We trace Judah’s final arc from Josiah’s remarkable Passover to the fall of Jerusalem and the surprising hope in Cyrus’s decree, and we set up a chronological journey through the Minor Prophets to see God’s heart across the same timeline. We share a free visual guide to help map kings to prophets for clarity and deeper engagement.
• Josiah restores worship and leads an unmatched Passover
• A fatal decision at Megiddo ends a season of reform
• Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah accelerate decline
• Prophetic warnings from Jeremiah and Ezekiel are ignored
• Babylon destroys the temple and deports the people
• Seventy years of exile fulfill Jeremiah’s word
• Cyrus authorizes return and rebuilding in Jerusalem
• Why Chronicles speaks to a returning community
• Next: reading Minor Prophets roughly in order
• Free resource to visualize prophets to kings for study
