This week we'll look briefly at Ezekiel 17-31, 2 Kings 24-25, 2 Chronicles 36, Jeremiah 21, 32-34, 38-40, 52, and Lamentations 1.

Chronological Bible 33:The Babylonian Exile (Part 1)
This week we'll reflect on Jeremiah 27-28, 31, 37-38, 49-52, 2 Kings 24, 2 Chronicles 3, 36, and Ezekiel 1-16.

I got behind on these last week, so this is the extra post to get us back on track to finish by the end of the year! This week we finished the book of Isaiah (chapters 40-66), and also read 2 Kings 20-21 and 2 Chronicles 32-34. We also began Jeremiah (chapters 1-2), but I'll [...]
