✦ MADE SIMPLE
Israel completely forgot about God, their Creator, and got busy building fancy temples instead. Judah went all-in on fortified cities everywhere. But here's what's coming: I'm going to send fire that will burn down their cities and destroy all those impressive palaces they're so proud of.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you forget God and put all your trust in the things you've built, don't be surprised when it all comes crashing down.
