In today's episode, Craig and LaDonna continue their study into the life of another wicked king, this time King Hoshea, who led Israel during Ahaz's rule over Judah. They continue to walk us through the judgements of God because of their unholy alliances with the Unholy Trinity of Baal, Asherah, and gods of child sacrifice. Banishment from their land which included Samaria, they were scattered far away from it and far away from each other. In one of the most important passages in all of the Indigenous Faith series, the Smiths then take us to Deuteronomy 28, where the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob clearly laid out how He would bless them if they only obeyed His word, and how he would judge them ever so severely if they chose unrighteousness instead. Hoshea's leadership had consequences not just for him, but for the nation he led astray. Just another example of what happens to God's people when we choose to let our affections be taken away from the One true God to serve and embrace lesser gods. He who has ears, let him hear what the Lord is saying to us today.
