Ahaz King of Judah: He Trusted in Man and NOT the Lord (2 Kings 16/2 Chronicles 28)

Ahaz, king of Judah, was a wicked ruler who engaged in idolatry, even sacrificing his own son, and led the nation into deep rebellion against God. Facing military threats, he compromised by seeking help from the Assyrian king rather than trusting in the Lord, ultimately betraying God’s temple. His reign highlights the dangers of idolatry, the value of human life, and the need for God's mercy, pointing to Christ as the only true source of salvation.
