Israel and Judah
God trusted two men to deliver His message to the tribe of Judah and the children of Israel they were the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah. (Maller, 2006) Both of them got caught up in there on sinful acts and disobeyed God. God was angry and punished the two for their wrong doings. It was though the consequences from God that the two prophets begin to see how important and beneficial it was to them and to the lives of Christians that Gods message get delivered.
The message God gave Prophet Isaiah a message to stress the importance of how they needed to repent of their wicked ways and come back to God. Because of the love Isaiah had for his people he was compelled to warn them and save them from punishment from God directly.
He felt that the people of Israel had become a sinful nation as a whole. He believes that Israel left God and dishonored Him by their constant and deliberate disobedience to Him. Isaiah said that because of the sins of Israel it caused them to go in a direction opposite from God. Prophet Jeremiah warned Judah they should repent for their sins or God would send a curse upon them, they would be destroyed and turned into slaves. God gave word to the prophets telling them that "Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations (he has acted more wickedly than all the Amorites who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols), therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel: 'Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle. And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. So I will forsake the remnant of my inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become victims of plunder to all their enemies, because they have done evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day” (Holy Bible,
(Willis, 2011). Jeremiah 30:1 declares ‘I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.’’ (Holy Bible, 2001). Jeremiah was told by God that He was sending a nation to attack Jerusalem. God also wanted the name nation to attack Israel, but when then had seen what happened to Jerusalem they repented so God intervened and they all came back to God and received Him as their Lord and Savior. All of these happening were apart of Gods plan all
