Day 190: Judah Is Overrun (2026)
7/9/202618 min
As we near the end of 2 Kings, Fr. Mike takes us through Babylon's conquest of Judah, under the leadership of King Nebuchadnezzar. He touches on the importance of wisdom in the Book of Proverbs and revisits the sons of Josiah to explain why the people of Israel are so lost. Today's readings are 2 Kings 24, 2 Chronicles 35, and Proverbs 8:22-36.

Before we get started, I just wanted to offer a quick thank you to all those who have supported The Catechism In a Year or the Bible In a Year podcasts. We hear stories every day about how those shows have transformed people's lives, and because of your prayers and financial gifts, you are a significant part of that. You might ask a question, though. The question is, what does Ascension do with these financial gifts? Great question. The answer is we make authentically Catholic podcasts and videos and other digital content to help people know the Catholic faith and grow closer to God, and we do it all for free. If you found this podcast to be helpful in your life and would like to help us continue making free Catholic content we can post online, please consider, uh, making a financial contribution, an ongoing financial contribution by going to ascensionpress.com/support. That's ascensionpress.com/support. Thank you, and God bless. [gentle music] Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible In a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible In a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 190, and we are reading from 2 Kings 24, 2 Chronicles 35. We're also reading from Proverbs 8, finishing up that chapter with verses 22 through 36. The Bible translation that I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition, and I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.
