Day 183: Israel Falls to Assyria (2025)

Today we read about the critical moment when Assyria destroys the Northern Kingdom, and the ten northern tribes are exiled and assimilated among the nations. Fr. Mike explains how this moment and the foreign possession of Samaria is key in order to understand Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4. We also read about how the prophet Micah beautifully foreshadows the birth of Jesus. Today's readings are 2 Kings 17, Micah 5-7, and Psalm 140.

Support The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

There are people that adamantly defend a point on principle. “People shouldn’t break the law,” they might say.

But, I would respond, lawgivers should not make laws out of eggshells.

There must be a map of ethics that can be traced, in order to ensure that all legal and legislative processes are ethical and just.

There are countless cases of laws being made to be broken, in order to trap the law-breaker. This is silly, and in extreme cases it becomes tyrannical. But, only socialists are tyrannical, it seems (that’s sarcasm).

We must be just, ethical and graceful. Laws are made to guide and protect, not profit and entrap.

This is a great scripture that I often use to guide my walk and enduing actions:

He has made it clear to you, mortal man, what is good and what the LORD is requiring from you— to act with justice, to treasure the LORD’s gracious love, and to walk humbly in the company of your God.

-Micah 6:8 ISV
