✦ MADE SIMPLE

Go tell Ebed-melech the Ethiopian: 'This is what the Lord God of Israel says — I'm about to bring everything I warned about on this city. It's going to be devastating, not good at all. And you're going to see it all happen right in front of you.'

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's warnings aren't empty threats — when judgment comes, it comes exactly like he said it would.
