Day 111: Deliverance, PRIDE, and Prophecy in 2 Kings 19-21 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 111 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we cover 2 Kings 19-21. Hezekiah’s faith leads to God’s miraculous deliverance from Assyria, affirming His sovereignty. Yet, Hezekiah’s pride and Manasseh’s egregious idolatry foreshadow Judah’s coming judgment, blending divine mercy with warnings of exile.

Questions:
1. Hezekiah’s prayer in chapter 19 prompts God’s intervention against Assyria—how does this deepen our theological understanding of prayer as a participation in God’s sovereign power, aligning human dependence with divine glory?

2. Hezekiah’s pride in showing Babylon his treasures in chapter 20 invites future calamity—how might this failure challenge us to reflect on the theological peril of self-reliance, even in moments of divine favor, and its consequences for God’s people?

3. Manasseh’s idolatry in chapter 21 provokes God’s irreversible judgment—how does this tragic reign invite us to wrestle with the theological tension between God’s longsuffering grace and the certainty of His justice when repentance is forsaken?
