Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEMS
2 chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

The Hezekiah (Heb: Chizkiyahu) narrative in II Kings (chapters 17 – 20) and Isaiah (36 – 39) concludes on a dissonant and haunting confrontation between King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah. Hezekiah has just shown his kingdom’s wealth to messengers of Brodach Baladan, King of Babylonia. Isaiah asks Hezekiah about his guests, and when Hezekiah tells him where they are from, Isaiah proclaims:
Behold, days are coming and everything in your house and what your
ancestors have collected until this day will be carried off to
Babylonia, nothing will remain saith the Lord. And the children that
you will beget will be taken to be eunuchs in the palace of the King
of Babylonia. And Hezekiah responded to Isaiah, the word of the Lord
that you have spoken is good, insomuch as there will be peace and
truth in my days. (II Kings 20:17-18, JPS translation).
This prophecy of doom is devastating and perplexing. Does Isaiah mean to say that Hezekiah is literally responsible for the future exile and destruction at the hands of Babylonians? If so, what did he do wrong? How should Hezekiah have known it was bad to receive foreign emissaries from Babylonia?

Duane L Burgess John Mushenhouse I submit to Philip Williams this verse refers to ISRAEL alone – has NOTHING to do with the rapture of the CHURCH

Troy Day nothing in the Bible has to do with the rapture of the church!

Troy Day agreed – we can thank Fallwell and Kennedy in the 80s for making this one of the most, if not most, interpreted scriptures in the Bible. Makes it easy for a topic on July 4 too.

Troy Day That is correct.
But there are elements in that verse that have universal application: humble ourselves, pray, seek God, turn from wicked ways.
But Yahweh only has a land covenant with ethnic national Israel.
The Gentiles (including the USA) must heed Jonah’s warning to Nineveh to repent of wickedness or suffer national judgment, which has already come to America.
May God have mercy on the USA.

Duane L Burgess elements in that verse that have universal application WILL apply modern day prophecy based on the OT?
