Day 107: Provision, JUDGEMENT, and Prophecy in 2 Kings 7-9 | Bible In A Year (CSB)

On Day 107 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we cover 2 Kings 7-9. Elisha’s prophecy of deliverance brings miraculous provision to a besieged Samaria. The fulfillment of God’s word against Ahab’s house unfolds through Jehu’s violent purge, revealing divine justice and the cost of persistent rebellion in Israel.

Questions:
1. The sudden provision for Samaria in chapter 7 fulfills Elisha’s prophecy against all odds—how does this miracle deepen our theological understanding of God’s sovereignty over scarcity, and how might it shape our trust in His promises?

2. Jehu’s zeal in executing Ahab’s house in chapters 8-9 fulfills prophecy but is marked by brutality—how does this tension challenge us to wrestle with the theological interplay between divine judgment and the human tendency to exceed God’s mandate?

3. The downfall of Ahab’s line in chapter 9 reflects God’s intolerance of idolatry—how might this narrative invite us to reflect on the theological reality that God’s covenant faithfulness demands exclusive devotion, pointing to Christ’s ultimate cleansing of sin?
