51.010
<v Speaker 2>the Lord heard his desperate cry And before Isaiah could leave,

0:10:51.429 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the Lord spoke again and said in 2 Kings 20

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.819
<v Speaker 2>verses 5 and 6, I have heard your prayer. I

0:10:58.860 --> 0:11:02.559
<v Speaker 2>have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On

0:11:02.580 --> 0:11:04.580
<v Speaker 2>the third day, you shall go up to the house

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 2>of the Lord. I will add 15 years to your

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 2>life and will deliver you and the city from the

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.980
<v Speaker 2>hand of the king of Assyria. And I will defend

0:11:12.020 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the city for my own sake and for my servant

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.620
<v Speaker 2>David's sake. This is such a vivid illustration of the

0:11:18.670 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 2>power of prayer and the power of God to change

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 2>our lives and even to heal us when we are sick.

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.940
<v Speaker 2>No more important words could be spoken than what we

0:11:28.980 --> 0:11:33.120
<v Speaker 2>just read. I have heard your prayer, God says, and

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:37.479
<v Speaker 2>God promises to hear our prayers when we pray in

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.550
<v Speaker 2>the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and trust in him.

0:11:41.429 --> 0:11:45.150
<v Speaker 2>It's a wonderful reminder that prayer is changes everything, not

0:11:45.210 --> 0:11:49.339
<v Speaker 2>just us, but things, sometimes in big ways. But notice

0:11:49.410 --> 0:11:52.260
<v Speaker 2>also what God says at the end. Why is he

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 2>doing this? Not only for Hezekiah to live longer, but

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.260
<v Speaker 2>for his sake and the continuation of God's promise to David.

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:07.750
<v Speaker 2>God's faithfulness endures from generation to generation. Yes, indeed, Hezekiah recovered,

0:12:07.830 --> 0:12:11.030
<v Speaker 2>and word of his miraculous healing made its way all

0:12:11.070 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 2>the way to Babylon. The Babylonians were a rising superpower,

0:12:15.580 --> 0:12:18.460
<v Speaker 2>and their king sent gifts to Hezekiah to congratulate him,

0:12:18.980 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 2>and Hezekiah welcomed them into Judah. What he failed to

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>realize was that he was welcoming danger. Though Babylon at

0:12:27.700 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 2>that time seemed peaceful, Hezekiah's openness to show off the

0:12:31.540 --> 0:12:35.350
<v Speaker 2>riches of Judah would prove disastrous. When Isaiah heard what

0:12:35.390 --> 0:12:38.530
<v Speaker 2>he had done, the prophet spoke an ominous word from

0:12:38.550 --> 0:12:42.060
<v Speaker 2>the Lord. A day was coming when Babylon would carry

0:12:42.220 --> 0:12:45.870
<v Speaker 2>everything away. Nothing of Judah would survive and people would

0:12:45.900 --> 0:12:50.630
<v Speaker 2>go into captivity and serve as slaves for the Babylonians. Unfortunately,

0:12:50.670 --> 0:12:53.230
<v Speaker 2>the only thing that Hezekiah was hearing at this point

0:12:53.850 --> 0:12:55.970
<v Speaker 2>was that he would live, that he would not be

0:12:56.030 --> 0:13:01.090
<v Speaker 2>personally affected. So he wasn't overly concerned. In fact, he

0:13:01.130 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 2>wasn't even convinced that this whole thing would happen. And

0:13:04.580 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 2>although Hezekiah would not see the consequences of his naive

0:13:08.500 --> 0:13:12.410
<v Speaker 2>and faithless actions with the Babylonians, everything God said would

0:13:12.450 --> 0:13:16.550
<v Speaker 2>happen was coming to Judah. God's word is always true.

0:13:17.550 --> 0:13:22.170
<v Speaker 2>Hezekiah was truly a great man, a good man. But he,

0:13:22.230 --> 0:13:26.530
<v Speaker 2>like we, had blind spots. And sometimes we fail to

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.679
<v Speaker 2>see the things that we need to see because we

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:34.910
<v Speaker 2>lack understanding or wisdom, or we just don't want to know. Hezekiah,

0:13:34.970 --> 0:13:38.090
<v Speaker 2>though he was righteous and walked with God, was still

0:13:38.590 --> 0:13:40.990
<v Speaker 2>a man who needed the Lord. He was not a

0:13:41.030 --> 0:13:43.970
<v Speaker 2>perfect king, but we know a king who is perfect.

0:13:44.630 --> 0:13:47.540
<v Speaker 2>Our God is a righteous king, and he will always

0:13:47.660 --> 0:13:52.060
<v Speaker 2>rescue his people. O Lord, we thank you today for prayer.

0:13:52.900 --> 0:13:56.099
<v Speaker 2>We thank you for the opportunity always to speak to you,

0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:00.040
<v Speaker 2>to converse, to pray. And we ask you, O God,

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.679
<v Speaker 2>that we would always be about, as we are commanded,

0:14:03.220 --> 0:14:08.140
<v Speaker 2>the work of prayer. May we be praying people. And Lord,

0:14:08.179 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 2>we know that you not only hear, but you answer

0:14:10.780 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 2>our prayers according to your perfect will. Let us pray

0:14:13.460 --> 0:14:17.420
<v Speaker 2>with confidence and certainty in the name of Jesus. Amen.
