There was so much to cover in Chapter 2 that we wanted to take our time and not squeeze it all into one episode.

Starting with verse 18, God first tells His people that He will restore them, then how He will dismantle the force that oppressed them, and how He will bless them abundantly. It is the blessing He leaves behind for their repentance.

Chapter 2 is all about repentance for the Israelites but also for the future remnants who call upon the name of the Lord. The final four verses are a prophecy fulfilled in the New Testament. Because Jesus' apostles recite these verses on the day of Pentecost, there is an important message. The children of Zion will never be put to shame. It is a promise from God.
