In this second part to last week's message, Benjamin Shanks explores the theme of EXILE in 2 Kings.

First, ISRAEL's exile under five successive empires: Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. Then, HUMANITY'S exile from the Garden of Eden. Finally, OUR exile from the world as we know it should be.

"The time has come," Jesus said, "the kingdom of God has come near." With those words Jesus' kingdom brings the exile to an end.

This message will challenge you to live as a Citizen of the Kingdom while being a Subject of the Empire.
