The Bible in a Year – Day 183 – Israel Falls to Assyria

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.
