In this teaching, Pastor Joe explores the consequences of ignoring God's instructions and the hope in His restoration, drawing from 2 Chronicles 36. Israel's disobedience, including neglecting the Sabbath year, led to Jerusalem's fall and exile. Yet, God’s redemptive plan, prophesied by Jeremiah and fulfilled through King Cyrus of Persia, brought restoration by rebuilding the temple. Pastor Joe ties this to Advent, reminding us that while waiting can feel endless, God’s faithfulness assures restoration in His perfect timing.
