Re: 2 King chapter 24, verse 4 really stood out for me:
4 And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the Lord would not pardon.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
What stood out for me is the mention of innocent blood and that the Lord would not pardon it. This is SERIOUS, mon. The Lord wouldn't pardon this. There must be a significant reason why this would not be pardoned, specifically......makes ya' wonder if this is part of the reason that Jehoiakim was noted as an especially evil king, and makes ya' wonder if he didn't also curse the reign of his son after him because of his wickedness.
One last thought:
The innocent blood that is spoken of, is that possibly the sacrifice of children and babies upon altars that this is referring to?
The part where is says "innocent blood" kinda reminds me of abortion.
Brinny,
We are not told what this shedding of innocent blood means but it sounds like human sacrifice to me.
