This account in 2 Kings and in Jeremiah concerning what became of Zedekiah and his family have always burned in my mind. The killer part was he had been CONSTANTLY warned through prophecy. This man had witnessed the power of God and how he used Nebuchadnezzar to judge Jerusalem before. It just boggles my mind that he still did evil and even rebelled against the man who put him in his position, though he had NO power.
The prophecy given to Hezekiah in his pride about his sons and them being castrated is utterly stupefying. Another man taking your manhood because of God's judgement, that makes me fear God even more. May God deliver me from my own arrogance and unbelief so I don't end up like Zedekiah, family slain and eyes gouged out. God is truly to be feared.
