2Ch 6:36-39
2Ch 6:36-39
“If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto a land far off or near; yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly; if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name: then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.”
That even if carried away captive Israel still may be heard and blessed of God:
E.M. Zerr:
2Ch 6:36. No man which sinneth not. This declaration is in agreement with the teaching of 1Jn 1:8; 1Jn 1:10. There is no pleasure in the thought that all men sin, but there is much encouragement in the thought that God understands, and has made provisions of mercy for all who will become penitent for their sins.
2Ch 6:37-39. Solomon made a conditional prediction that actually came to pass. The same prediction is made, in more specific and pathetic ‘terms, in Psalms 137. Then we may see the fulfillment of this woeful state of mind in Eze 37:11. It should be noted that Israel was in Babylonian captivity at the time the last passage was written, and that would make it actual history. The history of an event that had been predicted is what proves its fulfillment, so we have a noted instance before us of a conditional prophecy that became a fulfilled fact. The history of Israel shows that God heard the groaning of his people in Babylon, and brought them out after all the purposes of that punishment had been accomplished.
