47 - Oholibah's Political Prostitution

What experience and history teach is this — that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.

Judah did not learn from the example set by the Northern ten tribes of Israel of forsaking God for earthly pleasure and relinquishing trust in God for trust in man. They ignored the lessons and became worse offenders to God then the Northern tribes were. Judah had the long history of Israel’s transgressions as an example of what not to do. They also saw the severity of the punishment that God wrought upon them for turning from His protection and trusting in men instead of Him. They had an intimate understanding of what had happened to the Northern ten tribes but they ignored was they knew to be true and committed offenses to God that were worse then their sister Oholah.
