II Chronicles

Chapter 36

1 Then the people of the land
took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah,
and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.

2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old
when he began to reign,
and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

3 And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem,
and condemned the land in an hundred talents
of silver and a talent of gold.

4 And the king of Egypt
made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem,
and turned his name to Jehoiakim.

And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

5 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old
when he began to reign,
and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem
and he did that which was evil
in the sight of Jehovah/God his 'Elohiym/Godhead.

6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
and bound him in chains/fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels
of the house of Jehovah/God to Babylon,
and put them in his temple at Babylon.

8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim,
and his abominations which he did,
and that which was found in him,
behold, they are written in
the book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem
and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah/God.

10 And when the year was expired,
king Nebuchadnezzar sent,
and brought him to Babylon,
with the goodly vessels of the house of Jehovah/God,
and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

{The Villain of Jeremiah Chapter 34}
11~~ Zedekiah was one and twenty years old
when he began to reign,
and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem {597-586 BC}.

12~~And he {Zedekiah} manufactured {'asah}
the evil {out of negative volition}
in the eyes of the Jehovah/God
his 'Elohiym/Godhead {Zedekiah was saved} . . .
  {the evil is specified - the prophet represents God and so is higher
  then the king}
he 'did not submit himself to the authority of' Jeremiah, the prophet
  {Jeremiah was rare in that he had both the gift and office of
  prophet - Moses and Jesus also had this combination},
speaking from the mouth of Jehovah/God
   {meaning Jeremiah was a True teacher of the Word}.

{Note: The principal is if you are negative to God and His Word, you also will be negative to the communicator God selects to give His Word.}

{2nd Form of the Evil of Zedekiah - Rebellious to the Lord and His Will}
13~~And he {Zedekiah} also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar,
who had caused him swear by 'Elohiym/Godhead.

But he {Zedekiah}
'had negative volition toward bible doctrine' {qashah `oreph}
   {idiom: literally 'he stiffened his neck'},
and kept on having 'scar tissue on his soul prohibiting him'
  {idiom: literally 'he hardened his 'right lobe'/heart'}
from returning to Jehovah/God the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel.

{Note: This means that negative volition to the teaching of the Word will eventually result in rejecting divine viewpoint entirely. Therefore, Zedekiah was NOT a man of his word. No integrity. So, no bible doctrine in your soul and rebellion against your God, your country, your own word, soon follows.}

14`` Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people,
transgressed very much
after all the abominations of the heathen {idolatry};
and polluted the house of Jehovah/God
  {put idols in the temple}
which He had hallowed in Jerusalem.

15``Jehovah/God . . . the 'Elohiym/Godhead
of their ancestors,
sent persistently to them
by his messengers,
because He had compassion
on His people
and on His dwelling place.

{People Rejected Bible Teaching under Apostasy}
16~~But they kept on mocking
the messengers of 'Elohiym/Godhead
  {bad manners in the assembly},
and despised His Words/Bible doctrine
  {despised the Doctrines of Jehovah/God},
and misused/scoffed His prophets
  {maltreatment of the communicators of the Truth},
until the wrath of Jehovah/God
arose against His people,
till there was no remedy.

17``Therefore he brought up against them
the king of the Chaldeans {Nebuchadnezzar},
who killed their youths with the sword
in the house of their sanctuary,
and had no compassion on young man or young woman,
the aged or the feeble;
he gave them all into his hand.

18``All the vessels of the house of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
large and small,
and the treasures of the house of the Jehovah/God,
and the treasures of the king
and of his officials,
all these he brought to Babylon.

19``They burned the house of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
broke down the wall of Jerusalem,
burned all its palaces with fire,
and destroyed all its precious vessels.

{70 years in captivity for Missing the 7th year Sabbaths for 490 Years}
20-21``He took into exile in Babylon
those who had escaped from the sword
  {Psalm 119 is this story}
and they became servants to him and to his sons
until the establishment of the kingdom of Persia, 21~~
to fulfill the Word of Jehovah/God
by the mouth of Jeremiah
  {Leviticus 25:11-12, 26:34} . . .
until the land had made up for its Sabbaths.

All the days that it lay desolate it kept Sabbath,
to fulfill seventy years."

22~~Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia,
that the word of Jehovah/God
spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished,
Jehovah/God stirred up the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia,
that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom,
and put it also in writing, saying, 23
"Thus says Cyrus, king of Persia,
all the kingdoms of the earth
has Jehovah/God the 'Elohiym/Godhead of heaven given me.

And He has charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem,
which is in Judah.

Who is there among you of all his people?

Jehovah/God his 'Elohiym/Godhead be with him,
and let him go up.

{Note: This is a proclamation made in 536BC.}
