After years of warnings many prophetic siren calls, God finally punished Israel for her rebellion during the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah’s, rule. The Lord allowed Babylon to lay siege and capture Jerusalem. Pastor Ed teaches us in today’s message from Daniel chapter one that the Lord is very patient with us and slow to anger. He does not take pleasure in judging the people of the earth. However, there comes a day, as it did in Israel, when the Lord will send corrective judgment to a rebellious people.
