The Silence of the Prophets (2 Kings 15)
Chase Replogle
Pastor
Chapter 15 records a quick succession of kings and with it a strike absence of the prophetic witness. You could conclude that God must have been silent during these years, but you would be wrong. This period was one of the prophets’ most prolific. So why are they absent from 2 Kings 15?
The chapter forces us to ask the question of our own time. What keeps us from hearing God? What keeps us from recognizing how God is at work.
